Let's hope it was secretly and not to upstage poor Eugenie!

Funny. The most famous and well-regarded British linguist and grammar expert doesn’t agree with you.

But hey, nice try R

BrightonGallery7 · 15/10/2018 20:39

Bet you did some frantic wiki-ing!

BrightonGallery7 · 15/10/2018 20:40

I can just imagine it, tattoos and piercings jangling with indignation!!

LeftRightCentre · 15/10/2018 20:41

Who gives a fuck? Bunch of over-blown, over-privileged spongers on the public purse.

Onecutefox · 15/10/2018 20:50

Do you really believe everything they write in the press? Jesus, they obviously have known about it for quite a while. There were even articles a month or two ago ago about Doria taking "baby-sitting" lessons.
Meghan can't bloody win.

The first thing I read this morning simply said that the senior royals were able to congratulate them in person at the wedding

Yes this is what I read this morning too...the headline was very misleading but further down in one of the articles this was mentioned.

Congratulations to both Harry and Meghan on their happy news.

Wheelerdeeler · 15/10/2018 21:10

I'd bet my house that the main family all knew before the wedding. The queen and Charles would have known for weeks. I'm pretty certain Eugenie knew before the wedding.

Just because it's been reported, does not mean it's true

Ivgotasecretcanyoukeepit · 15/10/2018 21:13

Despicable behaviour to do something like this really.

Say what you like but this is a really mean thing to do and imo shows what she's really like as a person

Bad form. But I would expect that from her

Wow. She is a nasty piece of work. I used to like her until she pulled this stunt. What a cow

The best quotes of the thread 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

MartaTam · 15/10/2018 21:20

Brighton -You're sounding more and more unwell with each post.

altiara · 15/10/2018 21:24

I think Harry got up and toasted himself shouting “it’s not just big willy that can have kids, I can too! # hotinthesack” then moonwalked to the bar.

Cuddlykitten123 · 15/10/2018 21:28

I just assumed they'd had to announce before it was leaked!
You know like that one person at an event who offers you wine and then loudly yells 'your not pregnant are You!?' When you try to say no....

MartaTam · 15/10/2018 21:35

@Altiara #hotinthesack #Brownchocolate Wink. I think it was exactly that. Smile

OnceUponATimeInAmerica · 15/10/2018 21:42

I delayed my wedding for my older brother to get married first, as we got engaged within days of each other. By the time I got married his wife was pregnant and I found out on my own wedding day, when she was my bridesmaid. I was nothing but delighted for them both.

I think Spudlet had it right at the top of this thread. A lot of people on this thread should be ashamed of themselves.

*did finger guns, THEN moonwalked to the bar Grin

BanginChoons · 15/10/2018 22:20

Why did they announce on baby and infant loss remembrance day?

SpitefulMidLifeAnimal · 15/10/2018 22:23

I'm imagining it went like this:

HM: Ooh, glass of champers Megs?
MM: No thanks, I'll stick to water
DofE: No champers? Good God woman, are you up the duff?

SerenDippitty · 15/10/2018 22:32

I think, in general, that it is bad manners to use someone else’s celebration to announce really momentous news like a pregnancy, which rather trumps everything else doesn’t it, especially a first one. But having said that Meghan was in a no win situation really.

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 15/10/2018 23:00

Oh so if Pippa is in labour has she taken all the attention off Megs, who stole it from Eug?

She could have waited.

SilentIsla · 15/10/2018 23:02

Pippa is peripheral.

Onecutefox · 15/10/2018 23:17

Some of you have so much hatred that it has rusted your brains as you are like robots.

Onecutefox · 15/10/2018 23:18

I agree, Pippa could have waited.

Rebecca36 · 15/10/2018 23:21

I read she told the family at Eugenie's wedding. I doubt there was a big announcement, she probably told them quietly.

helacells · 15/10/2018 23:28

I agree it does seem a tad insensitive, bet Andrew was chuffed... NOT!

JayFul · 16/10/2018 09:50

Typically bad taste of Markle, you can tell she hates not being the centre of attention, there was absolutely no need to announce it at the reception she could have waited at least a few days. I found Eugenie's wedding much more tasteful and Royal than the actress' one.

Plebs are never going to be happy with Meghan.
