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.

I think they will have spoken to the whole of the royal family and fitted it in accordingly.

I also think it’s nothing to do with you.

Won't it be a bit awkward when you meet up if you don't get on with Harry's fiancee? Grin The likelihood of this is infinitesimal.

Lweji · 29/11/2017 21:11

I think they should design the whole buffet around what is safe for Poor Kate

She could always borrow a few tupperware boxes off GMIL and take her own food.
I bet she never thought of doing that.

Addictedtothisbloodyforum · 29/11/2017 21:15

Holy fuck op why would she need a special room to breastfeed and she won't be the first breastfeeding woman to attend a wedding ! Jeeeeezas stop with all this shit !! They are just normal people after all !!

ColonelJackONeil · 29/11/2017 21:17

So poor Kate has to bring her own food now! And you wonder why we call her the Cinderella of the Windsor family.

GriefLeavesItsMark · 29/11/2017 21:23

Yes, but she would have someone to carry it for her.

And I am sure they will supply plates and cutlery.

PrinceGeorgeTheCutest · 29/11/2017 21:25

If I have to carry it, I WILL lick it

Zena1973 · 29/11/2017 21:26

Who actually cares!
I can’t believe anyone would care that much about total strangers! Do you really think Kate is pacing up and down her red carpet anxious about how it’s not about her needs but about THE PEOPLE Actually GETTING MARRIED!!

Booie09 · 29/11/2017 21:26

What's it got to do with Kate?? It's not her wedding and she's only having a baby ffs!

paxillin · 29/11/2017 21:27

And your DSis will eat it, @PrinceGeorgeTheCutest.

PrinceGeorgeTheCutest · 29/11/2017 21:29

And your DSis will eat it
Man she totally would. She's always pinching my quinoa! !!!!!

howrudeforme · 29/11/2017 21:32

Meh, I feel sorry for Kate as she married heir to the throne, she’s sort of morphed into Diana ie super skinny, elocution lessons etc. Mehgan seems happy the way she is, older, professional, confident and I doubt the establishment will pressure her into uk royal voice training.

GriefLeavesItsMark · 29/11/2017 21:33

But not ANY baby such as the likes of me and you would have. It's a ROYAL baby.

Applesandpairsonthestairs · 29/11/2017 21:33
Hmm
C0untDucku1a · 29/11/2017 21:36

I just mentioned to my husband that the queen might not attend the wedding, according to an article i read. He said, ‘why? Is she babysitting?’ Grin

Lweji · 29/11/2017 21:51

What kind of grandmother would miss her grandchild's wedding?
Maybe she could abdicate in time to make it to the wedding, if the Queen attending was an issue.

Blueskyrain · 29/11/2017 22:38

Holy fuck op why would she need a special room to breastfeed and she won't be the first breastfeeding woman to attend a wedding !,

Because breastfeeding with the entire world's paparazzi around trying to get a shot of your nipple, is very low stress...

ColonelJackONeil · 29/11/2017 22:39

Oh no now I'm starting to get worried about The Queen. I thought they were having it at Windsor so she could just walk over.

starlight13 · 29/11/2017 22:48

If your post isn't a joke OP, it should be. Who cares?
Do you seriously think that Catherine or any of them do anything for themselves? They don't have or even understand these basic concerns. I do hear that it's a May wedding though, so don't worry, Catherine will just bundle the baby over to the 'help' as she has always done with the other two and she'll try her best I'm sure to 'enjoy herself'.

Ignoranceandapathy · 29/11/2017 22:56

ColonelJackOneill: 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?

Kate was probably jealous. A few years ago, whilst perusing weighty reading matter at the hairdressers, I read that Harry would often pop in and visit W & K, and Kate would roast a chicken for him as a treat and a touch of "real home cooking". She's probably all upset at being displaced.

Then again, if Harry cooked the chicken, Kate might take responsibility and be chuffed that she has taught him a useful skill.

Kate, hun, if you are worried about breastfeeding during the reception, post on Style and Beauty here and we'll find you the perfect breastfeeding friendly press repellent dress.

Eveforever · 29/11/2017 23:16

Kate is one of the most privileged people in the world. You're suggesting it is a bit harsh for Meghan and Harry not put her first when planning the most important day in their lives. I quite like Kate, but the world doesn't revolve around her. I also agree that a royal wedding requires a massive amount of planning and the date might not even be within Meghan and Harry's control. It sounds like you don't like Meghan much, or maybe you like Kate too much?

KateMiddletonsOtherMum · 29/11/2017 23:34

I'll supply the plates and cutlery. I'll give the Happy Couple a good discount!

PrinceGeorgeTheCutest · 29/11/2017 23:36

As I told the baby sis, it revolves around ME. I'm totally down for a May wedding
