I saw it and just felt a bit sad about how much absolute shite they're going to get in the press again. They look so happy though, I hope they just ignore it all.

I don't even like the Royal Family, just think the racist bullshit directed at Megan is gross.

Yes lovely news. Congratulations to them. They look so happy in the published photograph.

Yes, I loved the photo. Good to have some happy news - just what we need at the moment!

I'm so happy for them, particularly after their miscarriage. And I love that photo! As a comment I saw on Twitter said, looks as if it's not that long till the second one is born! Also saw it mentioned that they announced this 37 years ago to the day that the Princess of Wales announced her pregnancy with Harry! Love it!
(Sorry if this was mentioned in the article in the OP, I haven't read it.)

Lovely news, just what we need in these hard times and such a delightful photo! similar style to the black and white engagement chin grab snap isn't it? The Star's headline today is a little unkind, I won't link it as I'd hate to get the thread deleted. The media are so horrid to them.

TheQueef · 15/02/2021 08:34

Lovely pic, congratulations to them.

AnnLouiseB · 15/02/2021 08:35

Lovely news, I really wish the best for them all.

gamerchick · 15/02/2021 08:38

I'm happy for them me. I especially liked it was announced when Diana announced hers.

I don't get why she gets so much nastiness though, it just doesn't compute. What exactly is it she's done? He looks happy enough.

gamerchick · 15/02/2021 08:38

Actually don't answer that, this is a nice thread.

You seem to have missed out the AIBU part of your OP. Hmm

Sceptre86 · 15/02/2021 08:55

They are besotted with each other which is nice to see. Best of luck to them.

x2boys · 15/02/2021 08:57

No I don't get it either @gamerchick I'm not a royalist by any stretch of the imagination but I don't understand the Megan hate , anyway good luck to them .

@SillyBub

I could find the AIBU part either! Confused

Shocks me how much coverage this pair get when they obviously try so hard to stay out of the spotlight! Grin

TheKeatingFive · 15/02/2021 09:32

They have never said this is what they’re trying to do.

And if you think that, why give them what they want by engaging with a thread about them?

GetOffYourHighHorse · 15/02/2021 09:47

'Shocks me how much coverage this pair get when they obviously try so hard to stay out of the spotlight'

Oh no no no, as a pp said they haven't ever said that, they just want control over what is said about them you see. I imagine the whole Royal Family must feel the same way. It must've been awful for example for the RF when Scobie wrote all that gossipy crap about them in Finding Freedom that they had no control over. Luckily H understood this was a gross invasion of privacy and absolutely did not approve at all.

Lovely picture though and such happy news!

90 minute Oprah interview with Harry and Meghan set to air on 7th March. Should be interesting!

The lying on the ground in the wood while pregnant is a bit strange. I'd feel vulnerable like that...

LillyFlower1984 · 15/02/2021 22:50

I doubt it’s some random wood, probably there backyard but really could Prince Harry son of Princess Diana, brother and son to heirs of the British throne, rich beyond imagination and his beautiful mixed race (non-white) non-conformist wife ever stay out of the limelight?

I think they are happy and very much hear to stay.

It’s their back garden apparently, so I doubt Meghan was too worried!

Oprah. Is she like the US's Jeremy Kyle? They won't insult the RF with very one sided allegations surely. That would be grossly unfair when the RF have no right of reply, they will I hope focus on their lovely news, their current happiness and volunteering jobs. They weren't keen when Thomas Markel spoke to the media about his grievances so of course they wouldn't do the same..would they?!
