To think it's unfair on HRH Catherine

[InLoveWithLizML]

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.

She probably doesn't care (Kate)

Well OP it's strongly rumoured that bit will be at Windsor church as was Peter Phillips and Autumns (a fellow 'foreigner') wedding so there is president.

Also rumoured to be before her due date.

Announcement in a couple of hours.

*They had to announce it when they did.

Needed some ‘happy’ royal news to distract from the queens creative tax haven useage.*

Yup, and I'm sure it's no coincidence that a Spring wedding will be a nice distraction from Brexit...

Seriously, OP, of all the things in the world to give a shit about, you choose THIS?!

When my db got married, I attended at 36 weeks pregnant, stayed all day until evening and was fine. The great thing with a big bump is everyone offered me their chair to sit down (though I guess the royal wedding there will be plenty of chairs for kate to sit down)

And on the flip.... when I got married my sil had just given birth 8 weeks prior and traveled from abroad to be there.... she didnt have a royal budget though for a nanny and what not but managed and enjoyed the day (then spent a few extra days visiting other family in the area)

I am pretty sure whether the wedding is while she is pregnant or post partum then she will be absolutely fine and dandy!

I love these threads - all the competitive 'insider' information and concern from people who the royals wouldn't give a rats arse about.

I neither know anything or care, but I have a feeling Kate/Catherine will cope just fine.

Yeah I feel so sorry for Kate, she must be so rushed off her feet she has such a hard life.. poor Kate, wouldn’t want to be in her shoes!

It's very annoying that so many people are keen to imagine conflict between Kate and Meghan. Maybe they get on really well and have bonded over the pressure of living your life in the public eye! Maybe they get on well enough like lots of sisters in law. Disappointing that a social relationship between women is most easily imagined in terms of rivalry.

It's in April? Bet they pick the day my baby is due, selfish thunder stealing bastards

I bet Will & Kate steal your name for their DC too. .

You can have a drink when you're breastfeeding.

When my db got married, I attended at 36 weeks pregnant, stayed all day until evening and was fine.

I went to a wedding at 38 weeks, in a very very posh London hotel.

You can have a drink when you're breastfeeding.

The whole of the press would be after Kate I've no doubt if she even sniffed some champers while breastfeeding. It's okay for normal people though

Hilarious. This is a joke, right?

This is bonkers. Firstly for being so overinvested in strangers who really don't care what the person in the street thinks. And secondly for assuming that everyone sees someone else's wedding or baby as a competition. It's an alien concept to me. If everyone put their wedding off every time a relative or friend announced their pregnancy no one would ever be able to get married.

Are we talking about the same kate who appeared on the hospital steps in a white skirt about three days after giving birth?

In fact wasn't it the next day? In heels

It was the same day with Charlotte.

Never mind the wedding, what about the hen do? I don’t know what US traditions are, but Kate could be just the person to initiate Meghan into the great British ways of the angel wings, plastic crown and wine -splattered Hens On Tour T-shirt.

Oh, and alcohol and BF: I was back to drinking pre-pregnancy levels within a few weeks of birth. Obviously drinking enough to get wobbly or forgetful is a bad idea; but that’s not a ‘BF thing’ or even a ‘mum thing’ - it’s a parent thing.

Who calls her Catherine? It seems terribly obsequious on here.

What a petty little mind you have.

I'm sure the Dichess of Cambridge will manage, whatever happens.

I very much doubt that Harry and Meghan had much say over when the wedding will be.

Her dad actually. Never discussed her with her mum she was too busy cooing over my dog

I'm sure she's not the first, nor the last, to be pregnant at a sibling, or sibling-in-laws wedding.

The big question is will there be a baby shower? Or even better, a gender reveal party?

I'm sure the Windsors have got the situation all sorted

Nice one OP.

Are you Hyacinth Bucket?

It gave me a laugh anyway.

Hope your musings have filled in a little time for you 😂

I think she'll probably be okay but just in case why don't you phone up Buckingham Palace and share your concerns. I'm sure they'll appreciate it. Here's the phone number for you: 0303 123 7300.

Oh, and do let us know what they say...
