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 😂

Why will she never be Queen?

Flyingquestion · 15/07/2019 07:58

All the ‘Queen Catherine’ posts on here are cringy as fuck. She isn’t queen and never will be.

^ this - not only that - Queen Katherine.

PolkadotLollipop · 15/07/2019 08:04

Days, because she isn’t in line to the throne. William is. Phillip isn’t King, is he?

lyralalala · 15/07/2019 08:06

because she isn’t in line to the throne. William is. Phillip isn’t King, is he?

The King’s wife is Queen. So Kate will be Queen Catherine just as the Queen Mother was Queen Elizabeth.

PolkadotLollipop · 15/07/2019 08:06

She’ll be a Royal Consort, the spouse of the ruling King (or Queen in Phil’s case).

rainbowbash · 15/07/2019 08:07

yes, she will. Queen is below the king so William will be 'above' her.

Philip isn't king as he would be above the queen but Queeny has been heir to the throne.

I find it so odd when people claim to love a celebrity and then make threads like that which are upsetting to anyone.
For many reasons is unkind to try to out a pregnancy.

"She’ll be a Royal Consort, the spouse of the ruling King"

Yes, also knows as a queen (consort).

AliasGrape · 15/07/2019 08:09

She’d be Queen Consort - Philip isn’t King because King outranks Queen and we couldn’t have that, but the wife of a male monarch is styled ‘Queen’ e.g. Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.

PolkadotLollipop · 15/07/2019 08:10

Queen consort, not Queen.

I’ve read ‘queen’ so many times now it looks like gobbledygook

Gwenhwyfar · 15/07/2019 08:11

"Queen consort, not Queen. "

Queen consort is a type of queen Polka, not 'not a queen'.

AliasGrape · 15/07/2019 08:14

Funny how we see what we want to see/see something different based on our own preconceptions though - posts on here talking about a bump/tummy versus elsewhere calling her too thin, posts here talking about her looking tired and stressed and others saying she’s ‘glowing’.

I do think we should keep out of other women’s uteruses though.

PolkadotLollipop · 15/07/2019 08:14

Anywho, semantics aside, it is certainly rude to be using the Q word when Granny is still on the throne and Charles is first in the queue!

mydogisthebest · 15/07/2019 08:15

@Mumto123monkeys yeah, I don’t see why it’s a bad example, What’s wrong with 4 children?

Is that a serious question?

NeverSayFreelance · 15/07/2019 08:20

That bump looks to me more like

A) the bump that all women have at the bottom of their belly
Or
B) water retention

I doubt she's preggo. Like PPs have said, Kate always ends up in hospital. Poor woman, I would've stopped at one with sickness like that.

dreamyspires · 15/07/2019 08:26

I wonder how much we will end up paying for each of the little darlings

Nothing same as the rest - the Queen pays

So that still means we’re paying. The security costs for each royal child are huge too.

SuzieQQQ · 15/07/2019 08:26

She looks dreadfully thin. She looked insignificant compared to the tennis players who looked lovely and healthy. I feel sorry for her. She is far too thin.

SerenDippitty · 15/07/2019 08:27

As future Queen Consort, the Doc's entire role is to provide heirs and look good.

She has provided an heir and spare, it is certainly not her “role” tohave any more than that.

Blobby10 · 15/07/2019 08:30

She hasn't changed her hairstyle so shes not pregnant. With her other 3, she had either a fringe cut in or the whole lot shortened and the colour changed just before the announcement Smile

Howslow · 15/07/2019 08:36

To me that bump just looks like a bit of bloating on a very thin frame - same thing happens to me after strawberries Grin

NoSauce · 15/07/2019 08:52

Oh piss off. She is lovely and healthy. Her build is very slender. And who are you to say she’s far too thin? It’s up to her how much she weighs not some random on the internet.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 15/07/2019 08:57

I don’t see the Monarchy lasting after Charles.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 15/07/2019 08:57

Four children is irresponsible, I think.

LakieLady · 15/07/2019 08:59

Well she is obviously still slender as anything, but this is the one that got me thinking yesterday. Teeny tiny bump!

When you're as thin as she is, a full bladder would probably give you a bump!

CitadelsofScience · 15/07/2019 09:01

If nothing else this thread has highlighted two things.

Many women do not understand the harm that comes of scrutinising other women purely on their looks and how many babies they can produce.

And that some people don't understand the environmental impact of having more than two children. I've have four and as much as I love them, had I known about the impact they'd have back then, my youngest two wouldn't be here.
