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'm sure they can console themselves with all their other luxuries.
What a strange thing to give a shit about.

Yes and what about the hen night?! How will Kate be able to fully enjoy a spa day and then drink jagerbombs on a pub crawl afterwards....

Jesus wept who gives a shit, especially if we're not getting a bank holiday which is totally unfair on us the taxpayers. Katie Mids is not the only woman to be upduffed atm !

I think it would make the wedding a whole load of fun if Kate popped the baby out on the day😂

I am finding myself addicted to the royal threads, just to see how people can be totally deluded, investing themselves into lives of people they have nothing in common and who they don't even know.
Where's the obsession with that coming from?

This can’t be real, who the hell decides their wedding date so their future sister in law can properly enjoy the day. It’s really not about her.

Obsessed with Catherine much? You’re way over invested in the lives of people you don’t and will probably never know.

It isn’t like Kate will have to be up at the crack of dawn getting C and G ready, then having to do her own hair and makeup is it?

Is there some way MN can stop Royal threads from being listed in the trending box? Hide doesn't do the trick.

I believe the 4/5 month timescales is because she is over here on a fiancée visa. Fiancée visas last 6 month.

Not really sure why Catherine should be a consideration. If she can’t make it then she can’t make it. If she can make it then great. I went to a friends wedding at 38 weeks. I had my bag ready to go in the car. I was huge but had a great time. Really not sure what the big deal on this one is.

Yeah, it's so unfair OP. I feel really bad for her tbh.

Poor Kate. She's got it tough.

Yes, I agree. How on earth is she going to find a private room somewhere to feed her baby in a 100 room palace?? Who is going to help her look after the kids when her DH is hungover from his brothers wedding?? Will Uber take a baby and a drunk bloke home afterwards or will they have to kip in the living room? I have no idea!

I got married exactly two weeks before giving birth. It was a great day and I didn't struggle. In a way it was good I was pregnant and didn't drink or I'd definitely have been the boozy bride!! Also I doubt Catherine is making it about her! It's their wedding presumably she'll go along with what they want!

Honestly, the fact that this shit gets wall-to-wall coverage while more people than ever before turn to foodbanks is NOT a coincidence. There's a problem with this whole fucking circus, and it's a lot bigger than Kate's baby bump.

Jeez, I got married at 8 months pregnant with ds2. I managed just fine despite still suffering with awful sickness and swelling so I think Kate will be fine!

1. The date is allegedly a month before her due date

Which is exactly when my DS arrived - if that happens to Kate, it won't be Meghan stealing her thunder Grin

Do people really think that if Harry and Meghan didnt get engaged then poverty and foodbanks would be hitting the front pages?
This gov doesnt give a crap about poverty or the sick or disabled. Having a bit of happy news is lovely it doesnt change the crap but then it doesnt have any relation to all the crap anyway so why would it?

I thought this as well. The date hasn't been announced and we don't know exactly when Kate is due, only that it's April. They may get married late May or early April. i cant believe all the incredibly bitchy remarks. Wow, there are some bitter people on MN. I am not an avid royalist but William and Harry actually seem like really great young men who are trying hard within the confines of their lives to do good. Would anyone want to swap lives with them or their wives ? I don't think so. Money does not make up for living in a goldfish bowl with no privacy and being bitched about 24/7.

Hehe! I'm going to hazard a guess that Harry and Meg don't get to decide when they get married Grin.

H: Shall we get married?
M: Ah g'wan, why not?
H: Cool beans.
