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.

ILoveTiffany, didn't the poster whose son has sn say if she had told him he would have been upset so it is a good job she didn't tell him ? .

Cross post with BOF.

I don't think anything is ruined. Could have been very funny if managed better though. MNHQ I am just a bit disappointed in you

I am actually quite astounded that I can actually be so nice and uncynical. Who knew?

Seriously? How many people have had a sense of humour by pass today?

dont kknow janet,moved so fast,but some posters had told dc,some passed on questions etc. dont know if i saw a 'spazzaa' either ....must scroll back i think cos thats

Although you could make it up to everyone by getting that hockeymum, Sarah Palin on for a chat.

Now wouldn't that be something!

Lol@FakeKateGate

oh nice try Tiff

still giggling at my desk

First post by the delightfully named 'Spazza'

lolol at 'think on'

Made me laugh anyway....but quite possibly the brouhaha over it made me laugh more

did spazza say anything controversial then??

Who will take the Mumsnet campaigns seriously now?
"Mumsnet. Weren't they the idiots who thought KM was chatting to them?"

Just whatelse do some poster's want? Justine held her hands up fairly early on when it was clear some people were cruising for a bruising. Apologised, looking at a tiara-icon. Nice idea, timely, in MN-style, potentially very funny, just executed fairly shitly.

Cant wait for the olympics spoof.....

Justine, you've let us down, you've let yourself down, but most of all...you've created another excuse for more pointless royal wedding non-articles!

lol Reality.

I think more damage could be done by people moaning about it, why complain? 'cos you felt silly at being duped?

We only know people were duped 'cos of all the complaining!

Be cool peeps

Oh, everyone thinks we're twats anyway, thebest even Justine

Nah, it just went off a bit half-cocked.

"Cant wait for the olympics spoof....." - Rohanda, sadly - that's really going ahead

They were just 'avin a larf wiv ya.

Unless.....we've all applied for tickets and it's really just a big joke

I trust no one now

Justine

I have asked several times very nicely.

How about Royal Kitten mascots and (kitten)
