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.

Also how did KATE feel about them having this roast chicken. Isn't it a bit unfair on her when she has to be careful what she eats during her pregnancy. Did they even think about her feelings on the matter?

ReginaFlange · 29/11/2017 19:21

What the actual fuck.

HotNatured · 29/11/2017 19:25

Jesus Christ is this thread for real Hmm

OP go for a walk or something, you really have way too much time on your hands

GriefLeavesItsMark · 29/11/2017 19:34

I'm thinking she could wear a smart trouser suit with a dressy blouse. Versatile, practical, and could be worn again

Well, a 'BIL due to wed either a month before or after my due date - how do I cope?' would get answered with "guestzilla, go or don't, not your day".

Lovingit81 · 29/11/2017 20:21

Your majesty, it's very nice if you to comment on a mumsnet thread but ..... don't the corgies need feeding.

MummaDevon · 29/11/2017 20:29
  1. All royal weddings are pretty quick.
  2. You can drink and breastfeed.
  3. You don’t need a private room to breastfeed.
  4. You can wear nice dresses - and there are plenty out there, especially with a royal budget - in which you can breastfeed.
  5. Stop wasting your headspace feeling sorry for a royal princess. It’s not like she’s going to be on her own, struggling with two kids while pregnant. She has staff.
  6. Get a hobby. Seriously.

Surely the chicken will be a bleached chlorinated one, imported especially from Dallas.

VanillaSugar · 29/11/2017 20:39

I'm worried about the raw egg white now, which will be used in the royal icing. Kate will definitely have an excuse to have her cake but not eat it.

ColonelJackONeil · 29/11/2017 20:40

That is a worry Vanilla I think they should make an alternative safe cake for Kate to not eat.

ChristinaParsons · 29/11/2017 20:41

Well as a friend of mine said. Until they announce we are getting a day off for the wedding. No fucks given

RoseWhiteTips · 29/11/2017 20:42

This is a lighthearted thread, no?!

VanillaSugar · 29/11/2017 20:43

@coloneljackoneil Thank you for your support with regard to this concern. I suspect other people will not be as caring.

VanillaSugar · 29/11/2017 20:44

No @rosewhitetips Deadly serious here.

Turquoise123 · 29/11/2017 20:44

They are adults and will cope. Nothing to do with us .

GriefLeavesItsMark · 29/11/2017 20:45

Can she eat cheese? I am concerned that the mini quiche might be dangerous.

ColonelJackONeil · 29/11/2017 20:46

Some people don't seem to care about poor Kate. Good job she has us to think about these things for her.

Cheese is OK if it's cooked. But unpasteurized sheep's cheese is a no no. So the Manchengo and chorizo on a cocktail stick is out. Dairylee triangles should be ok though.

ColonelJackONeil · 29/11/2017 20:48

I think they should design the whole buffet around what is safe for Poor Kate and then she can not eat anything she wants. It's only fair.

GriefLeavesItsMark · 29/11/2017 20:50

Rightrosetips, I hardly think this is a joking matter!

iamyourequal · 29/11/2017 20:56

Yeah OP I really really feel for Kate. Doesn't she just have a terrible time of it..life must be soo tough for her.. .😂

derxa · 29/11/2017 21:01

I like Kate and William and Harry. Meghan not so much.

Geordie1944 · 29/11/2017 21:03

OP: have you ever considered that you might not have enough to do with your time? If you have time to fill your head with trivial nonsense of this sort then this seems to me quite possible.

ColonelJackONeil · 29/11/2017 21:03

I like Kate and William and Harry. Meghan not so much

Won't it be a bit awkward when you meet up if you don't get on with Harry's fiancee?
