Meghan holding bump?

Why is it anybody's business to comment on any young woman pregnant with her first baby? What a lot of judgemental snippy and harpy like behaviour is going on!

I do not support the principle of a royal family but you know what I do not wish any of them personal harm.. nor care about them enough to read up or seek out pictures so I could be be so bloody critical!

The woman is not cutting any dodgy international deals ( Prince Andrew), making racist comments (Philip) so why keep your vitriol for a woman who holds her baby bump! There are better candidates for that if that is what you enjoy.

Maybe those being critical are coming from a snob perspective? After all she is only an American commoner and , good grief, an actress too..and 'of colour'... so fair game?

She could not possibly be a young woman in love, having her first child.

I have no idea what she is like as a person, I do not know her.

Vitriol seems to be the ‘word of the day’

or the voice of today

No difference, it’s a personal attack on posters

Perhaps echo of the day

Collins English dictionary - vitriol definition and meaning;

"if you describe what someone language or behaviour as vitriolic, you disapprove of it."

"If you refer to what someone says or writes as vitriol, you disapprove of it because it is full of bitterness and hate, and so causes a lot of distress and pain."

"violent hat and anger expressed through severe criticism "

So perhaps not an echo of the day, rather an expression shared by a number of posters.

No worse than the personal attack on MM though is it! If one posts strongly you have to be prepared to take the riposte.

If you can't say something kind..shut up! It's what I say to the DGCs!

Who cares anyway but how on earth do you know how often she does it?
As Mawbroon said, the photographers may well wait for THAT moment - they know it sells copy!

I wish people would get off her and their back(s). They seem genuinely in love and both have personality and charm from all that we can tell ...

Then Iam64 the same can be said of those who critcise Mr Markle, or is he without ability to feel distress and pain because he is classed trailer trash

Annie as I pointed out on the MM dad thread..we do not know the truth of the relationship. We do not know her father, her, her mum or her siblings..just what the media choose to let us know! So we should not really make any judgements on personal situations we do not have the full info. on. only those involved know the whole truth.

True PECS , I felt so sorry for the man,

But he might be an absolute bastard and MM might be too or they may be two unhappy people we just do not know... maybe MM gets her acting skills from him!

Some really nasty bitter people on here - Meghan is a first time mother at 37 and must surely have wondered how easy it would be to get pregnant, or not. Why on earth does it matter how much she holds/cradles her bump to any of you? Its HER bump, she can do what she likes - bearing in mind the media take hundreds of photos and select a tiny number to actually publish, she probably isn't constantly touching her bump but they have chosen the pics that show that. As for her holding hands with Harry - words fail me! Me and the other half held hands all the time when we were first married, and still do now sometimes.

Getting a bit sick of all the unwarranted criticism the poor woman is getting - when there is nothing she has actually done wrong (ignore the spurious media rumours from "a source"). Diana was hounded to her death by the media, Fergie and Andrew split despite clearly still being in love. Clearly they are trying to do the same to Meghan (too American, too mixed-race and - shock, horror - an actress!) and Harry and sensible people should not buy into their bullshit. Just because she was an actress does not mean she is always acting - unless any of you know personally that this is definitely the case then maybe give the lip flapping a rest!

PECS, you made me laugh, thank you

Better to smile than to weep!

Maybe she's worried it will fall out.

Saetana, unless you know personally she isn’t acting perhaps take your own advice

so what if she holds her new life in her hands.she has a lot to contend with like the media and the royal family. must be awful trying to fit in with all the customs and traditions.although i dont look at her a lot, got better things to do than criticise..its early days yet ....

Jealousy, a sniff of racism and a very very sad thread about a first time pregnant woman.

Ffs in the same day Corbyn clearly is a mysogynistic twat can we not support a woman. And I am no fan of Theresa or the royal family as an institution or a politician.

What a horrible post. Guessing you have never suffered a mc. You should be ashamed of your post

Anniebach yes I remember that, but the chronology I remember was that the newspaper said it first, and THEN the interviews with the public were conducted. My hunch is that if the public were asked before the newspaper put the idea out there "is there anything bothering you about this situation at the moment?" very few of them would have spontaneously come up with "yes why is the Queen not here?"

ReadyMeals, you are so right. On the Sunday Earle Spencer stood at the gates of his house and said he knew the press would kill her. Then the news was coming in about the paps. The press kicked of the frenzied attack on the Queen and the public joined in.

I had many miscarriages , and probably held my bump, but still, she does seem to do so in a very posed and staged way.

Recently there has been so many celebs posing for photographs with one hand at the bottom of the bump and one hand on the of the bump, I certaintly loved placing my hand on my tummy to feel movement but the hand placed under the bump is for me too like the celeb photographs and I certaintly didn’t walk down the street or walk into shops or houses with a hand on the bump.
Perhaps if she wore looser clothes not clothes which cling under the bump.

It's a natural thing to do. It's a protective action. TBH I'd be protecting it from the Firm too.
