STOP PRESS! Live pre-wedding webchat with our very own Kate Middleton, TODAY at 1pm

Hello. We're extremely honoured (and just a little bit over-excited) to announce that royal bride-to-be Kate Middleton is coming to MNHQ for a webchat today at 1pm.

A while back, we put in a formal request for Kate to take part in a Mumsnet webchat (nothing ventured, nothing gained and all that) but, truth be told, we weren't that hopeful, given her other pressing engagements this week.

But then, this morning, the Buckingham Palace Press Office rang to say Miss Middleton had some time this lunchtime between her last dress fitting and her first palace-balcony-etiquette briefing - and would be delighted to drop in and chat to Mumsnetters. Apparently, she's been lurking on Mumsnet quite a lot recently and has been finding the Bridezilla discussions a real eye opener.

So, quick, please post your (suitably deferential) questions for Miss Middleton here - and join us for our very first royal webchat at 1pm.

i wish it was georgi i wish it was.....

Georgimama · 27/04/2011 20:50

Christ is that thread real?

I mean this, for example:

It's funny because a work colleague of mine used Mumsnet for advice once. Her DS is a fussy eater, like my DD is!, and she was saying that he eats this and that (mostly junk like most kids) and these women slated my colleague saying her son should be on organic produce, eating British only meat and veg and said the amount of 'fresh air he gets in one day is shockingly neglectful'. I kid you not!!! That site is for toffy Mum's in my opinion. Remember when they were sued by Gina Ford for slating her!? Made me laugh!!

has got to be one of you lot taking the piss - yes?

FriggFRIGG · 27/04/2011 20:25

i knew i shouldn't have gone there...those fucking tickers !

i'll be blinking white spots for hours ...

MatthewTheWrightStuff · 27/04/2011 19:33

Now now ladies (and I use that in only the loosest terms). I was having lunch with Jeremy K today and he said he'd be really interested in having some of you on the show - as you are all so opinionated.

My viewing figures are much higher among those who frequent Netmums frankly so I CBFed to have you lot on.

PinotGrigiosKittens · 27/04/2011 19:21

Report back ILT !

TheCoalitionNeedsYou · 27/04/2011 19:02

Ooh - is it the real Matthew Wright?

If so what did you think of Mogwai at Somerset House a few years back? I don't think they work as well outdoors.

GypsyMoth · 27/04/2011 18:27

lo and behold.....theres apparently a slagging off thread over on netmums!!

off for a look!

AitchTwoOh · 27/04/2011 18:12

HAHA awesome if that is the real matthew wright, i love/hate him a lot.

WHAT??!! it isn't the real MW? my children are WEEPING. how dare MWHQ betray my trust in this way? etc.

BitOfFun · 27/04/2011 17:29

Have you had a bad latex experience with your face too, Mattew?

Said with love.

MatthewTheWrightStuff · 27/04/2011 17:02

Thanks very much BoF - I'm a big fan of your work too

I'd prefer it if you didn't thank you Balloon Slayer. I think I have been maligned enough already on here. Incidentally what is your problem with balloons? Bad latex experience? Perhaps you'd like to talk about it on-air?

ViolaTricolor · 27/04/2011 16:59

I have only ever heard of him on MN. Is he a made-up in joke?

BalloonSlayer · 27/04/2011 16:57

I never watch it. I think I've watched it once but the way they kept the newspaper bits out of focus kept making me think I was going blind and I couldn't stand it.

BitOfFun · 27/04/2011 16:53

That's far too complicated for me. But I've always really liked Matthew Wright, so I might not be that bright.

BalloonSlayer · 27/04/2011 16:51

see what I am doing here everyone?

I am pretending to believe it's him in the hope that the real Matthew Wright, seeking to mock me, will read out my post.

I'm clever, me

BalloonSlayer · 27/04/2011 16:49

Is it OK if we call you a Cuntly Cunt, Matthew?

What's a low range of morals, compared to a range of low morals?

MatthewTheWrightStuff · 27/04/2011 16:36

Will you all stop calling me a twatty tit. Thank you very much.

It's not like I stalk your site looking for your puerile rantings, you lot go looking for trouble with your low range of morals.

LadyCornyOfSilk · 27/04/2011 16:31

and I am neither middle class nor foul-mouthed the twat

MatthewTheWrightStuff · 27/04/2011 16:29

Very quick to comment when it comes back eh? They don't like it up them, these middle class wimmen.

Rohanda · 27/04/2011 16:29

and I am utterly classless...

VinegarTits · 27/04/2011 13:33

well he is wrong because i for one am working class

what a tit

MinnieBar · 27/04/2011 13:26

Can't remember it verbatim but he referred to MNers as 'a bunch of foul-mouthed middle-class mothers' (or similar) and explained what had happened briefly. He then said 'One poster, called "Bit of Fun", posted this:' and then read out BOF's post word-for-word (except the last line where you said you didn't care) AND showed the post on screen. He then just said 'Why would I do that?!' (i.e. laugh at us), cackled, and then moved on to suck up to his guests. Was all v brief.
