To think the woman who gave Prince William a babygrow...

[SchroSawMummyRidingSantaClaus]

Is a bit of a nutter if she thinks he will actually keep it and use it?

Well that won't happen will it icelolly?

Oh come on,can you not see her on Aibu? Aibu to wish my inlaws didn't have a key to our palacehome :o

Perry I think he's unlikely to ever need a bra though. :o

I'd love it if she joined MN. I bet the babygrow loon is a MNetter.

Totally agree with Pagwatch (and several others). I had a rant at DH when I saw the news item, 'what if they are trying and its not happening, how insensitive' etc etc. I was actually going to start my very first MN thread on exactly that point.

Agree with Pag et al. If anyone gave a gift like that to me or DH, I'd probably spend the night sobbing in bed (TTC for 2.5 years)

So what would actually happen if they couldn't conceive?

Harry would be next in line.

He would be traditional and lop her head off and marry someone else :)

Current line of succession:

Prince Charles
Prince William
Prince Harry
Prince Andrew
Princess Beatrice
Princess Eugenie
Prince Edward
James (Viscount Severn)
Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor
Princess Anne
Peter Phillips
Savannah Phillips
Isla Phillips
Zara Tindall

Have not seen this news story but think it's absolutely ridiculous/ insensitive/ thoughtless to give baby gift before someone has even conceived! So YANBU -she's a nutter!

Winkly You are assuming it would be because she couldn't concieve.

Who the hell is Zara Tindall?

Zara Phillips

Princess Anne's daughter.

What a bloody crass thing to do.

Ah right okay. Thanks. :)

schro that was a joke - do you think Henry the Eighth would have been up for sperm analysis? If we still had a lopping heads off Royal Family, they would assume it was her. Couldn't possibly be a problem with the royal swimmers could there.

I thought that it was a sweet thing to make BUT a totally inappropriate gift for couple not publicly pregnant - if pregnant at all. Poor Kate. Just really hoping that she didn't miscarry yesterday or similar. Anything could have happened or be happening - just like anybody else - which is why you don't do this kind of thing.

I think it's been said several times already but I wouldn't dream of giving a baby present to anyone who wasn't quite definitely expecting a baby. In fact I'm old-fashioned and don't usually present a gift until the baby's actually arrived safe and well. My view is coloured by a friend suffering a still birth at eight months though.

I know it was a joke, I forgot the winky face.

Imperia :( Completely understandable on those reasons that you wouldn't want to give a gift to someone who hadn't actually had a baby. I would think that is would also be pretty simple logic. Obviously babygrow woman hadn't thought of that though, which is surprising as she was wearing a practically newborn waiting in the cold without a hat .

I agree with Pagz.

It's awful and pushy and CREEPY AS FUCK.

Why would you do this?! Why?!

I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt a bit and assuming post baby sleeplessness is the reason behind her reasoning skills obviously not working right.

I actually feel sorry for them. For all the years they were together everyone was all 'when will they get married?' and then as soon as they did everyone moved onto 'right.. babies!' Leave them be ffs, they might not even-shock horror!- want kids, or even be having trouble trying so the babygrow could actually have been a kick in the teeth.

My personal opinion is that they waited until they felt ready for children before getting married. They are not stupid and will have known that once they were married the "baby?" questions would start. I just hope, for their sake, that they are not having problems TTC as I know just how heartbreaking that is.

Everyone asks what if they have problems conceiving etc. Perhaps they don't want to have any children!

They've said openly in interviews that they want children. If they didn't want them they would have dodged the questions - a la Charles and his "whatever love is" comment
