....asks someone to remove Kay Burley or at least lob a shoe at her head from her labour suite?

YANBU.

YANBU.

Maybe one of the stiletto heels Kate will be expected to wear when she stands on the steps of the Lindo wing to be photographed by the world’s media when her vajajay is probably full of stitches.

YANBU she is awful

Yorkshirebetty · 23/04/2018 12:57

LoveInTokyo so true. Kate probably just wants to have her hair in a ponytail, put on her trackies and go home to bed. Instead there's the full on make up and blow dry, silk dress and nude high heels.

Tink2007 · 23/04/2018 12:58

I think it’s awful how there is a whole crowd each time the poor woman has a baby. I cannot think of anything worse.

Just a whole host of people waiting for you to give birth. It makes me shudder.

My favourite Kay moment ever was when Kate was in labour with George and someone standing near her said “the baby’s been born (it hadn’t) and it’s black!”

Her eyes nearly popped out of her head but you could see the wheels turning as she debated whether or not to repeat it or ask him how he knew Grin

Tink2007 · 23/04/2018 12:59

LoveInTokyo and YorkshireBetty I couldn’t agree more. I left hospital in my slippers after my second child!

Kate Middleton knew what she was getting into by marrying into the royal family. YABU.

tattychicken · 23/04/2018 13:03

When I've seen her post birth, having to stand there in her pretty dress, I just think of the blood. She must be terrified of a gush of blood and leaking on her dress or running down her legs. Or maybe I was just very messy!

TSSDNCOP · 23/04/2018 13:04

Helen true, although I don’t think anything could quite prepare you for the awfulness that is Kay Burley.

TSSDNCOP · 23/04/2018 13:04

It’s a boy!!

lovehak · 23/04/2018 13:05

it's her third child who cares it's all about Megan

Viviennemary · 23/04/2018 13:06

No sympathy here I'm afraid. They'd have a lot more to worry about if nobody took any notice of them.

mandieleeinatree · 23/04/2018 13:07

IT'S A BOY!

Woo hoo.

Congratulations KATE AND WILLS!

19lottie82 · 23/04/2018 13:09

Hooray! Grin

CocoaGin · 23/04/2018 13:09

I think the Queen should decree "Orf with her head". She's beyond irritating and a terrible presenter. How is she even employed Grin

Tink2007 · 23/04/2018 13:11

Many congratulations to them!

Now can we lob a shoe at Kay Burley?

I'm gobsmacked the Daily Mail think this is good news. Theyre usually up in arms about families of immigrants sponging off the taxpayer having children to sponge even further.

Slightly off topic I know but I only had the one DC light of my life and had to have a planned c section due to pre eclampsia and my age but I am always totally amazed how the royal wives miraculously appear on the hospital steps, looking fantastic, within hours of them giving birth.

Everything always seems so straightforward, no emergency c section, difficult deliveries etc. Just how? 🤔

Ok I know they have oodles of money and the finest medical care but surely that can't buy a totally issue free delivery every time.

Would love to know what you ladies who had natural deliveries think. Would you have been able to stroll outside, holding new baby, within about 5 hours of delivery?

AnnieAnoniMouser · 23/04/2018 13:18

Lovely news! 💐

I was clearly, without realising it, expecting it to be a girl as the news it’s a boy surprised me, God knows why?!

I wonder what they’ll call the wee chap?

I understand that she she knew what she was getting into, marrying into the royal family, but holy fuck...not even the royal family should have to have KB forced on them.

I'd pay money to see Kate lob a shoe at Kay Burley.

DC's birth was fine, but delightful piles meant I couldn't stand up straight to walk until the next day - I was just so sore!

On the plus side, I could get back into my pre-pregnancy by the next day so I guess I could've held a press call then, although high heels might've been pushing it!
