To think that RF looked disinterested?

When the couple were making their vows - heads firmly in programmes

Mean-spirited bunch on here.
Saying that Kate didn't look up once is not true.
There wasn't a split-screen showing everyone's face for every second of the service.
Wish I was a mind reader as you all seem to be.

I know Kates’s very thrifty but with all that money I found it Hmm she recycled an outfit for the wedding. It’s not just any occasion or wedding is it. She just could not be arsed and didn’t cared if it showed either!

HasAnyoneGotAProblemWithThat · 20/05/2018 19:11

Rubbish. She wore that outfit so as not to outshine the bride. She looked perfect.

cdtaylornats · 20/05/2018 19:41

Perhaps they were praying

midnightmisssuki · 20/05/2018 19:50

I really don’t think the royals care about what you think OP....... what are you insinuating? Maybe they were all just looking solemn because you know - it’s a serious thing, wedding and all. Have you ever been to a wedding? Did people break out in laughs/smiles at random points? I think This is a mean spirited thread that’s trying to find fault with the RF over nothing. Confused

how many people would invite an ex to their wedding?

DH and I are really good friends with the guy I dated for a few years before I met DH. He and his then GF came to our wedding and we went to theirs a few years later.

Gardentour2016 · 20/05/2018 19:52

My guess is that Kate was trying not to cry and didn’t want that on camera. She, more than anyone, knows what the bride is in for.

AlbaAlba · 20/05/2018 19:53

how many people would invite an ex to their wedding?

I invited multiple exes to my wedding, including as witnesses. They're important to me. We got on well before our relationship(s) and well after, why should I lose a good friend just because we tried to see if it would work as something else?

DH doesn't mind, in fact encourages me to spend time with them, and socialises with them alone himself. ILs could hardly complain given FIL has similar ex/friends, with whom MIL is friends too.

Hollyboobieboo · 20/05/2018 19:55

I found it odd, I never saw one image of the Queen with a smile on her face. Yet, grumpy Prince Philip managed to smile.

voddiekeepsmesane · 20/05/2018 19:58

OMG what are you people on!!! Kate looking down and bored really?? She gave birth only 27 days prior and is probably knackered. I remember my body didn't feel "right" for at least 8 weeks after birth. She has shit pregnancies with hyperemesis and I am sure her body is still just getting back to normal. While I understand some may be extremely jealous of the life she leads she is still a very hands on mum to 3 under . FFS give the woman a break

voddiekeepsmesane · 20/05/2018 19:59

3 under 5

SheGotBetteDavisEyes · 20/05/2018 20:24

There are people on this thread who have posted inane, made-up crap again and again about MM.

The wedding has happened, it went beautifully, Meghan looked incredible and they all looked so happy. The usual suspects are STILL clinging on to their little platform to spout spiteful crap at each other, making up more unhinged crap about 'how the royal family felt,' as though they have any clue whatsoever.

This mad batshittery just makes someone like MM look a thousand times more dignified by comparison.

ILoveDolly · 20/05/2018 20:30

I don't think any of us can ever guess what another is thinking, especially not someone we don't know, living vastly different lives from us, on the basis of few video clips. The smirks during the preaching are understandable, his style is much more high octane than what they're used to (so maybe embarrassing), it went on a bit (maybe uncomfortable) and was supposed to be funny in places (maybe amused). But as for any other speculation, that's PURE projection.

Teacher22 · 20/05/2018 20:55

Uninterested means not interested, disinterested means impartial as in not having an interest in the argument.

goodbyestranger · 20/05/2018 20:55

Three kids under five is absolutely nothing when one has no domestic stuff to factor in, and no work. Also, twenty seven days with a normal uncomplicated birth is ages. Also, how can a mother possibly be 'hands on' when she has a nanny for the older two and a maternity nurse for the baby?

AskAuntLydia · 20/05/2018 21:02

Also, twenty seven days with a normal uncomplicated birth is ages

For some women.

It may not be for others. You have no idea how much time other women need to recover from birth.

goodbyestranger · 20/05/2018 21:16

I have a good idea that it's going to be a heck of a lot easier if you have sfa domestic stuff to worry about and no getting up at night for feeds.

She had no complications so the body should be fine to be driven to a wedding after 27 days.

She does make quite a fuss about pregnancy though, to be fair (ie normal morning sickness in the first trimester = hg for Kate Middleton, hospitalisation, masses of fuss as though no-one had ever had morning sickness before etc etc).

LarryFreakinStylinson · 20/05/2018 21:44

Have you ever had HG goodbyestranger? If not I really don’t think you’re in position to comment. HG isn’t like morning sickness, it’s relentless and exhausting and in some cases life threatening.

cherrytrees123 · 20/05/2018 21:45

it wasn't just morning sickness, it was

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperemesis_gravidarum

Far more severe .

C8H10N4O2 · 20/05/2018 21:48

ie normal morning sickness in the first trimester = hg for Kate Middleton, hospitalisation

You have access to her medical records do you that you know it wasn't HG and the Palace released news of the pregnancy extra early, against protocol, just for the LOLs?

Don't be ridiculous.

BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou · 20/05/2018 21:48

I knew someone who had HG with her much wanted second child.....it was so bad she seriously considered abortion. It is NOT morning sickness!

biscuitraider · 20/05/2018 21:50

Well so they tell us cherrytrees123 , i'm just very cynical about most things these days. We get lied to about practically everything.

MadameFireweed · 20/05/2018 21:51

Yes! 'Disinterested' means something totally different ffs. Look it up!

DadDadDad · 20/05/2018 22:10

MadameFireweed - you need to look it up - eg further up this thread, where there are for example links to OED saying "disinterested" as synonym for "uninterested" is a widely used meaning.

MissEliza · 20/05/2018 22:30

Why are people having a go at Kate? I thought she looked happy for Harry. Anyway she gave birth less than a month ago and even under normal circumstances it takes the body a while to get back to normal. This is Mumsnet ffs! We know how hard having babies is. FWIW I lived abroad when I had my first 2 dcs. I had a full time maid and a woman who occasionally cooked for me. The first year was still a fricking nightmare. Having babies is hard. That's why we don't let men do it Wink!
