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.

It was announced earlier that the wedding is taking place in May and the Royal family are paying for it all. Kate is due early April and the Queen has to attend a function in mid April. The world doesn't revolve around Kate or William and there will be plenty of help on hand to look after the children. For all the public know, Kate could have a CS in late March and just pose in early April as if the baby has just arrived. Apparently, a lot of famous people do that so they have their figures back soon after the public due date to avoid body shaming in the media. Harry and Megan will have discussed it with both families to check for work commitments before informing the staff or media. They are already attending charity functions together and have a very busy schedule before the wedding.

The "problem" presented in the OP is batshit bonkers and embarrassing. Anybody visiting MN for the first time will back out slowly. And it will naturally feature in Daily Wail, it is just their kind of material. Pity this ludicrous lament will be here for posterity.

It won't be them that chose the final date.

Lulu I hope you have sufficient green ink in your printer.

OP, you sound a tad demented.

Laughing at all the people who come on to this thread just to post how uninterested they are...

Laughing, @Haffiana? A bit like a puzzled child who didn't understand the adult joke? Can't have been any other way since there was no joke.

I am disinterested, but that is not why I posted. It is embarrassing. Anyone visiting MN will see stuff like that and think this is where those too thick, vain, snowflakey or superficial for the Daily Wail go.

Lovely Silvery so different I'm sure the baby will look lovely in that knitted kimono

Crack on if you find it that amusing.

Definitely the date was chosen by Meghan so Kate wouldn’t be looking at her best - I can’t see the two of them being friends tbh - both much too competitive.

Who gives a shit?!

^ this

OMG next they’ll be a thread started on here by queenoneday stating that she’s pissed off cos BIL and his finance have planned a wedding just after she’s given birth when she’s not going to be at her best and might look a size 8 on the pictures and how she’s not going to cope with 3under 5s during the wedding with only 1 nanny how she thinks the grooms really in love with her sister anyway (new fiancé looks sus like her) how she is being forced to stay with the in laws for the wedding as all the hotel rooms have gone. Dh is best man and she won’t even be in the top table! And the couple have asked for charity goats for wedding presents

At least people can come on and say batshit guestzilla then, @Iwanttobe8stoneagain. Whereas OP just accuses a stranger of being batshit guestzilla.

Some of you are being a bit presumptuous.
How do you know Catherine and Megan wont/don't get on,,? "

Iwanttobe - yes Meghan def looks like Pippa - i thought that too

@sweetpea - i just can’t see them being more than passing friends - they are both the same age and will naturally be competing with each other. Kate is established now and Meghan a lot of confidence - she’s not going to play a back role to Kate

How come, when she is a divorcee they can marry in a Church of England church? Charles and Camilla were not allowed to marry at St George’s Chapel - they were in exactly the same circumstances : he was not married, she was a divorcee who had been married to a Catholic.

They were in very different circumstances. They were both divorced and their adultery was judged to have directly led to the breakdown of their first marriages.

The ultimate decision lies with the parish priest but this rule is pretty consistently applied across the church of England.

I believe Meghan's actual name is Rachel. But we are all pretending it is Meghan because that is what she wants to be called

It is her middle name, unlike the name used for the former Chancellor of the Exchequer who ran away after Brexit, christened Gideon Oliver Osbourne.

Competing for what?

It's possible for the world to like them both and they both have/will have a royal DH.

I like to think that they'll all get on and do normal family things like go to dinner at each other's houses and enjoy each other's company.

This thread has made me chuckle for many reasons 😂

they are both the same age and will naturally be competing with each other.

Why 'naturally'? What do they have to compete about? It's not (yet) Royal Big Brother where the least popular one gets evicted.

It's a bit shit for Kate. My db married when dd was a couple of months old. I was breastfeeding and fat and I really couldn't let my hair down as much as I would have liked. On the other hand Kate might like not being in the spotlight for a change. She certainly doesn't crave it.

It's brilliant

Loads and loads of people are known by their middle name. In all the cases I know, the parents have been the ones to choose the name the child is known as. People do it for all sorts of reasons: eg it is traditional to have a family name as a first name (I know a lady whose "actual" first name is Edna on this basis), people like a name but want to avoid a certain set of initials (I know a Ben who is actually James Benedict for this reason), people think a certain name sounds "better" in that order (my Auntie Kate is actually Margaret Katherine because my gran didn't like Katherine Margaret).

Doesn't necessarily mean anyone is "pretending"....

And if Wills is best-man, he'll be sitting on the top table and Kate won't have anyone to help her with the kids! Juggling two young toddlers and a newborn/ heavily pregnant won't be easy.

LOL
