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.

Maybe it is her wedding..

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 28/11/2017 08:48

I agree, OP. I don't think it's very fair time for her and William.

BarbaraofSevillle · 28/11/2017 08:48

I think you're over thinking and over invested

^^ This.

Although it would make a cracking AIBU from Princess Kate

AIBU to be pissed off that BIL is getting married just weeks after DC3 is due?

DH will be the best man so will be wanting to go off on a stag do when I'm at home with a newborn and then he'll end up getting pissed at the wedding and I'll have to cope with all the DCs on my own and be breastfeeding so won't even be able to have a drink.

Plus we are rather, um high profile, so everyone will be scrutinising the wedding photos to see if I've still got my baby weight. AIBU not to want to go and just stay at home snuggling the newborn instead? DH can take the older two and do some parenting instead of getting pissed.

All I'm concerned about is whether we get a day off.
Can't wait to see Meghan's dress though.

PollyPerky · 28/11/2017 08:50

Eh?

They have already speculated that the wedding will come after the birth of Will and Kate's baby.

Already been said that there are no plans for it.

WhatToDoAboutThis2017 · 28/11/2017 08:50

Who fucking cares about royal families and weddings etc. Why are people so over invested? I think they are just covering up issues in their own lives.

If you don't care about the royal family, why click on, read and reply to a thread about the royal family?

And if you think people have issues in their lives, what does it say about you who, despite knowing she gets so angry over royal threads, still opens, reads and replies to them to tell everyone else they have issues?

I think the only one covering here is you.

WorraLiberty · 28/11/2017 08:52

I think we need to start ordering these threads from the most crazy and over invested, to the most banal and boring.

I'd say this one is a strong contender for 'Most over invested of the week'.

NataliaOsipova · 28/11/2017 08:52

Sad Can we start a petition or something? I'd love a bank holiday! I'm old (and sad) enough that I remember having a Royal Wedding Party with some friends when Andrew got married.....I'd love to do that for my DC.

(This is definitely a sign that I'm turning into a bonkers old lady, isn't it?!)

PollyPerky · 28/11/2017 08:52

Kindly, OP, you are bonkers.

You are also rather naive. My engagement was 12 weeks. It had to fit with work. I was not up the duff.

You are projecting your own suburban, small minded values on this family. (And you spelling and grammar are quite ropey, by the way.)

AliceWhatsth3Matter · 28/11/2017 08:53

It's a dilemma isn't it op? Privacy for breastfeeding. Perhaps she can sit in the loos and feed her baby, all village halls have loos.

MargaretCavendish · 28/11/2017 08:55

Ah, the inevitable irony that always occurs when being sniffy about someone else's grammar...

InLoveWithLizML · 28/11/2017 08:55

HG can return later in pregnancy, not to mention fatigue and generally not feeling right. In past pregnancies it has been rare to see Catherine in her last trimester.

I swear I've heard or read before that surely they'd wait till all was settled with new baby. Maybe not. (Obviously not)

I'm not Catherine, I'm not over invested, just thinking. I'm sure William Hanson has a take on it all.

Iloveacurry · 28/11/2017 08:55

I think she’ll be fine. It’s not like she’s got to run around after two small kids as well ...

InLoveWithLizML · 28/11/2017 08:55

Plus I can so see Prince Charles doing the conga Grin

alice Grin

She's going to want to chose something dark to wear as well, with the two older kids all round her ankles all day and a meal to get through somehow. I hope someone can hold the baby while she shifts the highchairs Grin

ZaraW · 28/11/2017 08:55

You are very concerned about people you don't know.....

EdmundCleverClogs · 28/11/2017 08:56

You do realise Willz and K-Mids lives (along with the rest of them lot) is not your personal soap opera, or actual any of your business, right? The amount of people over invested in this family is equally sad and scary, especially ones who put their own narratives on their lives about ‘how x will be feeling’ and ‘y won’t be happy’. Utterly bizarre behaviour.

InLoveWithLizML · 28/11/2017 09:00

I thought TM or the government suggested we might get a bank holiday.

I'm obviously not up to date with the latest gossip as I didn't know a date was set.

No they have said there are no plans for one.

It's being announced today.

Creambun2 · 28/11/2017 09:05

what is all this crap about bank holidays? there wasn't one for Andrew/Edward etc.

coffeclub · 28/11/2017 09:06

'Already been said that there are no plans for it.'

Bah.

coffeclub · 28/11/2017 09:06

Yes but everyone likes Harry.
