Baby's on the way.....

Beammeupscottie Wed 08-May-19 16:54:21

Modern names for a child of a modern couple. Love them and not surprised about Harrison. Well done. They have gone up in my opinion.

Only two Christian names , unusual for the Windsors

I immediately thought of Educating Archie - wasn’t he a dummy ?

Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor

Poor Kate,

Press ‘what do you think of the new baby ?

Answer , lovely news.

Media, Kate had little to say about the new baby, seems the rift hasn’t been healed.

"Come along Gonegirl"...

gringringrin Love it!

Come along Gonegirl and cathacker, nuance is nuance. I assume you didn't really think William told Kate to shut up? For goodness sake! But he did put a fond hand on her back and guide her away. She looked troubled poor thing, probably sick of being attacked by the media and those eager to think she and Megan hate each other. Endearing to think that perhaps they DO get up in the night.

Hello grannygranby, I studied anthropology, nice to have someone else around interested in the field and in research into human behaviour. Helps you perceive nuance as well as bullshit. grin

Meghan was obviously still in some discomfort, probably post-natal pain although the stilettos were doing her no favours.
Beautiful baby and doing wonders for a British baby clothes firm.

A Fox News tv presenter referred to the queen as QE2, he seems to be confused with people and ships

GrannyGravy13 Wed 08-May-19 13:20:28

I have just watched the baby reveal Prince Harry said "he has already got some facial hair".

I think they both looked extremely happy, as expected.

How anyone can see /invent anything negative out of this short photo call I really cannot imagine.

JenniferEccles Wed 08-May-19 13:14:57

I have just seen the brief interview with Meghan and Harry showing a little glimpse of a very sweet looking baby.

The interviewer asked them who the baby looks like, and they said they had discussed that and weren't sure, and that he has changed even over just two days.

In view of that question being deemed acceptable for the tv interviewer to ask, can we please stop all these silly accusations of 'racism' directed at anyone on here who expresses interest in who he will resemble?

It is NOT racist to wonder if he will have his mother or father's colouring.

Anniebach Wed 08-May-19 13:07:04

Didn’t Harry say the baby had hair on his face ?

EllanVannin Wed 08-May-19 13:03:23

A " hairy face ?" What on earth was that photographer thinking to say that the baby had hair on it's face ? Idiot !!

grannygranby Wed 08-May-19 12:49:52

the whole notion of 'gossips' is misogynistic. Latest anthropological research shows that such talk amongst people honed civilisation, called out hypocrisy, sharpened public morals and was especially sensitive to bullshit. People who think that Les Dawson's mockery of old women over garden fence is laudable are laughable. It just shows how much misogyny women have absorbed and defend.
Bullshit is bullshit and should always be called out. To proselytise for uber natural birth and then go off to clinic for induction (babys don't have a timetable) is bullshit. Nothing wrong with having assisted birth in any way just be honest.

Pic just released. Sweet little bundle and Harry looks as if he is setting out to be a very hands-on Dad. tcrsmile

Wednesday's child is full of woe
Saturday's child works hard for a living
For goodness sake! Relax and give us a break! Seems like more than a few posters saw light of day on a Wednesday and not many noticed or cared! Never mind: 12 minutes to go and all will be revealed! wink

Gonegirl Wed 08-May-19 12:14:54

I think notentirely was putting her own interpretation on body language. grin

Mycatisahacker Wed 08-May-19 12:08:53

Yes I didn’t hear him tell her to shut up did he actually?

Gonegirl Wed 08-May-19 12:08:05

When did William tell Kate to shut up? shock

maryeliza54 Wed 08-May-19 12:00:36

No just irritation

Says she with a radical feminist huff!

maryeliza54 Wed 08-May-19 11:59:01

I don’t care ab I really don’t.

notentirelyallhere Wed 08-May-19 11:52:03

If it's Kate, well I thought she epitomised how the Royals are changing. Despite apparent massive amounts of coaching, she spoke in a slightly nervous way, embroidering and repeating herself with the clear instruction to say 'something' but to make sure it was inane. I really liked the way William looked fondly at her telling her to shut up and then he put his arm gently on the small of her back and began to guide her off screen. Poor old Royals, who'd be them.

Stylist ? To chose a dress? not for a Buckingham Palace state dinner but a walk from hospital doors to a car?
