Just heard the news this morning a new baby due for William & Kate next year I hope she stays well as she suffered with the last two pregnancies.Sending congratulations.

The timing is a bit unfortunate. I think it would have been nice to have George settled into school before his mum started (in his 4yr old eyes) acting different to normal, and maybe having to break her promise to take him to school herself

Oh dear. I wish more people were worried about the world's population. They should be setting an example. (The Royals I mean)

I am not a royalist, but I think they are building a lovely family. I am glad for them.

Anniebach Tue 05-Sept-17 09:43:36

Not have a career to go back to? Do all mothers have a career to go back to?

Tegan2 Tue 05-Sept-17 09:39:39

grannyactivist; lovely to hear your good news. I was only thinking of you the other day!

Oh dear another one, and Harry hasn't even started yet. Shouldn't someone have told them 2 will do? But then I suppose if you don't have to worry because daddy and granny will cough up as much as you need, you can have as many as you want. And it's not as if she has some sort of a career to go back to is it?
Is it the same posters welcoming Royal babies on here who have supported the cap on benefits for a third child I wonder? So some babies are more welcome than others.

Congratulations to the 'parents in waiting'. Also to my youngest daughter who has just announced her own third pregnancy. smile

ginny Mon 04-Sept-17 17:22:47

Just to add of course we are all glad to hear all goes well.

ginny Mon 04-Sept-17 17:21:28

Most of us are not being insulting. I'm sure we all hope baby and mother are fine. We just get fed up with having so much trivial yakking about it for so long. Royal or not pregnancies are usually only interesting to those who are close

How would you feel if you read a thread insulting your pregnant daughtersad

Its such such a shame that it is thought to be OK to use insults when mentioning the Royal babies
The Queen is a grandmother and great Grandmother.
We have threads on GN welcoming new babies into the world and congratulating grandparent on forthcoming births!

My DiL suffers badly from sickness during her pregnancies and yet is about to produce number 5!!!! She doesn't care the care that the Duchess gets of course but she is being regularly checked out.

Should you not be HRHLemongrove?

ginny Mon 04-Sept-17 16:37:56

Just when we thought it was safe to surface after all the Diana fuss ! The media will be thrilled. Pages and pages of , boy / girl ? Like her/him ? What shawl/pram to buy to be just like them ?
Ho him, hope all goes well .

Charleygirl Mon 04-Sept-17 16:24:53

I am delighted that she is pregnant again and sorry to hear that she has early morning sickness so badly again.

They can afford it- why not?

lemongrove Mon 04-Sept-17 15:50:20

Oh dear, One so hoped to go unrecognised Jane10 but I did try to be discreet and not mention Philip or the corgis.

Anniebach Mon 04-Sept-17 15:45:47

Didn't think of that Paddyann, plus the Windsors never get prosecuted

paddyann Mon 04-Sept-17 15:45:45

Sara53 many of us left forelock tugging in the past where it belongs ,the monarchy is an out of date concept in a modern world.They are NO better than the rest of us and not nearly as good as many ...though they seem to believe they are

Anniebach Mon 04-Sept-17 15:44:13

It may be wise to have a third child, Margaret didn't do a good job of being pushed out of line, Harry is going the same was as her.

The second must feel rather lost when number one gets on the throne

paddyann Mon 04-Sept-17 15:43:16

och Anniebach he 'll have DRIVER...like his mother did ,you know the one who got the blame for her not wearing a seatbelt ?

paddyann Mon 04-Sept-17 15:38:09

both a bit workshy ,if they lived on a council estate they'd be being slated in the press.This gives her an excuse for another LONG maternity leave and a few more holidays.Tiemfor the monarchy to end when Lizzie dies,they'll breed like rabbits in an effort to keep their life style

durhamjen Mon 04-Sept-17 15:36:22

Other people are only supposed to have two if they are on benefits.

politicalscrapbook.net/2017/09/families-expecting-third-child-will-be-2500-a-year-worse-off-due-to-tory-welfare-cuts/

Will they have their welfare cut?

Anniebach Mon 04-Sept-17 15:34:52

Why will she not have to worry about William getting drunk and get caught driving another woman's car?

devongirl Mon 04-Sept-17 15:26:49

TBH it seems to be Prince Andrew's daughters who are always off on holiday; although having said that, I gather Trump has also had a phenomenal amount of holiday since becoming president, so maybe that's not the way to go!

DanniRae Mon 04-Sept-17 15:26:37

Delighted to hear the news of another baby for William and Kate - I hope she gets over the terrible sickness sooner than past pregnancies.
(Thank goodness she won't have to worry about William getting drunk and getting caught drink driving another women's car like poor Coleen Rooney!!)

Sar53 Mon 04-Sept-17 15:23:16

I also wish them well and hope that Kate doesn't suffer too much. Three is hardly a large family these days.

I really don't like the 'royal bashing' that goes on, yes there are certain members of the royal family who are not always seen in the best light, but I for one am glad that we still have a Monarchy in this country.
