To think it's unfair on HRH Catherine

[InLoveWithLizML]

It's been on my mind that a spring wedding is one way to make sure all eyes are on you and not Catherine. As depending on the date chosen she'll either be extremely heavily pregnant or possibly postpartum, she's never really rushed to the celeb demands of having your pre-pregnancy body in 4 weeks. If she has HG that lasts till term she really won't enjoy the day, I remember one heavily pregnant Mum when I got married going home in the end to rest she was struggling that much.

It'll be a dilemma for William as he'll want to celebrate the day, as will Catherine. If she's heavily pregnant or post partum he got really overly drink, I think I'm right in thinking Catherine BF so she can't drink and needs somewhere private to feed. (Plus possibly an outfit that allows for ease of feeding)

I'm wondering if there's already an announcement due for once their married, that Harry & Meghan are expecting, thus the 4/5 month turn around if not quicker, going by my interpretations of Spring. It seems rather rushed.

I understand given Meghan's age it's now or never, I just feel it's a bit harsh on Catherine, as in any scenario she'll not overly get to celebrate the day. She's always been close to Harry, so I assume she'd want to take part and have a time similar to her wedding, partying till the small hours.

A summer wedding would give Catherine & William the luxury of not worrying if baby will arrive imminently, or that Catherine will be postpartum, knackered and really not feel like a part of the day.

I know it's Harry & Meghan's big day, but as I've said he's always been close to his brother and SIL. I honestly thought any announcement would be with the third pregnancy in mind.

OP, are you disappointed? Or do you think Kate will have enough time?

@Nikephorus some lovely misogynistic language there!

[BitOutOfPractice]

* Most intelligent women would realise that behaviour like that makes them look like they're attention-seeking tarts.*

I think attention is one thing that Kate does not lack

Battleax what on earth are you talking about? I’m getting the impression you’d argue with yourself.

[Raisedbyguineapigs]

She was only young and an aspiring actress when she married the first time. Its hardly surprising if she felt she would rather wait to have children. Actresses have a far more limited time to establish a career than actors. She also probably isn't the first person who thought that after such a long time together it was marriage or split, and who made the wrong choice.

[VanillaSugar]

I thought it was Mavis?

[Battleax]

No need for you to be so odd then

[Littlehenrylee]

That goes without saying surely?

[Battleax]

If divorce was on the cards, she would hardly start trying for a baby or am I missing something??!

So divorce was "On the cards" at the point they married after seven years together?

You're being very obtuse in your efforts to ridicule the question.

Why not just point out that there could be a million reasons a couple don't have children?

[Littlehenrylee]

If divorce was on the cards, she would hardly start trying for a baby or am I missing something??!

She also had a very successful career so why would she want kids? Royal babies are a different matter.

[Rainbowandraindrops67]

I think she was 34 when they divorced

[Littlehenrylee]

Wasn’t she very young when she met her ex? Not many people make a decision to have children at 23! Scrap that, I don’t know many people who decide to have children under thirty!


Harry is gay? This is the first time I’ve read that. I remember reading the same thing here about Brad Putt and George Clooney. Nonsense.

[sunshinestorm]

You can't plan your life around other people's pregnancies!

[Increasinglymiddleaged]

Increasingly - she was with him for 6/7 years in total
and I had been with DH for 10 years before we started a family.

[Lweji]

From the time I met my ex to when I got pregnant with DS it was about 8 years. It means nothing. I could easily have got divorced before DS was conceived.

[Rainbowandraindrops67]

Yes Doris! A marriage of convenience for them both!

Increasingly - she was with him for 6/7 years in total

"I wonder why she didn’t have kids with her last husband though"

At a wild guess- because she didn't want to?

[VanillaSugar]

Who? Kate or Megs?

[DorisDangleberry]

I wonder at what point she will discover he is gay and the manly army thing is all a front

[Increasinglymiddleaged]

I wonder why she didn’t have kids with her last husband though

Well they were only married 2 years. At the risk of stating the bleeding obvious not everyone has them straight away....!

[Rainbowandraindrops67]

I wonder why she didn’t have kids with her last husband though - i wouldn’t be surprised if harry and Meghan don’t have any kids actually - she is 36 and assuming they wait to be married to start trying she’s going to be at least 37 with her first even if it happens straight away. Somehow I don’t think they’ll have to wait long for ivf etc though!

[Rainbowandraindrops67]

Well given that Harry told us all they had shared a tent on their third date it’s a definite possibility!!
