Meghan and Harry Expecting A Baby

Meghan & Harry don't receive a fraction of the publicity that Diana & Charles received Diana was on more magazine & newspaper covers than anyone in the world - ever - even after she & Charles divorced. I liked/respected Diana but let's be realistic.

I don't understand what it is about Meghan that's annoying some people - vs Diana, Camilla, the Queen, or Fergie <<--- (a total joke) :rolleyes:

It's not like Meghan is running out into the streets begging the media to take her picture and write about her.

And frankly I don't give much of a rip what the British public says or thinks...about anything. It's a safe bet most Americans feel the same way.

I totally agree; I have no more than a passing interest. I wish them the best but I'm by no means a "royal watcher."

I don't get the whole "royalty" thing anyhow. One day you're a television actress and the next day "Your Highness?" Not in my world. :D If I were a British taxpayer, I'd be really annoyed that my tax dollars were buying Meghan's $800 shoes, etc. What a waste.

Grace Kelly was a US actress who made the transition to Princess Grace of Monaco. She did it with style and dignity.

As for the British taxpayer being out of pocket for members of the Royal Family, the Queen has foregone the income from the royal estates in exchange for annual income from the civil list. Members of the Royal Family who are on the civil list are in fact servants of Britain and do a fine job of promoting social cohesion as not politician, no matter how popular is able to do. They also earn export dollars promoting UK commerce overseas. The net result is a plus for the UK.

I hadn't heard that the baby announcement was made at the wedding. That's kind of sad in a way if true. The baby announcement could have waited a couple of days.

Where do these stories originate? This sounds like someone making mischief to me.

The announcement was not made at the wedding.
If it had, the tabloids would have been all over it.
The official announcement was made by the Palace as the couple were in flight to Australia.
 
I read on Yahoo (that bastion of journalism) that Harry & Meghan told the queen about the baby at the wedding. So no "announcement." Not sure where Yahoo procured this scoop, however.
 
Well that could be true. Why wouldn't Harry tell his Grannie the good news but I suspect that the Queen would already know all about it.
I read somewhere that snoopers would be checking out the garbage looking for discarded pregnancy kits.
At Windsor Palace ? The very idea is preposterous because the staff there would never permit such a thing to occur.
And royal wives have access to the very best specialists who are extremely discreet so why would a pregnancy kit be needed?

We all need to take gossip about the Royal Family with a large dollop of salt.
Sometimes the gossip is well founded but most of it is tosh made up to sell women's magazines.
 
Thanks, C'est Moi, I followed the link which led to the source in The Telegraph (UK).
There was another article there that referenced some sort of announcement on the day of Princess Eugenie's wedding but where it happened was still a bit vague.

If it occurred at the family reception hosted by the Queen in the afternoon, (which seems most likely because it certainly didn't happen in the chapel and Harry and Meghan did not attend the evening event for friends of the bride and groom), then it was a matter for the family. It did not seem to leak to the press at that stage so I still wonder whether it happened at all.

One hopes she is not going to be like her mother in law, never happy to see someone else.particularly a woman, the centre of attention

Well, here's one Brit that likes Meghan and I think her and Harry make a lovely couple. I think it's lovely news about the baby and I wish them all well.

Here is another Brit that likes the couple in fact I will go one step further and say all the Brits that I know like the couple and the majority of the Royal Family.
 
If Meghan's father had set out to be ghosted by his daughter, he couldn't have done a better job of it.
This young couple needs him in their lives like they need a case of the flu.

Oh! really, I am obviously more of a family person than you.
 
I don't understand why you're making this personal.

From my understanding her father is the very definition of toxic. I acknowledge that the US doesn't follow the UK royalty news closely so I may be missing something, but just prior to their wedding it would have been hard to miss the high drama with her father. Was he coming, was he not coming... So much of it became all about him.

The old saying may go, "you can choose your friends but not your family," but people are (and should be) free to disassociate themselves from people who cause them pain.
 
Just prior to the wedding, (with the exception of Meghan's mother Doria) there was all kinds of drama from Meghan's family including her father and especially her half-sister. It was crazy...cousins who hadn't been invited showing up at the airport, one cousin threatened to crash the wedding because he didn't have an invitation....puhleeze. :rolleyes:

If Meghan is ghosting the toxic people and blabbermouths who keep talking to the press and stirring the pot, I don't blame her (or Harry) one bit.

I have some toxic members of my immediate family who I don't care if I every cross paths with again. I didn't choose who to be related to. A few relatives don't understand my position, but they don't have to.
