AIBU to call it that the future Queen Katherine is pregnant again!

The tiny bump at the women's Wimbledon final. The looser fit below the waist dress today at the men's. Her face is glowing and slightly fuller. I bet 6/7wks 👌

I've called it every time so I soooooo want to be right this time too, just because 😂

Ok, I'm more irresponsible too. I'll take that on board.

scaryteacher · 15/07/2019 15:04

She'd been for an official lunch before the match though.

ItIsWhatItIsInnit · 15/07/2019 15:04

OMG

She looks tiny next to those girls!

I'm still up for the annual environmental impact competition tho

MustBeAWeasly · 15/07/2019 15:05

She isn't the future queen. Just because William is the future king doesn't automatically make her queen.

We don't say King Phillip do we

LoafofSellotape · 15/07/2019 15:05

Yes, minute and they are teens.

ItIsWhatItIsInnit · 15/07/2019 15:10

Also, whoever did the bust darts on her dress should be sacked

myrtleWilson · 15/07/2019 15:13

mustbe thats been covered already - we don't say King Philip because King outranks Queen therefore Philip couldn't be called King. However King William can have a Queen Catherine

Can someone plz tell me what was/is the role of Future “Queen” Camilla?

IABUQueen · 15/07/2019 15:23

And we can safely assume that Meghan’s role isn’t to produce an Heir to the throne because there is a long queue ahead. So what’s her job role ?

When we say she is on maternity leave, from what? What tasks exactly ?

being an accessory to Harry?

Yeahnahmum · 15/07/2019 15:30

If that is what you consider a "bump" you might consider a whale.

then maybe quote either the poster or the question to avoid any confusion ChardonnaysPrettySister, makes it easier to read.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 15/07/2019 16:44

Sorry, should have done.

mydogisthebest · 15/07/2019 16:57

@WhenOneFacePalmDoesntCutIt, I am not the only person who thinks people should stop at 2 children. Experts who know far more than I do about overpopulation, climate change, future food and water shortages etc also say that 2 children should be the maximum amount.

Me and DH having none and you having certainly does not balance out. As another poster said, if that were the case, how come the population continues to increase at an alarming rate?

There are quite a lot of young families where I live and the majority have 3 or more children. Even the ones with 3 are young enough to possibly have more and 2 of them have said they want to have more

TheCatThatDanced · 15/07/2019 16:57

That's ridiculous - either the dress is a bad fit or she's just overeaten/not exercised too much lately.

She does not look pregnant.

IABUQueen · 15/07/2019 17:10

Wouldn’t it be amazing and lovely If Kate and William fostered or adopted a few kids into their family?

Kate are you reading ?

PurpleDaisies · 15/07/2019 17:11

Why? Do you know how hard adoption and fostering are? Hmm

WhenOneFacePalmDoesntCutIt · 15/07/2019 17:17

I am guessing that because of the possibilities of controversy re inheriting the "throne" that will NEVER happen Grin

Would be very tough on the children they would adopt I think

Someone asked me if I was due the other day.! Cheeky bugger

Mil tapped my small pouch when 4 months postpartum and said “looks like you have a baby in there”.

I just said, nah I ate too much yummy food and looked at her proudly. Some people enjoy shaming others to feel better and the best response is to not be ashamed

IABUQueen · 15/07/2019 17:43

You must be joking to think it would be hard for the Cambridge’s out of all people

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 15/07/2019 18:16

Well Kate has said she finds motherhood difficult and that's with the best of everything including nanny help.

William is reported to find children taxing and not have been keen on a third. Plus rumoured to turn his affections to his wife's friends when her attention is otherwise focused on pregnancy and newborns.

So I think they would find adopting or fostering extremely taxing.

CaptainBrickbeard · 15/07/2019 18:38

Kate and William have to travel a lot and use nannies - it would be totally unsuitable for an adopted or fostered child.
