Royal style & gossip: more gowns, less frowns

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Link to previous thread.

And once again, let's keep this good-spirited. Spiteful comments are about as welcome as Fergie at Prince Philip's birthday party!

I agree MM further into pregnancy than supposed.

Lovely story (non story) about Catherine and Charlotte nipping to loo in random pub.

How pregnant is Meghan. 5 months?
She’ll just show more because she’s got a short body. She’s only been recently photographed with carefully placed cars and tables.
I don’t think we’ll see that much of her till Christmas Day and the church shot.
It may well be that she didn’t want to be hassled by loads of press. A few carefully released photos is the best way to go.

Can't blame Meghan for avoiding the press at the moment plus if she had announced and made a big deal out of it the rumours would be on overdrive that she was stealing Kate's thunder! Also if the bump Is out everyone will be talking about that not the cause she is there to highlight!

Late to the party but I love Kate’s tartan skirt!

Camilla’s Clarence House children’s party looks adorable. What a lovely gesture.

Placemarking whilst putting DC to bed back later!

Glad someone reposted the pic of Meghan that @itswinetime posted earlier. She is quite breathtakingly beautiful in it.

Missed Kate taking Charlotte to a pub. Linky?

Megan is glowing - she looks lovely. I can't blame her for keeping her head down a bit as well, I hope she isn't feeling too battered by it all and getting a bit of rest.

Max ❤️ ❤️ And also, who was the lady in blue? Love that look as well!

I can’t do links, but it was on the sun earlier today. Dodgy looking pub too.

Read this about Royal births earlier

So if, as a pp mentioned, Megan does go for a home birth, she'll be actually going v traditional (anyone want to open a book on the likelihood of bitchy columns about her hippy American ways if she does though...?)

Also - does that mean that HM had a C section in her bedroom, or did they have an operating theatre set up just in case?!

There is an operating theatre in BP, that's where HM had her C sections

Well, I did not know that. Every day a school day!

Camilla looks great in that outfit. She has a very trendy back zip down the back of her jacket too!

Leti looks incredible in red. And Max. Well just love her.

I didn't know HM had a C for Charles. Mind you, all I'm going on is what was shown in The Crown - that she was knocked out for Andrew's birth but the DoE was there for Edward's. That at least corresponds with what the article says.

Wow didn’t know the Queen had a c-section.
I think Kate wanted to have Louis at KP, given her easy prior births, it seems understandable. 20 people at the birth of George. A bit like old fashioned royal births with loads of witnesses.

The medical team weren't allowed to drink alcohol or go out for weeks before Kate's due date, they were on call.

Being knocked out at the point of delivery was very much the done thing at that time, I believe. There are some nasty stories of women being left traumatised by it.

Interesting that the article mentioned HM insisting the the DoE was there for Edward - bit of a change from Charles' birth, when he was taken off to play squash to distract him from corridor pacing!

It is such a shame when a lovely thread like this one is spoilt by unnecessary and no added value critical posts are made.

@YearOfYouRemember Really? I can see comments critiquing the clothes but not the women.

The Queen Mother delivered HM by caesarean too in 1926.

I just knew Kate would have her three with no pain relief. As if emerging 20 mins later looking fabulous wasn't bad enough ! I looked like I'd recently been dragged from an earthquake zone. I still have a mum tum and my youngest is 23.
