New Royal Baby

Diana would have been pleased!
I just said that to annoy, but well, it doesn't bother me one way or the other. I'm glad if they are.

A years perternity leave for William and .harry down to number six

Hope all goes well

I must admit as soon as I read the news I thought of the recent 'full Royal duties' announcement.

Maybe not.

Definitely not merlotgran ? Unlike other fathers he wants to spend time with his children . He should try living on paternity pay

Well; people seem happy enough for JRM to have umpteen children and, to the best of my knowledge William doesn't go out of his way to take away benefits for the poorer members of society so I wish him well. In fact, am quite chuffed with the news.

She's like a brood mare!! I am quite surprised really, as she has fulfilled the "heir and a spare" and she has grim pregnancies poor woman.

luckygirl I have three daughters, the older two were 6 and 4 when I had DD3 and I had lost a child before I had the girls, so 4 babies) No way did I consider myself a brood mare!!
Kate is one of three herself, so why shouldn't she have another baby?
What about Jamie Oliver -5 isn't it?

Who is JRM?

Jacob Rees-Mogg

I'm pleased for them but understand Kate is again suffering with the sickness problem. Brave of her to do it again I think.

We're not paying for Jamie's as well are we??

Another brood mare here! 6 pregnancies, 5 babies.

Very brave of her since she gets so ill! I'm chuffed for them too.

Thank you Cherry.

What in earth has Rees-Mogg to do with this? Did he take a year off on full pay? Do we pay for his family to be housed?

Tory bashing again , sad

Nothing to do with him being a Tory [other than his voting habits]. But I seem to recall being castigated for criticising him for having so many children [live and let live and all that] and yet people are coming down on William and Kate for having a large'ish family.

How on earth will pW take a year off from doing nothing?

I don't think I could stand another years worth of royal baby crap.

I had three children in five years (11 months between the first two) and suffered terrible morning sickness with all three so I'm not 'coming down on them' but it's pretty obvious that William is not yer actual workaholic.

Light hearted comments about Royal events (apart from really sad ones) are to be expected.

I hope Kate recovers soon.

I don't the 3 is a largish family. The brood mare quip is a bit mean.
I admire her for going through another pregnancy. D had the same problems and was hospitalized twice with 1st and three times with 2nd.

Brood mare?? Really?? Or a young , happily married woman who wants ( and can afford) another child?.

Congratulations from me , and you can fill the news with it ( better than imminent nuclear war, Donald Trump or Brexit,
!!!)

Nothing wrong with him having six children, we don't have to house them for life comparing an MP with a Windsor is rather silly . Unless one of his six marries one of Williams three or more.

Merlotgran, he did work forty hours a month as a helicopter pilot when he became the daddy

"fill the news with it", exactly. Are we so easily distracted?

Well I am delighted for them as I would be for any couple looking forward to the birth of a new baby

Had same sickness with mine so know how dibilitating it can be. Not the time to be out in public!
