To think it's unfair on HRH Catherine

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.

Anyone else reckon Meghan might be expecting? That would smash the last taboo.

SilverySurfer · 28/11/2017 14:15

YABU and ridiculous. Do you think Harry and Meghan just arbitrarily chose a date suitable for them? Royal calendars are booked way into the future and all would need to be checked before choosing a date.

Ha ha don't be silly OP

will NO ONE think of the Duchess!!

Sweetpea55 · 28/11/2017 14:23

You seem overly concerned OP...
Its their business and I'm sure the Royal Household will have discussed these matters with the happy couple.

LittleWitch · 28/11/2017 14:29

From the other thread Meghan is pregnant - this is off the record from a newspaper royal correspondent.

So perhaps Catherine won't be upset after all - the bride won't be upstaging her cos they'll both be pregnant in the photos. Hmm

honeycrumpet · 28/11/2017 14:35

Thought this was interesting - a letter to the then Princess Elizabeth from her father after her wedding, implying that her engagement was really long - they announced their engagement in July and got married in November the same year, so only 4 months. Short engagements are very normal and traditional in the Royal Family. It's not like they have to save up to pay for it after all...

The80sweregreat · 28/11/2017 14:43

First world problems, all of it. I am sure that the new bride, the inlaws and the outlaws will be all fine and mange okay ( with numerous staff and designers of posh dresses on board for all eventualities, if Kate is pregnant still, or not) I am sure that Harry didn't think too much about his latest niece or nephew when he asked Meghan to marry him!

WindowsNeedCleaning · 28/11/2017 14:45

YABU. Talking about complete strangers as if you know them.

Clitoria · 28/11/2017 14:45

It must be awful and so, so difficult being a millionaire, my heart bleeds for them all.
If Catherine is struggling to cope she could always stop churning out the kids.
HTH

Perhaps you could write a letter to "HRH" telling her how it's troubling you and can she reassure you she'll be ok. While you're at it you can tell her a few of your worries. I'm sure she'll be very concerned. I believe she's a bit of a worrier too.

Thank goodness someone else has posted about this. I have been worrying myself silly about it all day.

OMG I'm so with you hun, sobbing my heart out and can't seem to stop, sniff. I think we should all write letters of support to Kate, I'm sure they will help her deal with this terrible news.

I don't know about anyone else but I shan't be sending a gift to the couple after this. I'm sure they will be gutted not to receive the photo frame from Argos I had decided upon. Grin

The wedding is in May OP shock horror Kate might not have her pre-baby body back!!!

RebeccaBunch · 28/11/2017 15:38

MAY!! Fucks sake, will no one think of the sure- to-be-BF Duchess/HRH's boobs?

Millennials these days are SO SELFISH.

x2boys · 28/11/2017 15:39
