Is it me or is anyone else fed up with seeing pictures of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex holding onto her bump, it has been constant since day1 of the announcement.now I am not averse to seeing pregnancy bumps , in fact it can be lovely,but I truly feel it’s almost as if she is acting all the time. It is starting to really grate on me , I wish someone would tell her to stop!!!

,plus reading about her and katie on line
No-one has to read about them if they don't want to; I never read anything about them online. I haven't actually seen any pictures of Meghan cradling her 'bump'.

I expect they, too, get just as fed up of seeing their every move reported in the msm.

Meghan who? tchsmile

For goodness sake! Stop being so sour and unkind. (Not everyone!) I agree with Jalima 'It's just an unconscious way of protecting your bump.' All pregnant women do it!

It has become a long-standing habit with the British press to raise somebody up in the popular esteem, and then shoot them down with nasty tales, innuendos and gossip about them. Leave her alone! Time will tell what sort of person she is. Not the media.

It's just an unconscious way of 'protecting' your bump.

Find me a modern media picture of a pregnant woman who doesn't have at least one hand on her bump.

Everyone does it. It's the fashion. It's how people know you're pregnant ?

Was Bonnie Prince Charlie smuggled in that way?

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong wink

Wasn't that also how they used to smuggle people out of the dungeon? grin

Billybob4491 Thu 20-Dec-18 15:09:11

Mawbroon - the lady in the picture you posted was not pregnant, we had a Speaker at our club and she brought this picture along, apparently it was the fashion of the time.

Kate accepted what came with her husbands job , not a down trodden little woman, just as women who marry a man in the armed forces, marries a doctor, a police officer, a politician.

Elrel I don’t know, it’s not a bad deal is it? Having almost anything you want, and the best of it too, living in luxury in a beautiful house with your adoring husband.Being feted wherever you go and your words hung upon and flowers presented to you etc etc.
Am not a Royal watcher, just see them now and again in a magazine or tv, but from the things I have seen, Kate has adapted well and really fitted in, and Meghan not so much.

Elrel Thu 20-Dec-18 13:42:22

Would you want to be her? I certainly wouldn't.
And, about the 'acting' - what do you expect? Don't most of us wear a mask to a greater or lesser extent when out in public and, especially, if we are the focus of attention?
She is adapting to a new role in every sense, look what constant criticism and press exposure has done to other royals and celebrities and back off.

GillT57 Thu 20-Dec-18 13:01:00

Oh for heaven's sake, leave the poor woman alone. I think the tabloid press have taken against her and they keep drip drip drip their nasty, scurrilous stories. Highlandlass, you need to get out more.

Rowantree Thu 20-Dec-18 10:41:14

Who cares? Honestly? It's just another baby, albeit an expensive one.

ditzyme Thu 20-Dec-18 10:40:05

Annoys me too. I get that she feels protective, all of us who have been mothers understand that, but it's like she's trying to draw attention to herself. There has been much said in the press lately about how she treats staff (imperiously), how she wants (and gets) her own way, how she is the cause of a widening rift between Harry and William. You have to take some of the press reportage with a pinch of salt, who really knows what goes on, and what business is it of ours anyway. But she has gone down in public opinion apparently, especially when you add her apparently soured relationship with her father and how she has ignored him since her marriage.

Well sarah...Nobody is queen consort until the husband has become king, same for Kate. I even read that including little George, three future kings were one photo together.

There is no certainty in this uncertain world that this will happen.

MissAdventure Wed 19-Dec-18 21:01:13

How do people know what she wants?
I barely know what I want, let alone anyone else!

Mycatisahacker Wed 19-Dec-18 20:59:00

Why do you post this twice?

You are that jealous of a pregnant woman? Wierd

Anniebach Wed 19-Dec-18 20:13:14

About whom Sarahell ?

Bridgeit Wed 19-Dec-18 20:10:37

Meow, Meow,
Just put your paws (claws) over your eyes ladies?

Veda Wed 19-Dec-18 20:08:46

I wrote a message earlier but it hasn’t appeared.

sarahellenwhitney Wed 19-Dec-18 18:45:20

Anniebach. Agree. Camilla and Kate carry out charity work however we know their future will be Queen consorts. I recently read that one paternal relative used the words Delusions of Grandeur.

Anniebach Wed 19-Dec-18 12:46:46

she would have known marrying into the royal family placed her on the world stage but in fairness she may not have realised she would be a minor royal.
