Surely this is the thread where Meghan has her baby??

I am glad that thread was zapped. I was sorry I posted on it, but someone made an incorrect statement about Henry VIII, and I couldn't help myself.

QueenOfTheAndals · 28/04/2019 18:20

The most hilarious comment on the other thread was when one poster accused Meghan of turning the royal family into a laughing stock. I think HM's own family managed that themselves long before Meghan arrived on the scene!

So we are blaming Meghan for it's a royal knockout now? Wink

Mintandthyme · 28/04/2019 18:34

The vilest comment on the other thread referred to the as yet unborn baby
That was a new low imo.

I believe so. Along with Tampaxgate, Squidgeygate, the English Reformation, the Civil War, the madness of King George, the Windsor Castle fire, the abdication crisis, and that rather unfortunate hat of HMQs in the seventies that took a distinct swerve towards the elaborate tea cosy look.

And the Spanish Inquisition. Obvs.

I see the Sussex’s have sent a £7000 piece of art as a wedding present to Idris Elba.
I heard that Royals don’t give wedding presents as a matter of form. I guess to stop people inviting them thinking they will get a lavish present.
Where is the money coming from for such an expensive present I wonder?

beachyhead · 28/04/2019 18:43

I'm surprised Harry was at the Marathon today. I can imagine a hassled aide coming up and whispering in his ear Smile

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 28/04/2019 18:47

Didn’t Idris Elba dj at M&Hs wedding reception ?
Seems majorly stingy if the « not giving a present « story is true.
I know they give each other joke Xmas presents ( doormats, shower caps etc)

QueenOfTheAndals · 28/04/2019 18:50

Harry has his own money from Diana, and she left millions apparently, so I guess £7k is nothing if it comes out of that.

I think whether or not the baby has been born popping out to lend support at the marathon is his job. Most new dads have to work up until the baby is in labour, be there for the birth and be back at work the next day. I would have said to Harry pop along to the marathon show your support. Especially if I had my mum and a nanny to help out. It isn`t as if he can make himself useful, cooking, cleaning really is it.

AdaColeman · 28/04/2019 18:58

Harry is estimated to be worth 40 million, from the trust fund left by QM and from Diana's estate, Meghan 5 million, so a few grand is nothing to them.

Did you really just ask where two very rich people who spend about 3-4k on a suit or dress without a blink get the money to spend £7k on a wedding present? Hmm

I'm much, much, much lower on the income scale and spent £150 on a gift for the last wedding I went to and £200 for one I couldn't attend.

I promise I haven't robbed a bank recently.

Spudlet · 28/04/2019 19:19

Has anyone seen Meghan and Ronnie Biggs in the same place though? Well, have you? Maternity leave, or bank robbing spree? ShockShock

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 28/04/2019 19:32

It’s Kate & William’s 8 th wedding anniversary tomorrow.
I presume he is on a plane back from NZ right now.

queenofarles · 28/04/2019 19:33

I’m more surpsired by the gift , not the price tag, is it really that picture with the cheesy Quote?

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 28/04/2019 19:34

Pierre Casiraghi and Béatrice at the Monaco art fair.
He is definitely improving with age!

QueenOfTheAndals · 28/04/2019 19:36

He is, sadly the opposite of what's happening to his once-beautiful brother. And Beatrice is so chic.

This is the instagram for the artists

Some of the quotes on what I presume is vintage art are quite funny.
I guess the Idris wedding gift was a Meghan inspiration quote ( bananagate)

I can't believe W&K have been married for 8 years Shock time flies.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 28/04/2019 19:43

I’m bored. I’m going to start a caption competition.
Here’s the first one ( Charlotte Casiraghi)

I'm kind of hoping the baby doesn't come tomorrow or Meghan will get it in the neck for spoiling Will and Kate's wedding anniversary. I read some of that thread that got deleted, some unnecessary comments but I missed the worst of them it seems.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 28/04/2019 19:49

I feel like I’ve been expecting the baby to arrive since March.
Looks like it could be a May baby after all.
It does now annoy me that Meghan wore that partially buttoned coat to Eugenie’s wedding, over 6 months ago.
It was thoughtless and very “look at me”. When she announced less than a week later, she barely showed In a skin tight white shift dress.

yellowalstroemeria · 28/04/2019 19:51

Charlotte C's (cannot spell it) face is very funny there. Think the model spilled her lunch on that lovely white dress.

SevenSeasofRye · 28/04/2019 19:53

I’m just surprised as it isn’t the done thing I understood. I knew someone who was very good friends with the Tindalls. They went to each other’s weddings and she said Zara never gives presents .

Paradyning · 28/04/2019 19:54

Beatrice B is so beautiful! Always looks stunning.
There were some pap shots of Eug yesterday looking fab too.
