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.

I did also think that Meghan was pregnant when I saw her on TV yesterday.

At least there's an end date for all the sycophantic & overinvested fuck(t)wittery now and then hopefully an H&M hiatus until they're up the duff. Would be good if Buck Palace gave us a countdown in that so the many uninterested taxpayers amongst us could block it out.

I'd imagine the timing is not being delayed because the groom has increasingly frail grandparents that he'd like to be there.

I agree that there is probably an enemy of that.

Both Harry and William are extremely close to Philip.

That is literally a whole other thread

• element not enemy!

I'm sure they'll all have a lovely time. I think MM looks like a cross between the Middleton sisters

Yes I liked what a Royal correspondent said yesterday. He emphasised on the closeness of the boys and The Queen & DofE and just said "The Queen would have never have said no [to Harry]" as in giving them their blessing.

Oh I really hope this is a genuine post.

It’s given me the belly laugh which has been sorely needed

I think she and Harry look really alike actually. Especially if you look at them in profile. Apart from the obvious difference in skin tone and hair colour they could be brother and sister. It's the nose and shape of chin.

I'm not a royalist by any stretch of the imagination but they look happy and good luck to them I met and married dh all within six months I wasent pregnant I wasent royal either mind .

It'll be hard, but I think she'll cope.

Just as well as apparently 'at her age, it's now or never'...
There are not enough eye rolls !

Meghan could be pregnant - especially in the photo in that white wrap around dress /cost.

What will happen if either the Queen or DoE dies in the spring? Obviously the baby can be sent back and delivered again later in the year, but it's hard to cancel a wedding...........

TBH Bert there's probably a plan for it.

I always wondered if the rumours that Queen Alexandra was dun in to allow an appropriate period of mourning before the coronation were true.

Brizzle if you're not interested in the thread I find that scrolling on by works.

They could do a combo wedding/baptism/funeral Bertrand, it'll all be the same guests. Maybe just allow people time to change hats as each new ceremony starts.
Would save lots of money and we only have one 'all other news cancelled' day.

Maybe they just wouldnt announce it untill after the wedding Bertrand?

There's a wedding in a Chalet School book where they announce the death of Granny half way through the reception and everyone goes home.........

Yeah that might be an idea Kurri save on tax payers money too?

People could have reversible hats just in case.......

Pfft. I was 39 weeks pregnant at DSis's wedding. No noses out of joint or thunder stealing to be had. She was a bit concerned at my dance moves later on in the night that it would set off labour.

But I was bopping until about 2am.

a spring wedding is one way to make sure all eyes are on you and not Catherine

Why assume that people make these kinds of decisions based on a desire to grab the maximum attention for themselves? It boggles my brain that people really think like this. It comes up on MN all the time - the implication that having a baby, finding out the sex of the baby, getting married etc is all about getting the due amount of attention and not being upstaged.

And reversible outfits I think, I wonder how much time they would leabe between the ceremonies so people could go for a wee etc?
