....she hasn't really got the hang of holding that baby has she?

No, she hasn't come up in my browsing of Twitter either.

Lovely supportive comments for Meghan on Facebook, with many Mums recalling how they had also held their babies in much the same way , as I suspect we all have at sometime.
A photograph can catch but a moment in time, so I suppose if someone hangs around with a camera for long enough they will get what ever it is that they are looking for.

What a silly place to take a 2 month baby , she is walking on uneven ground, couldn’t sit down . Should have stayed in the car.

How do you know there was nowhere to sit down and people are quite capable of walking on slightly uneven ground.

Anniebach Fri 12-Jul-19 08:19:56

Sit down and get up off grass clutching a two month old?

Must admit that I am not really interested! She should be allowed to get on with it without the paps around all the time, but that won't happen due to who she married. I am still not sure about her or her motives, call me cynical!

I have just read the title of this thread again, ?
That didn’t work then did it.
And quite frankly Annibach, your last comment is pathetic.
Surely we can be better than this ?

Anniebach Fri 12-Jul-19 08:41:27

Why if one doesn’t oooze praise is it classed bashing?

Who would walk on uneven ground holding a two month
old, ? She looked so uncomfortable, she was clutching the baby not cradling him.

I would have thought it was the ideal opportunity to put Archie in a baby sling, and they seem to be the trend in LA. Even the dads, such as Daniel Craig, have been photographed wearing one (with baby in, of course smile ).

A sling wouldn't have spoilt the look of her outfit.

It's called a picnic. Anyway it should be a piece of cake for a yoga expert! grin

Don't women carrying babies walk on uneven ground ? What about school sports days, the park, a picnic... no I'm sorry - I disagree.

I think she looks like a million other new mums who aren't having to suffer the scrutiny of what is she wearing, what is she doing and now- plumbing the depths.... how is she holding her baby ??

^who would walk on uneven ground holding a two month

It's part of living and working in the country, Annie. Our children were brought up around horse shows, country fairs, agricultural shows etc. Meghan might be a townee but hopefully her little boy will be able to enjoy some outdoor activities.

She was out of her comfort zone, maybe but haven't we all been now and again?

merlotgran Fri 12-Jul-19 08:50:45

I previewed my post but italics not working.

Anniebach Fri 12-Jul-19 08:57:48

merlot I live in the country , went to the usual Point to Point, county shows,etc, always with a buggy when my daughters were babies. Wouldn’t even carry a two month old on a tow path.

Bridgeit Fri 12-Jul-19 08:59:01

Let’s just say it’s like being shown the last few minutes of a film, & then forming an opinion about the whole film based on the last shot.

merlotgran Fri 12-Jul-19 09:02:19

Carrying them (usually in a sling) is easier than pushing a buggy, Annie. The buggy was used for carting the picnic stuff. grin

Anniebach Fri 12-Jul-19 09:04:10

Being fair, I think she walked from the car to see the family
then walked backed to the safety of the car. She didn’t join the picnic.

Anniebach Fri 12-Jul-19 09:06:04

No Merlot, my husband carried the picnic , I never liked slings , I bumped the buggy across the field ?

merlotgran Fri 12-Jul-19 09:06:28

Oh, were you there, Annie? I didn't realise.

NanaandGrampy Fri 12-Jul-19 09:06:31

Never a truer word Bridgeit !!

merlotgran Fri 12-Jul-19 09:08:38

Yep! I'm off now. Can't be doing with a pointless argument.

merlotgran Fri 12-Jul-19 09:09:58

The cauliflowers won't weed themselves.

Unfortunately.

jaylucy Fri 12-Jul-19 09:16:14

"I don't really mean it to be" so why even bother posting ?
What is it about this woman that has people jumping up and down and making up and believing every little bit of rubbish that is printed about her? Is it because she is mixed race or because she is now part of the Royal Family? Whatever, STOP, just STOP!

Anniebach Fri 12-Jul-19 09:21:57

Please don’t shout

Gonegirl Fri 12-Jul-19 09:27:52

Oh! What would have been good - if Meghan had handed the baby to Kate to hold while she sat down, and then Kate handed him back once she was settled! That would have been a photographer's dream!!!

Sorry jaylucy, if you don't get it, you don't. x smile
