I don't normally criticise the royals but...

... another day of Kate and William away from their tiny baby for a substantial amount of time.

I just don't understand it, when they were this small I couldn't bear to be apart from them.

Now getting my hard hat 👩‍🚒👷‍♀️😬

TBH their jobs requires much less time away from the children than most working parents so her children have spent most of their time with her and William. We also have no idea how long she has actually spent away from him, he could be behind the scenes for all we know.

I would have no issue with leaving my small baby with a trusted nanny for the day. How lovely to have the choice to go out and know they are being well cared for.

DH & I left our first baby to go on a date when he was 10 days old. I was having a difficult time and we needed a break - it did us a world of good and his grandparents took very good care of him. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. You have no idea the circumstances, so yabvu.

The baby wasn't necessarily back at home. He could have been at the Palace, and he also could have been at the polo, tucked away somewhere.

@Livingsymbol I agree entirely; that look she gave when her veil was lifted at the wedding was pure, pre-rehearsed soap opera. I didn't think the Royal Family and the Queen could be so naive as to be taken in by that fake.

Oh FFS. Is it necessary to have a go at Meghan even if the thread isn't about her?

It's been really hot weather pretty much since they had the baby, so perhaps they don't want to drag him out in the heat when there's a perfectly good alternative of leaving him with a nanny in a cool safe place. They clearly love their children and are good parents. It's not a bad thing to leave them for a few hours and enjoy themselves.

Maybe the polo had been planned a long time in advance? Maybe they fancied an adult only day?

Well George and Charlotte are at school & nursery all week. Perhaps Kate just wanted to spend time with her 2 eldest, as she has the (eating, sleeping) baby all week. —With the help of a full time nanny—

She was spending time with her other two DC. If I could have afforded a nanny with three young DC, I certainly would have jumped at the chance of some time with the older children without a baby.

The photos, taken by a pap, may cover a few minutes only for all we know. Maybe the baby was napping? Or being walked around by someone, or having his nappy changed?

Lol people are so obsessed with slagging off Meghan, must be exhausting to be such a negative nelly...

Judge judge judgy judgy judge judge. Honestly, when will women stop tearing other women down for their choices?

I went back to work when dc1 was 6 weeks old. He seems to have grown up pretty much unscarred.
I'm sure the new baby can cope being looked after by a nanny for 3 or 4 hours.

Honestly, this is pathetic.

Thank you to Livingsymbol for the Meghan dig, how would we cope without them on a daily basis? PS the word is cue not queue

Another woman bashing thread. Have you really nothing better to discuss? Perhaps you should start looking for a life!

Judge, judge, judge.

There is always a mother ready to judge another mother.

If I was her I'd have gone in a fucking huge RV and left baby and nanny to snooze in air con comfort....

It was a few hours, get over it.

I'd hate to leave my newborn, but it's not my life and I've no idea what being in the RF is like, but I sure as shit wouldn't choose that life, it is not my idea of a good one-- however rich.

Awk bore off 🙄 I went out for a meal with my work colleagues when my daughter was 2 weeks old (around 6 hours) and went for a spa day when she was 4 weeks old (it was my birthday and hubby set it up for me) all this mum shaming for daring to part with their babies needs to stop!

I don’t think they are.

She should be more natural

Basically a load of bashing from the over clingy, "I can't ever leave my baby", bubble wrap parents.

Just because you're too dependent on not comfortable to leave you're child, doesn't mean it's wrong for others to do it!

I went away overnight (event committed to more than a year beforehand) when DD was about 8 weeks. I obviously didn't love her as much as other, better new mums.

But she's now 10yo and we love each other more than the world, so I feel as though I've redeemed myself.

Don’t judge others - I am sure the baby is getting well looked after while the older children are getting some mum time ! We all need a break sometimes so try not to criticise especially when you don’t know what goes on in the minds of others
