The D. And D. Of Sussex In The News Again.

So Charles didn’t know the sex of the baby before it was born!

Two of our children’s ages are between the princes and scans were not as accurate as they are nowadays

The royals don’t do NHS, I doubt they abide by NHS

Anniebach neither did we due to “complications”

Ok GrannyGravy

Two of my adult children were born the same years as William and Harry. I had endless scans with the older one because of complications. Our hospital policy at that time was to refuse to tell you whether you were having a boy or a girl. I expect if I'd be in the RF they may have relented.

I am sure they would have relented and possibly the scans could have been carried out at a late date

I read in The Telegraph that Diana knew she was having a son but that she didn't tell Charles (who presumably didn't accompany her to the scan) because she knew how much he wanted a daughter, and she thought that once he saw his lovely baby boy he would relent..... but apparently he didn't, because Diana's mother later said that he even brought up the subject on the day of Harry's Christening which she thought was insensitive.

I can't find the Telegraph article now but this one says much the same thing.

Do not believe her sorry. She said - he said, she said - her mother said.

Even HER versions dont paint her well

She deliberately let him think he might be having a girl when she knew he wasnt???

Considering she threw herself down the stairs during her first
pregnancy I am surprised she was able to keep medical records a secret on the second pregnancy.

I cannot recall one member of the Spencer family speaking to the press during or after the marriage.

I knew you wouldn't believe it Annie, but as you were persisting for days in wondering about scans/sex of baby, I thought I'd help you out.

I'm out of here now.

Thank you Sparkle

Sorry Annie, I'm back because I forgot to say that I don't believe Diana did throw herself down the stairs during her pregnancy. Were you there, or are you just believing what you heard from the media?

She said she did Sparkle not newspaper reports . her book .

I doubt she did but I posted it because it was she not the newspapers said it, the newspapers then wrote about it after her book was released.

But I thought you said that nothing Diana said could be believed?

Because I quote her it doesn’t mean I think she is speaking the truth .

I don’t believe she threw herself down the stairs, I quoted it because of her claims she kept the scan a secret.

She told so many lies, you Sparkle refuse to accept she did.

She said , on tape, her family didn’t support her after the divorce, they didn’t love her, yet her one sister acted as lady in waiting for a while after the divorce.

I really don’t understand how all the hurt she caused people is
excused , she was very self centred .

What nonsense you talk Annie.

You keep making assumptions about me and I've pulled you up on it before. I do not refuse to accept Diana told any lies. Please don't speak to me like you have above. I do not think she was a saint. Please don't keep accusing me of these things just because I am showing her compassion. I would show this compassion to anyone. She had an eating disorder, she was mentally unwell, I think we should be kind.

I don't expect you are perfect either, Annie. You may well have caused hurt or been self centred. I'm sure we all have at some time in our lives.

Prince Charles is very self centred and has caused a lot of hurt, so has Camilla - I don't know why you keep singling out Diana and being so judgmental - or why you keep picking on me.

Sparkle do not try to ‘pull me ‘, .

I do not ‘pick on you’ I reply to your posts.

Some of us chose not to have scans in the 1970s, 80s and 90s - and some who did have scans chose (or weren't given the option) to not find out if it was a boy or a girl.

Have you noticed how Harry and Meghan have a rather strange way of holding Archie? They protect his head as though it's likely to fall off but he's five months old now and will be supporting his own head.

Yep! I've noticed that. First baby syndrome?

Definitely "First Baby Syndrome" very similar to "Grandma Syndrome"

Oh merlotgran, I do enjoy your posts but will try and avoid the anti Meghan and Harry threads henceforth. (did you see that, I'm talking Dickens , which can only be because this is a Royal thread)
