It's a .................... .

It would no worry me one bit if there were no photos or public appearances, but why the need to make negative judgements?

Totally agreed Day6.

I think they just didn't want the bank of press and royal watchers outside the hospital. I don't believe a home birth was ever planned.

I agree with that AB. It's got silly now.

I dislike attention seeking celebrities and regret the loss of dignity which this royal family always shows in public

I do too Annie.

If the royals (and Harry is still a top drawer royal, given Charles is his father) are going to behave like celebrities and flaunt their position, wealth, privilege, politics (this is a new one!) as well as getting down viv da kids, they won't last long.

Strangely, to hold their position, they need to have mystique. (IMO) They aren't like the commoners, their lives bear no comparison, so trying to toady up to their "fans" just won't work.

Get into your gilded cage and disappear. You aren't like us. Meghan's experience of motherhood will be nothing like any other first time mother's (except Kate's The Queen's etc.) as a couple they will not experience the hardship, slog, screams, sleepless nights, nappies and fears new parents face, so I cannot understand the gushing from the public.

I am happy the birth went well and mother and baby are OK. I am not happy with the media frenzy or the way in which we have our Royals served up to us these days, aided and abetted by them and their Instagram accounts!

Blimey - one cannot plan for a revolution and a Republic given all the baby fuss!

Bridgeit just read your reply to my post about some royalists adoring the couple. Do you not see ? The public have played no part in this circus , it has all been from the couple, either choose to keep everything private or public, the rest of the family have managed to do so. Even the media are being played by this carrot dangling.

I am pleased mother and baby are apparently doing well.

It seems they can't win - they were criticised for saying there would be no announcement, probably rethought that so made an announcement, and are criticised again. I think they were still hoping for a home birth but because she was overdue she was taken into hospital - if they had announced that they would have been accused of attention seeking!

When photos are released there will, no doubt, be more criticism about posed photos (aren't all royal photos posed?)

If unwarranted spitefulness is acceptable then I make no apologies for my criticism of those who choose to be so.
As mother & grandmothers we should set a better example .

Bridgeit I have made my replies perfectly clear , you criticise posters for criticising,

Well said Day6

I cannot take to Meghan, and I know I am not alone, but querying the baby's genetic make-up and looks (and skin colour!) is deplorable.

He is a new born baby boy, with parents who love him and each other very much, whatever we think of the Royals. Give him (and them!) a chance!

If they adored this couple they would leave them alone, adoration can be selfish & dangerous

Annie , you are just not making any sense in your replies to me.

My sympathy lies with ardent royalists who genuinely adore this couple.

The birth of a child is a joy , not something to use for attention .

To announce ‘there will be no announcement’ , then hours after the birth to ask for tv cameras for a speech to be made.

Yes I have been critical , not bitching , I dislike attention seeking celebrities and regret the loss of dignity which this royal family always shows in public.

The place. Not the baby.

Yeah. Maybe. Ignore me. (But why are they still keeping it under wraps? )

My darling daughter-in-law was scheduled for a home birth, midwife was with them, they still ended up in hospital. Why on earth does it matter where the infant was born?
None of us know the circumstances of her labour nor are we entitled to.

Now they're saying "we don't know" (where it was born)

Ridiculous.

What a nasty thread this is. Vicious. They are a young couple who have just had their first baby. I am not a royalist but I wish them and all other new parents well. A few of you need to take a good look at yourselves.

And I'm a royalist. Or was.

That's just deceitful. Silly spoilt brats.

So they've just said on the news that the baby was born in a posh hospital in London. The Portland. Why did they mislead everyone into thinking it was a home birth at Frogmore.

Losing patience with 'em now.

Bridgeit* still more criticism , rather hypocritical

Maxdecatt never address me in such a foul post again.
