Royal style & gossip: hairbands and birth plans

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Will Kate emerge from her Norfolk seclusion sporting a bigger than ever Alice band? Will the Mail and Express stories about Meghan get more ludicrous by the day? And will this thread see the arrival of Baby Sussex? All will be revealed in due course...

I reckon she’s had it already.

Signing in. It has been a very loooong pregnancy.

Hello! I’d love it if she has already given birth and they get a quiet first month to themselves :)

“Hello! I’d love it if she has already given birth and they get a quiet first month to themselves ”

No- I want them to earn their keep!

It would be cute if the baby had her own Instagram :)

I've been hoping she'll have it with no announcement and keep things quiet for a day or two.
The DoC is made of strong stuff doing the hospital steps photo call within 24hrs but fair play to the Sussexes if they don't bother.

Thanks for the new thread queen - I hope Meghan has safely delivered and they’re all having a nesting time, just the four of them

Checking in.

I think she had her 8 week scan the morning she did the Grenfall book launch. Her mum was with her and Harry too. I reckon they had both accompanied her to the scan and were absolutely beaming all afternoon. So I think her due date is May 1st ( if it was her 12 week scan she's overdue!). I reckon that they wanted to announce at 12 weeks but waited for Eugenie to be married but as she was beginning to show they couldn't wait long!

The DM will be SPITTING if she's had it and they do a quiet instagram notice 3 days later

Thanks for the new thread Queen I just hope that she gets the birth she wants, I was hoping for water birth and aromatherapy but ended up more 'cow with a vets arm up it's bum' sadly. Always thought I had child bearing hips for a reason, but no

Sorry for the apostrophe, MN really needs an edit button!

I haven't forgiven Meghan for choosing to make it obvious she was pregnant at Eugenie's wedding. It was totally unnecessary to wear an outfit that caused such speculation.

I don’t know if they had had a scan that morning, but they’d probably just told Doria.
Agreed they all looked

It was totally unnecessary to wear an outfit that caused such speculation.

Agreed. The minute she stepped out of the car in the weirdly buttoned coat, I said she was pregnant.

a. They will get a quiet month to themselves - they get oodles of quiet time to do absolutely diddly squat on the taxpayer’s dime. The rest of us knowing their baby has been born makes no difference.

b. Meghan doesn’t strike me as a woman who actually wants heaps of quiet time away from the glare of worldwide interest and speculations. Me thinks the lady doth love it.

When Kate had hers at the London there were notices / no loitering warnings up days before I think.

I agree they'll do a photo release. Deffo no announcement that she's in labour. Wonder if her mum is here already.

Let's hope Baby Sussex doesn't decide to arrive on the Queen's birthday, 21st April. I'm sure the Fail would have MM doing it deliberately.

I'm with Bertrand

Please no foot picture on Instagram. If you take money from the tax payers coffers for security then you don't just get to act like Beyoncé.

I hope her birth goes to plan but actually I think Kate's way was quite sensible. Personally even with 3 C-sections I was on an adrenaline high for the first 48 hours and would rather get the photos out of the way then. Kate looked her best in my opinion after George when she was less blow dried/tonged!

Kate look so young in the George photo!
I reckon her EDD is this week so baby will be here within 2 weeks

I don't think people will be impressed if they do a foot photo as usually celebs do that because they have sold an exclusive to a magazine. A nice photo of the three of them once recovered would be nice. And please don't wait a month to announce the name either

Thanks Queen for the new fab thread. Checking in til bathtime is over 🙂

Thank you for the new thread @QueenOfTheAndals

Radio 5 presenters we're discussing Meghan's potential birth plan today. Seems she wants a home birth and doesn't want to do the pose on the steps with the baby.

Completely agree with Meghan not wanting to do a steps pose.
Older mum, first baby, why not go to a midwife unit in a hospital. You just never know; look at Sophie, nearly died having Louise.
