Meghan holding bump?

Well that told me! It was just an observation that whenever I turn the news on or look at the papers there she is holding onto her bump, even st 9 eeeks when it was announced . Tbh I do find her irritating so maybe that’s why . As for having nothing else to think about - far from it , was just an observation I voiced

Anniebach, actually it's up to the media. I think their opinions and pressure seem to be running the country these days. Since they forced the poor young princes and their grandma down to London after Diana died. You know when the press says "Fury as x" or "Anger at y" they actually pay someone in the office to get angry or furious so that the headlines are not actually lying. After all, it's only after reading the articles that the public find out anything's happened to get angry about.

If royal protocol has to be changed it is up to the senior royals not a minor royal .

Esmerelda, seems it is your business or you wouldn’t be reading the thread and posting on it

Royal Protocol can and should change to stay in line with modern society. Somebody has to ring the changes and I don't see why it shouldn't be The DofS. It's hardly the greatest sin to hold your bump with 2 hands and it certainly doesn't make you a bad person. MM was promoted by the media as a breath of fresh air, now they seem hell bent on putting her down.

Good heavens, get a grip! There are many much more important things to worry about and if it bothers you then change your newspaper/magazine and don't scan for photos of the poor woman. Leave her alone, it's absolutely none of your business.

Lol...

Ruthiek you are echoing the exact words I spoke to my husband this morning on seeing Meghan in the Times!!

she was an actress so i do sometimes wonder if she is putting a act on when she is out and about, but as for the pregnancy . i `m quite happy to see her holding her bump

Aquamarine.
I think you're on the wrong thread. This is about Meghan Markle.
Why not look on the forums to see if there's a thread matching your question, if not, start a new thread yourself. Good luck.

There's nothing wrong with Camilla other than what is also wrong with Prince Charles. Ie they both committed adultery and divorced. I don't see why anyone should be happy for Charles to take the throne therefore, and not for Camilla to join him.

Camilla will not be Queen, she may be queen consort and should be . Megan was an American tv actress, on marriage she took her husband’s title. Kate will be Princess of Wales but never Princess Kate, same as it was with Diana.

Wallis Simpson was Duchess of Windsor, again her husband’s title.

I can’t believe so many people enjoy bitching about this perfectly attractive young woman enjoying her husband and pregnancy. Give her a break.

Should code of dress for work be ignored by one staff member ? When the royals are carrying out royal duties there has always been a code of dress . Anne doesn’t turn up in jodhpurs does she ? Yet Megan is praised for breaking the code of dress , anti royalists ?

More irritating to me is that the Queen is aging and Camilla will be the new queen, disgusting as there's no longer anything royal about being a royal...anything goes.

So many people mention that Meghan is “ acting”. Acting, as in “being a pregnant lady”? Acting, as in “being in love with her husband”? Acting, as in being a young fashionable woman?
How are you supposed to behave in these circumstances? Are there rigid rules? Don’t smile or look happy? Don’t give anyone a hint that you’re in love? Dress like an old woman? Wear the baggiest loosest clothes so that people aren’t offended by your swelling stomach? Above all, don’t look as if you’re acting, especially when walking, talking or just standing still?

Not interested in royals. Why ARE so many people.
Yet you took the time to open a thread that was clearly about them AND THEN stayed to comment....

anniebach thanks for your reply - that is fair enough

Not interested in royals. Why ARE so many people.

P.s. there arent THAT many pictures, more the same pictures repeated across lots of press and social media sources.

GabriellaG54 So you are a Royal Etiquette expert then ? Have I seen any of your works ? Can't see how you can say she flaunts her hold over Harry - they're newly weds with their first child on the way - sounds like jealousy to me. My husband was equally solicitous during both my pregnancies and also held my hand carefully after my recent cataract op - it's what caring couples do . Seems there's a lot of B&T people on this thread

I can’t believe that someone would criticise a pregnant woman stroking her bump. Im definitely not a royalist but find this comment bizarre! Leave the girl alone. I’m sure she doesn’t want all the attention either.

I must admit she really annoys me, she seems to have substituted the constant hand holding for bump holding, neither of which looks entirely normal to me. I think she had landed the biggest acting role of her life! Its all me me with her. Feel sorry for Harry.

I heard Feb. The bump is certainly big...

I think tight clothes during pregnancy a most unbecoming look, also an unsuitable one for working women. MM will of course wear what she likes, but she doesn't seem camera shy so I see no reason why others shouldn't comment. I also think the touching and hugging an affectation in the early stages. I thought this baby was due in April (?)
