They've gone to the Maldives without Prince George apparently (it's in the dm)

Seriously?? Think this might turn the tide of public opinion against them...seems its just one long holiday being the D and D of Cambridge....

To say the least.

Still, now they know the daily mail is right behind them

What a comfort that must be:)

If the Maldives are essential for conception, I fail to see why its not on the NHS. Second honeymoon my arse. Perhaps Kate has been shouting " but I'm a princess! You said it would be fun! Take me to the Maldives this minute!"

And like a good, kind, freeloading husband that he is, he has.

Or - he said " let's go to the Maldives, babe," and she said " no! I'm a princess in status only! Take me to centreparcs this minute"

And he said no! I'm a prince and I want to go to the Maldives. Come on, lots of press taking pics of us, the daily mail will do a piece, your netmums mates will be really happy for you etc etc"

And it will really piss off the mn posters. Now, will you pack the penis beaker or shall we make do on arrival?:)

She's supposed to be a netmums poster, but that could be just pr again:)

Maybe she's on mn:) ( scours boards for " my holiday hell in the Maldives" or " my dh wants another baby. I've just got my figure back" or " what to wear in the Maldives"

I doubt she has time to post, what with supervising packing and all:)

venturabay · 09/03/2014 22:05

What's her username then?

If Kate is on Internet forums I doubt she would be using this one. We're too common Grin

gertiegusset · 10/03/2014 00:24

Kate isn't a Princess yet.

A mere Duchess.

I bet that boils her piss.

gertiegusset · 10/03/2014 00:26

If Kate is on internet forums I bet she is so on here.

gertiegusset · 10/03/2014 01:26

it's here ma'am

gertiegusset · 10/03/2014 01:38

Thank you.
Just off for a gander.
Then must push off to bed.

KarenBrockman · 10/03/2014 05:48

Kate is a Princess, it says so on PG's birth certificate.

fideline · 10/03/2014 06:02

Who cares what title she has? It is what she does(n't) do that is important to anyone being required to subsidise her upkeep.

SauceForTheGander · 10/03/2014 06:24

Perhaps this holiday is all Carol's idea so she can have squishy George all to herself.

Carol Middleton's Master Plan

  1. Have DDs
  2. Send her to posh school
  3. Send her to St Andrew's
  4. Get Prince to fall in love with DD
  5. Wait
  6. Wait
  7. Royal wedding - hurray
  8. Become at Grandmother to a boy and heir
  9. Offer to have baby heir at all times when DD goes on holiday (suggest to DD that she needs to work on marriage if necessary etc)

Sounds most likely. Wink

BalloonSlayer · 10/03/2014 06:46

Kate is a Princess. She is Princess William. Grin

(as in Princess Michael of Kent. Oh I was SO disappointed to find out she was really called Marie-Christine. I thought her name was actually Michael like the lady from Little House on the Prairie)

She would only be Princess Catherine if her parents (father?) were in direct line to the throne and she was born into royalty. Married-into-Royalty are just named by their husband's title. Princess Diana was never really called that. She was The Princess of Wales, then post divorce was Diana, Princess of Wales. The title "Princess Diana" (which I always call her) never existed.

amandine07 · 10/03/2014 15:10

Made it as far as the bottom of the second page where the OP makes the speculation that PG is not being breastfed, therefore, he is not getting the best of everything, as would befit a future king...!

Yeah start a thread about WillKat swanning off to the Maldives, but adding loaded comments about breastfeeding...OP I'm sure many women out there give their babies the best of everything even if they are not breastfeeding, which Kate may or may not be continuing to do.

What a twatty comment!

louloutheshamed · 10/03/2014 16:21

I knew that comment would attract criticism. You may find it twatty but it is factually correct. People do get extremely upset and defensive when confronted with scientific facts about breastfeeding.

When I heard she had left him I thought of this quotation from professor J Stewart Forsyth from Ninewells in Dundee - he is quoted in the politics of breastfeeding as saying
"a millionaire's baby who is not breastfed is less healthy than an exclusively breastfed baby whose mother is in the poorest social group" which I thought was quite apposite here.

Of course we don't know how long she bf for, I know she was pictured wearing seraphine breastfeeding dresses after the birth- but that dies t mean anything- I found clothes designed for bf were actually pretty impractical.

But I cannot imagine she is still doing it if she has away from him for 11 days.

gertiegusset · 10/03/2014 23:01

I am no royalist but I would respectfully say that it is none of your business whether or not she is BFing.
As for scientific facts and Prof J Stewart Forsyth, utter twaddle, I would think the mother from the poorest economic group would have a less healthy diet which would mean her BF baby gets a less healthy diet too.
I didn't realise this thread was a stealth thread for FFing bashing.

My DiL expresses, she didn't want to BF herself but is expressing and bottle feeding, she has so much she is freezing it and delivering it to the local hospital to be used in the prem baby wards.

I shall hide this now because I have no interest in BF v FF threads.

amandine07 · 10/03/2014 23:34

gertiegusset
Yes I thought that too, a stealth thread for BF vs FF (yawn) and bashing a woman for her presumed parenting choices based on what kind of clothing she is wearing etc.
We know bugger all about her really.
If you're secure in your own decisions about how you bring up your children then I'd say that you really don't need to criticise others about their choices.

It isn't. RTFT.

louloutheshamed · 11/03/2014 08:01

This isn't just a ff/bf thread, that is just one aspect of it. I am enjoying the debate about monarchy.

But the fact is that km is incredibly influential. Clothes she wears sell out minutes after she is pictured in them. She and George are the most high profile mother and baby in recent history, and if she bf him it might (bug might) have had a positive impact on this country's woefully poor bf rates.

louloutheshamed · 11/03/2014 08:02

Gertie you would think that's how it works wrt bf and nutrition but actually it doesn't.
