@Roussette

I hope all these apparent 'rules' are passed on to Eugenie, Beatrice and anyone else in the RF so they know when their time comes. No photos. Just 'a simple announcement' is what is decreed. Apparently.
And presumably when the baby arrives they aren't allowed to release a single picture, just a simple announcement is all that is necessary.Hmm

@akissandasmile it is my business the moment they use the mainstream media to publicise their news. Anyone's business in fact, that is exactly what they want, that you talk and think about it. The moment they consent to releasing the news and hit my BBC news stream, it becomes my business too, and since they want me to know about it and gets prime view on the country's main news media, I may as well have the right to put my views forward too. Welcome to the new social media world, and we all need to be careful what you wish for.

How was the photo taken then? I read with an IPad, but remotely- so they set up a zoom meeting, settled on the grass and then he took a screenshot?

The photographer is a friend I understand but I can’t my head round the mechanics of it

I think Meghan looks gorgeous in the photo but Harry’s feet are 🤢

There was an article in one of the papers today doing an analysis of his feet, and saying he might have a bunion. Shock Grin

Like there’s nothing else going on in the world just now 🤣

Lovely news and I am happy for them, as I am for anyone having a baby.
I do think the timing could've been better...they are upstaging Eugenie again, and that's not fair.

Here you go @DenisetheMenace . Of course it was the Mail, I couldn't read it all because I get the adblocker thing and I am not removing it!

Grin lol Did you question Zara's "timing" when they announced she was pregnant not long after Meghan said she had suffered a miscarriage? If not, why?

Got that of your chest now CrewTwo. You should feel a bit better.

cabbagevan · 15/02/2021 20:50

Having a photo shoot was unnecessary, regardless of their relationship to the photographer.

Why? They wanted to have a photo, they know a photography and so they had a photo taken. Better to release a photo they choose than have the press hounding them.

Roussette · 15/02/2021 20:50

I can’t think why anyone find them anything but intolerable

The majority on here don't think like you do thank god. I'm glad I'm not in your head.

Sparklingbrook · 15/02/2021 20:53

Was it a 'photoshoot'? Or just one picture?

Roussette · 15/02/2021 20:54

One picture taken by a long term friend who happens to be a photographer

Wow, you put a lot of energy into that post. I hope you're ok.
MissEliza · 15/02/2021 21:13

I wonder if this will prevent Harry from coming to England in the summer. International travel is so uncertain these days. It might be too risky to leave Meghan.

youvegottenminuteslynn · 15/02/2021 21:13

I genuinely feel sorry for people like @CrewTwo. It must be miserable having such nasty thoughts about strangers and feeling so strongly about them you can be arsed to share those thoughts on a forum.

PuffItsGone · 15/02/2021 21:16

I’m slightly confused but it’s everyone’s prerogative to change their views over time I suppose. They must have decided the world could take another human so congrats I suppose.

SenecaFallsRedux · 15/02/2021 21:36

Change their minds about what? I don't think they ever said that they were only going to have one child.

You're right, they didn't. It seems to be the latest thing the Meghan bashers have fabricated to have a go at her. As if people aren't allowed to change their mind about how many kids they want anyway. Amazing, the PP above saying they are 'confused' because they thought they were only having one. 🤯
douliket · 15/02/2021 21:50

I think it's wonderful news and people must not intelligent enough if they are easily confused by the couples request for privacy and their wishes to announce special news themselves. Seriously, what is to question..of course they are entitled to privacy and they were absolutely 100% right to fight for their privacy rights and they are 100% entitlement to make their own announcements in their own time. I feel that anyone who questions that are really bitter people or else lacking in something in their own lives. I respect this couple so so much, they have not had an easy start to married life,I wish them all the luck in the world.

Becles · 15/02/2021 23:38

@mootymoo

I thought they wanted privacy, to be private citizens??? Private citizens don't post about their lives on public access websites unless they want to court publicity
Private citizens like these? Have we actually seen any evidence of H&M using their child for publicity or financial gain, or is it all snide innuendos and conveniently forgetting the other royal grandchildren who've flogged events without a murmur?
