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

I like that too Bertrand there's something quite elegant about that phrase!

Its a miracle that she could bring herself to sleep with William in the first place. Hes very unattractive. For all the money in the world I still dont know how she managed it.

Maybe he wears a crown in bed...

GabsAlot · 23/04/2018 15:19

kay i mean not the duchess

Tara336 · 23/04/2018 15:19

I had to switch on just to see why Kay Burley needs a show lobbed at her head. God what an irritating woman! Just the one shoe? I think a couple more just to be sure she shuts up, how can someone talk so much bollcks?

Wouldn't it be fab is she steps out up looking something like this??

My skinny sister as well as her equally skinny friend were walking out of hospital within 5 hours of their second babies births (5 days apart, not together!), both looked amazing and would have held up well to scores of photographers on the steps of the hospital! . They both had relatively short labours, babies under 7lbs and small bumps.

I, on the other hand, had 3 babies by EMCS so wasn't walking anywhere anyway, each baby weighed around 10.5lbs and my 'bump'measured 50" round just before birth!! First time I got upright after baby 1, all my post birth bleeding decided to come out all at once, all over the floor, midwives shoes and my lovely new fluffy slippers Sad .

How does a shapeshifter give birth anyhow? Don’t they lay eggs? Let’s face it, she didn’t look like she was carrying an 8 and a half pounder...

Jus’ sayin’ Wink

biscuitraider · 23/04/2018 15:36

I don't think William or Kate are good looking. Not that it matters, but people keep saying Kates stunning but i can't see it myself. Long faced and thin lipped but luckily for her has all the benefits that money can buy. William has not aged well, no hair extensions for him..Oh well, we can't have it all.

DeathDestroyerOfWorlds · 23/04/2018 15:38

I think because she is tall, the baby tends to be tucked in deep in the pelvis so she didnt have much of a bump, me on the other hand, at 5ft 3in and carrying a 9 lb-er, looked like an inflatable blimp Blush

biscuitraider · 23/04/2018 15:39

sid you mean she didn't really give birth? Grin

patstar · 23/04/2018 15:41

She is so annoying - glad I am not the only person to think that. She talks over people and doesn't always make eye contact with people she is talking too

LostMyBaubles · 23/04/2018 15:42

Maybe he wears a crown in bed 😂

RoseWhiteTips · 23/04/2018 15:43

Kate is by any normal definition pretty stunning. William is fine.

Hmm
LakieLady · 23/04/2018 15:44

Another drain on the taxpayer, eh? Why do these people keep on having children they expect the rest of us to pay for?

I certainly hope they don't get any extra for having had a 3rd. No-one else does.

RoseWhiteTips · 23/04/2018 15:44

Oh wait - maybe Kate should get some inflatable lips done. Lol

The80sweregreat · 23/04/2018 15:47

William used to be nice, but his lost his looks i think and i wouldnt look twice at him ( if he were an ordinary bod in the street)
. Kate isn't bad, she has nice skin and glossy hair and photographs well, she certainly isn;t ugly and , going by her mum, she will age well as she's looked after herself and not had any vices at all ( i imagine she hasn't) Charlotte is the image of Great Granma the Queen and George looks a bit like Kate's dad. Not that i have ever met these people and never will.

Lovestonap · 23/04/2018 15:49

I could definitely have got up to say hello to the press......as long as someone else walked behind me holding my catheter bag........birth was not exactly straightforward!

I understand them wanting to get the hell out of hospital though!

BertrandRussell · 23/04/2018 15:51

William was very good looking for about half an hour in about 2002........

biscuitraider · 23/04/2018 15:52

Kate is by any normal definition pretty stunning. William is fine.
In your opinion, many don't agree.

RoseWhiteTips · 23/04/2018 15:52

Most do.

peacheachpearplum · 23/04/2018 15:53

I imagine she has good pain killers. I had horrible stitches after No 1 and wasn't worried about the birth but terrified of an episiotomy and stitches, I had a home birth and my GP was begging my forgiveness as he cut me because he promised me he wouldn't if at all possible. When it came to the stitches it was a breeze, he pumped in so much local that I didn't feel a thing for 24 hrs. For those 24 hrs I had no problem sitting standing or walking, when the anaesthetic wore off I had a sudden reality check.

LaurieMarlow · 23/04/2018 15:56

Wills was a good looking teenager. However it's been downhill since then; he isn't aging well.

Kate's stunning, by most people's standards. The personal hairdresser must help though.

She appears to be pretty good at giving birth which is a useful skill for a princess.

userabcname · 23/04/2018 15:56

Haha @DeathDestroyerOfWorlds - I was the same! Your description made me laugh!

The80sweregreat · 23/04/2018 15:57

i do agree that if she came out looking a bit more normal then it would give the impression ' yes, childbirth is hard going and we dont all look wonderful afterwards' - all this looking good piles on the pressure for women to look wonderful all the time, but she is between a rock and a hard place as they say.

biscuitraider · 23/04/2018 15:58

Does this mean another highly trained police officer will be taken off meaningful police work for babysitting duties. Nice to see our taxes going to something so important.
