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

[HelenMumsnet]

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.

Tell us anyway Psammead.

Haaaaa Haaaaaaa.

so Justine WAS in on it!!

Crown smilies and a bunting one. No matter how difficult it is to make.

Al Pacino please or I'm off to babycentre :o

Justa
He woke at 5am with stiff neck and sore head. We popped to A&E to get checked. Doc ruled out meningitis - thinks it is a muscle strain. We are going home later today. He is much better already - had ibuprofen and heat packs. Thanks for asking.

CHOCOLATE EMOTICON AND A CROWN EMOTICON

I'm sure its probably classed as treason to impersonate a nearly member of the Royal Family?

Looks like Justine's buying the s tonight....

MNHQ I am disgusted. I am a royalist and I feel really pissed off and let down by this.

At least I know for certain that its a prank before I sing off

Get Harry on here.

I knew there was a reason you said Kate instead of Catherine

sign off - see I can't even type so angry

what Zachary says

Thats actually a fair point now, your next guest will get no input from MN'ers now. We will all just assume they are not real.

Am still wondering whether this might be a double bluff....

I may well withdraw MNHQ's invitations to the meet up Sal

I know it was meant to be fun, but what a waste of time. I do hope no-one bothers asking any questions at 1pm today. What are you going to ask someone who happens to be called 'kate' anyway?

Never mind Mumsnet Towers, you'll all be sent to the Tower of London now. I hope you'll still be able to run MN from your dungeon.

How come you corrected the rumour on Twitter at least 15 mins before coming onto this thread? Could it possible be because the publicity and extra hits is great for your business? Could that have been the real motivation behind this "joke"?

I will take my funny, quirky, brilliant question to the grave. From which I shall haunt MNHQ.
