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.

damn you Mumsnet. I got excited enough to text my husband who is now going to take the piss out of me for weeks!! grin

I am so fucking embarassed about how fawning I seemed.

I watched a montage of pictures of Will and Kate last night set to rousing music and I had a little tear in my eye.

DP said I am a wanker. he is right.

and STILL people post questions....

Oh dear.

I do think that more is being made out of this than is strictly necessary.

Print off the nice bits of the thread and send to the Palace with a bottle of champagne (as someone suggested up thread) with MNetters best wishes.

And give is tiara emoticons.

Done.

Hello everyone and thank you for allowing me to come on to your website today. I understand there has been some unpleasantness but hope we will have some fun over the next hour.

PinotGrigioBlush One has seen your post and applauds your caring actions to the kittens. I do hope you get to keep one - kittens are scrummy. :)

Everyone who has asked about something old/new/borrowed/blue - yes I will be following this. My mother has given me an antique diamond pin which will be fastened to my dress, the dress is new, some of my jewels are borrowed and the blue you will have to guess at.

Why am I on Mumsnet - well is this not the place for ladies who wish to learn and speak to others about their experiences of life? Besides which, I really will need some help planning what I hope will be a large family.

Please bear with me while I scroll through your questions. :)

I don't think something has to be that serious or conspiritorial to be contemptuous. I just don't find it that funny...

GitAwfMayLend I think they've polished off the cooking sherry, sherry vinegar and are currently working their way through a sticky bottle of unidentified liqueur found at the back of the stationery cupboard which someone brought back from holiday last year.

Im going back to netmums they don't trick people ...bye!!!!!!!!!!!

KKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTE

they have changed the title i think.....

seriously...?

The next webchat you have MNHQ (whoever the fuck it is) I am going to go postal on it

fnaaaar harrrr harrrr.

I thought I imagined it, then though, wtf, this is what is the problem with people today. Too much time spent in chatrooms. And on her wedding day, harr harr.... A true mumsnetter.....

right I am off out
MN PLEASE do not delete this beforeI get back, or I will be eternally grateful to anyone who saves a copy for me
Please
pleasse
please

I've a question, why is your box that nasty orange colour?

whoops, that'll teach me to read whole thread before posting.! And to think I bit my tongue and posted something neutral rather than 'so is your family contributing anything towards the wedding, or is it all down to the peasants?''

Pretend Kate Middleton did you watch the crapfest Wills and Kate movie?

Well I for one am relieved. I was worried our future Queen might see my post about ds2 accidentally colouring her face Smurf blue instead of her dress and then drawing a crown on her head that looked like a giant bum.

I thought I might be celebrating the wedding day with my head on a spike at the Tower of London.

Awww, people were being nice because she's getting married. It's supposed to be a happy event.

She should still run like mad in the opposite direction mind you.

Are you serious, changed my plans to go out this afternoon, dumped DD in office with DH, made lunch and sat down...to this?

Am not happy, not happy at all.
