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 swear this thread is turning into the equivalent of a bunch of dotty old ladies sat together having 3 different conversations...

I reckon she's pregnant Doris, who Kate? No, Meghan, No, the one with bum at the wedding, you know the one that married that rich fella

oh Elsie, not that one, It's er sister, the sicky one, some say her nose is right out of joint over the wedding just as the baby's due

well that's ridiculous Gertie, if I was her I'd be on the raspberry leaf curry, she don't want to miss a knees up

and what about the brother Doris, do you reckon he'll be there with that northern bird

and on and on. I had a lot of Maiden Aunts when I was growing up.

Maybe they'll get the Middletons to provide the party stationery for free. And don't invite them. Halo

But then they'd be CFs Grin

The announcement of the wedding was timed by the Government to distract attention from the news that the UK will PAY to leave the EU with less than nothing in return, let alone the £350m for the NHS a week people were pormised. Go whistle for that. The royal wedding will happen to distract attention from being a year away from leaving the EU. I predict the royal baby will arrive around 29 March 2019 - guess what, to distract attention from the greatest disaster in our recent history. Forget Kate, things move on.

Which royal baby is coming march 2019? Kate's 4th or Meghans 1st?

ArseSpud · 01/12/2017 06:59

Why has no one pointed out that the timings of the royal births give these children an unfair disadvantage through school? Especially George with a July birthday so he's almost a year behind some classmates. Maybe Kate had finally twigged which is why she's going July, May, April... still all "late" babies though, as the DofEducation would say.

Not read full thread but you're all in the daily fail today.

What? Really? I'm so glad you didn't provide the link!

LouPeru · 01/12/2017 07:13

Katemiddletons - not sure if you're being sarky or not :-) didn't think people would appreciate sending more traffic to it

LouPeru · 01/12/2017 07:16

Also they have named OP so be careful what else you post OP!

ButchyRestingFace · 01/12/2017 07:16

Link or it didn’t happen. Grin

LouPeru · 01/12/2017 07:18

No you're going to get me in trouble! 😂

KateMiddletonsOtherMum · 01/12/2017 07:32

No, i wasn't being sarky as linking gets a flaming.

LouPeru · 01/12/2017 07:38

Thought so! Can't believe they'd be so desperate for news that this qualifies! If that's how easy it is to call yourself a journalist, sign me up!

What on earth could she post that is more ridiculous than this?

Abbylee · 01/12/2017 08:18

I think that it is just the beginning of Catherine being pushed out.. Even if Harry notices, he is so in love it will not matter. Notice the interview (H: she can do anything. MM: thank you.) MM is not humble or trying to be. She is happily being adored which is normal in young 20s but 36? That's a warning.

Catherine is about to be pushed into a corner by a pro. My sis did the same thing; my mother and I happily welcomed her into the family and within a few years, we were both "cruel and selfish" (?!) And her feelings were ruling our lives. Now my brother and I are estranged with no hope of reconciliation bc of the sil stirs the pot.

Even MM's friends say that she "has sharp elbows." I don't think we are overinvested, but we are fond of Catherine and recognize troubles sadly ahead. (I also thought that the bun may already be rising)
