And if not, it looks as though I've hidden it. Can anyone tell me how to unhide it?

The way Meghan is texting Kate is off the wall rude! And Harry has dropped her in it.

I'd pick the phone up and talk because so much context and nuance can be lost with text.

It does read though one woman getting stressed about wedding and family matters another just had a baby and now facing huge press scrutiny and major family event where she and her kids would be judged.

Also Megan wedding dresses was really badly fitted everyone I know commented on that - it was very noticeable. I've seen fabric subsequently blamed but frankly on such a huge public platform and such a poor fitting I'd be finding something to blame as well.

I know I said I'd 🤐, but I have an itch I just can't scratch.

So....

Yes all the dresses at MM wedding were ill fitting, more notably so was the actual bridal gown. Terrible fitting on the neck line, and it poked out weirdly at the hip if I remember.

There I said it 🤣

What do you think?

And that was all you got from my post too? SMH

ThePoshUns · 09/01/2023 19:41

@JaneJeffer , brilliant 🤩

LivelyBlake · 09/01/2023 19:41

Kate did the right thing in giving Meghan flowers and apologising to her.

Charlotte's dress was awful, longer at the back than the front. All wonky.

It was probably in Meghan's interest to have nice dresses for her cortege

It is a bit petty to bring a 3 years old into this.

Who leaked the screenshots, does the DM say?

This has been withdrawn by MNHQ at the poster's request.

Have they closed it before? I know they put a stop to a lot of the Meghan hate threads.

Could it have been pulled due to libellous comments and potential legal action against Mumsnet for allowing those comments to stand?

Mumsnet would have known about that though.

Newwardrobe · 09/01/2023 19:44

I'd love to know what's happened, hope we're given the reason

Yes, it's the sudden disappearance that's odd. MNHQ should know that an entire topic has just disappeared, yet they seem to be just as confused as the regular posters. That's pretty concerning.

doory · 09/01/2023 19:45

those texts are a bit!

Intheroommadeasy · 09/01/2023 19:45

Wow - pouffe gone!

All very odd.

Demanding your DC has a new dress instead of it being altered by probably one of the best tailors in the country? Nah, Kate is definitely wrong about that. And her kid crying when she tried it on because it was too big? As if.
It’s the first I’ve heard about these text messages. Maybe Kate is not the saint she’s been made out to be?

Agree. If true, Kate is in the wrong. It's ridiculous to demand a new dress for a child if the one is too big. Any good tailor can sort that out. It would be harder if it was too small.

JonahCL9 · 09/01/2023 19:47

@LivelyBlake I don't think they are screen shots - the text of the texts comes from the book and the Mail have recreated them as texts on cartoon style phone

GolfEchoRomeoTangoIndia · 09/01/2023 19:48

Mark me down as another who doesn't really care what's going on at KP or Nott Cott, but is positively agog to find out what's going on at MNHQ.

BradfordGirl · 09/01/2023 19:48

So the palace did lie about the argument being over tights.

Josette77 · 09/01/2023 19:48

Those aren't real. They come from the book.

doory · 09/01/2023 19:48

I can see how tensions are high & both would be stressed but saying Charlotte was crying is a bit overkill as is asking for new dresses.

StarInTheHeavens · 09/01/2023 19:48

@LilyMumsnet Can you tell us if it was hacked or it just gave-in under the weight?

tobee · 09/01/2023 19:49

Those texts look fairly low level rude/irritable to me. Wouldn't be starring on a bog standard wedding drama thread on here

Well HQ have been pretty transparent about whose paid them a visit with a cricket bat.

Where did they comment on this?

LegoAmies · 09/01/2023 19:49

The bridesmaid dresses did look awful, baggy and the girls not wearing tights was plain weird. Kate has probably more experience with all this and was frustrated that Meghan was acting like a stroppy bridezilla. I don't think I would have ever responded to my SIl in such a rude manner over something like this. Kate was just being curt and factual (and had a very reborn baby), Meghan OTH pretty argumentative. She then had a melt down sobbing on the floor 🙄, that's so over the top.

ArcaneWireless · 09/01/2023 19:49

‘Right, and I told you….’ Is, in my opinion, an exceptionally snippy and rude response to what is essentially a text letting someone know that something isn’t right for what is a massive occasion for which every flaw would be nitpicked over.

I suppose given that she was maybe fretting about her real impending wedding and not the later one the dress was needed for though, maybe it is understandable 😉

doory · 09/01/2023 19:49

There are low level but I guess the issue was the narrative that it was all Meghan fault.
