Anyone ready to start knitting royal baby jackets?

Anniebach Tue 23-Oct-18 09:58:13

Sounds most unpleasant Maw

That’s life,Annue and her job (lighting buyer for an interiors company) which she loves.
Tougher than me!

MawBroon Tue 23-Oct-18 10:12:14

Sorry Annie!

I do find them both to be attention seekers,
Jolly good!

The more attention that can be brought to any charities, campaigns that they are chosen to represent the better.

Jalima1108 Tue 23-Oct-18 10:35:33

It's OK to fly in the second trimester, so I understand. DD was told on no account to fly in the first or third trimester.

Perhaps the medical advice has changed since then.

Anniebach Tue 23-Oct-18 10:49:08

Jalima, what about taking responsibility ? They knew this tour was on the cards, they chose to start a pregnancy at the same time , why not wait a month ?

Now it seems ‘poor Megan, forced to go on this tour when pregnant ‘ .

Now Harry announces to the world he is hoping for a girl, how cruel. Sod what Harry wants, what about the child, if a boy the press will surely bring this up, and if they have a second which is a girl wait for ‘ the daughter Harry longed for’.

Anniebach Tue 23-Oct-18 10:50:40

And their charities are not chosen for them, they choose.

Jalima1108 Tue 23-Oct-18 10:55:06

Now it seems ‘poor Megan, forced to go on this tour when pregnant ‘
I didn't say she was forced, I just say that not everyone feels absolutely blooming in pregnancy - but, before you do become pregnant you think you will.
And presumably the advice about flying has changed in 10 years.
Unless, of course, she is past the first trimester.

Come to think of it, having experienced both pregnancy and in subsequent years jetlag, one of my pregnancies felt like being permanently jetlagged so the two combined could make someone feel rather unwell. So if she wanted a day out to catch up on sleep because she's waking at 3 in the morning, I don't blame her.

that they are chosen to represent the better.

Probably suggested and perhaps HM asked Harry to take on the QCC, which is an excellent project.

Anniebach Tue 23-Oct-18 12:16:14

I agree the QCC is an excellent project so if pregnant stay home. Jalima this was their choice , I think getting pregnant knowing this tour was to take place was stupid.

It’s perfectly safe to fly until late pregnancy. www.nhs.uk/common-health-questions/pregnancy/is-it-safe-to-fly-while-pregnant/

Looking at today's photos of Meghan wearing a bright blue evening gown (she must have been reading Annie's posts.) I'd say she is just past the first trimester.

I never used to walk around supporting/hugging my tiny bump during the early months. It must be a celebby thing. Mind you, you couldn't find any bumps under those marquee maternity dresses.

Anniebach Tue 23-Oct-18 13:49:33

I can only recall putting my hand on the bump when there was movement, I loved that, but only did it when indoors ,never in the high street or shops . It is very much a celeb thing now.

I liked the brown stripped sun dress and what a difference that blue evening gown , now she needs to get her hair tidied up.

If the baby is due in the Spring and we take the first week of March, she is 20 weeks pregnant , if so , the announcement was withheld untill they arrived in Australia

muffinthemoo Tue 23-Oct-18 13:53:56

Given the fact they’ve openly talked about the gender, I’m certain they’ve had the prenatal Harmony test done and already know the gender.

SueDonim Tue 23-Oct-18 13:59:11

These days, Muffin the baby will be able to choose its own gender, irrespective of its sex! grin

Anniebach Tue 23-Oct-18 14:17:51

I thought that too muffin. I was so hoping it was a boy, pray they will not inflict the name Diana on the child

Anniebach Tue 23-Oct-18 16:49:02

The 2020 Invictus Games will take place in the Netherlands!

Mapleleaf Tue 23-Oct-18 20:19:36

There's a lot of supposition being aired on this thread.

merlotgran Tue 23-Oct-18 20:59:11

There's a lot of supposition being aired on this thread.

Of course there is. grin

Anniebach Tue 23-Oct-18 21:04:31

True ? always has been so when discussing the RF.

merlotgran Tue 23-Oct-18 21:34:39

I'm currently hooked on the documentary, A Dangerous Dynasty: House of Assad.

Chilling and thought provoking stuff.

Whatever republicans may say, I'll settle for the House of Windsor thank you very much.

Anniebach Tue 23-Oct-18 21:35:48

merlot ?, same for me

Iam64 Wed 24-Oct-18 08:16:10

merlotgran, what channel is A Dangerous Dynasty on? It sounds like one for me.
As four our RF, I'm with you, the House of Windsor will do for me. As a more radical younger woman, I couldn't have imagined deciding I prefer what we have to becoming a republic, but there we are.

Anniebach Wed 24-Oct-18 08:32:25

We are living in such turbulent times. Trump ,Putin, terrorism, Westminster at war, through all this the Windsors are there, constant, carrying out their duty to the country regardless. Stability, tradition, I am for it.
