Has The Royal topic been disappeared?

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

But sending a text explaining that left her in tears on the floor.

was on the floor crying because of Kates response or the combo of public wedding/ill fitting dresses/dad

Frankly I'd suggest it was a sign she was massively stressed - needed to off load some tasks and needed some help and actual support.

Quite apart from the fact that it is horrible to feel you have to be on show at a huge public wedding just after giving birth.

Stop blaming any of the Royal Family for making Mumsnet take down the Royal Family Board!

It was the Taliban wot dun it! 😂

@cynthiasrevels are you saying Harry should have delayed their wedding because Kate had a baby? Or do you think they told her to drop the baby weight for the photos? 😆

I think MN threads on 'My insensitive SIL has deliberately arranged her wedding just 3 weeks after I give birth AIBU?' would have had some interesting replies about what if you go overdue and whether you got on.

I doubt it's in keeping with Debretts. Not do I think announcing your pregnancy at a close family wedding. That alone from the more practical and emotional side of things would have ruffled the stade feathers of some of the family.

And yes, the pressure to look good at the wedding / if there was underlying tension and jealousy (which we know to be true with the Notts Cottage 'unfairness') between Meghan and Kate would be hard to just write off if that was the case ('she's done it deliberately because she's insecure and doesn't want to be upstaged by me' narrative).

Certainly it's hard to argue it was considerate of Kate or Eugenie from what is in the public eye but we don't know what the conversations were - not what influence the Queen might have had (as technically I believe she's the one who would set the date not the Bride and Groom).

I am sure there were good reasons for that.

You know this was a petty incident before a wedding that you are all blowing up to a major incident. It really was not.

It's Harry who's blowing it up........

I hope we get an explanation as to why they disappeared

I suspect it will be a daft response like gremlins in the system. But the fact an entire topic vanished and MNHQ weren't actually aware is pretty worrying.

I'd have taken it as a sign she was massively stressed, needed to off load some tasks and desperately needed support - Harry response seem to have been to reassure her Kate meant no harm - possibly not what she actually wanted or needed to hear.

It's Harry who's blowing it up in his book and Meghan in the OW interview. You're right in that it's petty, but look at who's blowin' it out of proportion. More evidence of imagined sleights picked apart years after they should have been forgotten.

But sending a text explaining that left her in tears on the floor.

I was wondering why she didn't say Kate - I've got enough on at minute Karen's dealing with that could you please text her about wedding stuff - thanks.

But I think you knew that was what I meant - why not get some staff to deal with all the wedding stuff that was apparently stressing her out and focus on fun bits and the drama with her Dad and wider family.

Yes, I know what you meant.

It seems that Meghan had asked Kate to go to the talor at KP. Kate instead wanted her dressmaker to remake them, 4 days before the wedding.

We have no idea how the dresses came about, what other contact happened before this, but here we are on MN with a bunch of people having a go at Meghan and tearing her down saying her dress was shit and her bridemaids dresses were shit.

I have always said this whole wedding topic was horrible to begin with because Kate had just given birth and Meghan was stressed beyond belief. Both women were exhausted and stressed. These things happen and this never would have been a story if someone had not leaked the tights story.

BrushingDog · 09/01/2023 20:28

@cynthiasrevels I agree with your post. I wondered why the wedding was scheduled so close to Prince Louis of Wales' birth. Don't the RF have to align these important dates? Maybe H&M insisted that the wedding goes ahead so soon after the due date and weren't going to compromise?

Harry, please do shut up now. Enough of this petty nonsense. Focus on your wife and life and let everyone else get on with things. You won't change the media and you lucked out in that your wife is American and you can happily live there. Onwards and upwards.

I think MN threads on 'My insensitive SIL has deliberately arranged her wedding just 3 weeks after I give birth AIBU?' would have had some interesting replies about what if you go overdue and whether you got on.

Certainly it's hard to argue it was considerate of Kate or Eugenie from what is in the public eye but we don't know what the conversations were - not what influence the Queen might have had (as technically I believe she's the one who would set the date - to ensure it fitted in her diary and because if you are in line to throne you have to ask permission from the Monarch to marry - not the Bride and Groom but I could be wrong on that).

I don't think either of them were very polite to each other. Kate's opening text was quite abrupt. Meghan's response was rude - and so was Kate's reply. However both were stressed so probably not going to be at their best.

To be fair to Kate though, Charlotte's dress looked a mess. It may have been handmade by Givenchy but it was too big with a wonky hem. The fabric was quite unforgiving as there was a stiffness to it - if it had been something softer like chiffon then it wouldn't have been so obvious. There is only so much you can do with adjustments before it gets to the stage that the dress needs to be taken apart and re-made.

@Itsnottime I think they wanted their own dc super fast though.

You were aghast? these people are strangers ffs!

If my BIL treated me in the way Harry is acting I don't think I could ever be in the same room as him again
