Literally haven't seen any mention of this anywhere.

I can only see references to her Mothers Day Instagram post

Oh, it was an Australian website. No idea why it came up in my feed. I dont follow Eugenie's comings and goings. Very odd.

Wonder if any of the royal family would announce a pregnancy out of wedlock

Greenteandchives · 04/05/2020 17:34

Eugenie is married, Soda

I thought that was announced a few days ago - perhaps I imagined it....

I think the royal would have a termination.

I think people are conflating Eugenie and Beatrice. The former is married; the latter is engaged (and the wedding has been repeatedly postponed, through no fault of either her or her partner).

Australian magazines just make shit up to an extent you absolutely would not believe

@Nancydrawn, i think you're confusing conflate with confuse! Sorry, i couldn't resist that one.

Eugenie might be pregnant, she's been married 2 years so it will hardly be a massive scoop when it comes.

No, I actually meant conflating, as in they were merging the two in their heads! But yes, also confusing.

I am boring myself to death now but I think it is sets (of data) that get conflated. Two people can"t conflate I don't think. It sounds wrong. Every day is a school day for me though.

Ah! Conflating merely means combining, merging, or fusing two things into one. It's most typically used with abstract things, like ideas, analyses, etc.

I meant in my original post that they were conflating their understandings or their recollection of Beatrice and Eugenie, not actually blending the two of them together physically.

Tbf I don't think it actually has to be two, just multiple. So you can conflate the meanings of multiple religions, e.g.
