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.

Thank you, I'm glad you don't think I'm being unreasonable. I look forward to the conversation. Do you think it is significant that my other SIL did the same with my 3rd pregnancy, I wasn't quite as pregnant but still had a big bump? It could have been a conspiracy, not sure how I can tackle that one as they are divorced now. I've missed the boat haven't I?

HadronCollider · 29/11/2017 16:02

How very vindictive of them all to conspire against you granny. You certainly haven't missed the boat, if anything, the fact they're divorced and upstaged you for nothing makes you more entitled! I advise you to make civil against them both separately. Get yourself a shit hot lawyer. For now at least they can contribute towards a matching designer handbag to complement the coat, shoes and hat! Remember how entitled you are!

grannytomine · 29/11/2017 16:28

I am trying to think of something to add to my grievances but am actually having a bit of a laugh. I will try to recover my dignity forthwith.

and possibly a Duke of Windsor,

He's been dead rather a long time and not really in a position to be snotty about American divorcees in the first place.

J'AIME ya @ Battleax

My heart bleeds for D of C, she has such a hard life!

Wrongintherightway · 29/11/2017 17:30

Woman having a baby is not news, couple getting married is not news.

War in Syria, famine, diease humanitarian crisis, poverty, homeless crisis all are news plus loads more maybe a shift in priorities......

SleepingStandingUp · 29/11/2017 17:35

Lots of siggeations this is a sudden wedding because Meghan is pregnant but if tats the case wouldn't it be sooner? She's unlikely to waddle up the aisle 7 months pregnant for all the country to tout tout about I would have thought? Not that there's anything to tout about, I doubt there booty saving themselves for the wedding night

Laiste · 29/11/2017 17:37

Will there be a poem in the invites is what i want to know.

We'll be given a stately home and can fill it with stuff,
From books to sofas, we will have enough.
So - no more old paintings and gold chairs please, just bung in some cash,
We're gagging for the honeymoon and will head off in a dash.
A romantic beach break off the yacht will really do the trick,
Once all the fuss is over we’ll be on that plane quick!

They're not living as normal people although if I were Kate I'd welcome anything which would mean I'd escape being photographed in high heels the day I gave birth.

Is that you Carole M?

St George’s is very small I cannot imagine it will be as large an affair as Wills and Kate’s wedding. I think they just want to be married and enjoy their lives. I don’t think people need to plan their weddings around everyone else it is about that couple after all

Annette69 · 29/11/2017 17:50

Can’t actually believe someone has got the time to actually sit and think about this and then write a post about it???

Lweji · 29/11/2017 17:52

I suppose it could have been worse. Imagine if they had decided to marry three weeks before his big brother.

PolarBearkshire · 29/11/2017 17:52

She will cope. She has many helpers , family ,etc. Also I cant imagine William getting off his face drunk like neighbour builder Bill 😂😂. But ultimately - who cares???

tootruetoyou · 29/11/2017 17:59

They are all a crowd of over privileged, lucky people and if this is the worst of their problems then they have nothing to worry about. Do you really care? Invest your energy in a more worthy cause.

Sometimes I despair of the human race. This is one of those times

KEB123 · 29/11/2017 18:15

Ooooh, well spotted!!

Boffin90 · 29/11/2017 18:21

I don’t think people should plan their wedding around other people. It’s their day and people can either like it or lump it.

What difference does it make baby bump or not.
Vanity, vanity, vanity!

LizzieSiddal · 29/11/2017 18:22

St George’s is very small

It seats over 800 people Grin

Carriecakes80 · 29/11/2017 18:35

I really couldn't give a shite!

The Royals stopped being of any importance decades ago IMO, And I reckon Shreks Adventure bollocks in London brings in more revenue than them.

CharisMama · 29/11/2017 18:35

I am not overly invested but I wouldn't be surprised if it's brought forward to somewhere between 3rd week in Jan and end of feb.

The wait seems unnecessary for many reasons. ARe they waiting for a slot at a hotel they can afford Confused
