Oh my lord, there’s still no Baby Sussex. As of 7-8 am on Sunday, May 5, there’s still no Polo Baby. I’m giving up predictions at this point. I thought for sure the baby would be here by now. First babies, though. They’re almost always late. Baby Sussex is a star and he or she wants to make a big entrance though. According to Omid Scobie, Meghan is stressing about being overdue – she’s just chilling out with Harry and her mom.
As the excitement (and hysteria!) for the arrival of Baby Sussex continues to build in the town of Windsor, all is calm over at Frogmore Cottage. Sources tell BAZAAR.com that despite being past her due date, Duchess Meghan is taking pregnancy overtime in stride. “Comfortable and content,” says a friend of the mom-to-be. “She’s got this.”
With mother Doria Ragland and husband Prince Harry by her side, the source adds the three are virtually unaware of the growing media presence in Windsor. “They’re in their own bubble at the moment,” the pal adds. “Meg is with the most important people in her life … she’s calm.”
This made me remember how protective Harry was of Meghan during their South Pacific Tour, and he was basically like Peak Dad-to-Be. Imagine Harry with the baby due at any moment – I think he’s the one who’s probably a wreck, and Meghan and Doria are probably calming his nerves. “Baby, go do some yoga and do your breathing exercises” is something I imagine Meg’s said to him.
Meanwhile, because the British royal reporters truly don’t know when to stop, apparently Katie Nicholl chose the final days of Meghan’s pregnancy to tell a story about how the Queen bitched out Meghan over the subject of…eggs??
Meghan Markle received stern words from the Queen following a row over egg, a royal author has claimed. The Duchess of Sussex, 37, travelled to Windsor Castle ahead of her wedding to Prince Harry, 34, last May to test some of the food that was going to be served at the reception. Author Katie Nicholl told how the former actress had insisted on there being a ‘macrobiotic alternative’ for some of the Hollywood star guests who follow the diet which derives from Zen Buddhism.
She told Yahoo’s Royal Box: ‘[Meghan] got very upset when she felt that she could taste egg in a dish when she was told there was no egg in there, and she said, “No, I can taste it, I can taste there’s egg in this dish.” I think there was a bit of an upset when suddenly the Queen walked in, because of course, this was Windsor Castle, this is her home. And she just quietly took Meghan to the side and said, “Meghan, in this family we don’t speak to people like that”.’
I don’t understand what this fight or “row” was even supposed to be? Were there actually eggs in the dish and someone was lying to Meghan and she was like “bitch, I can taste the egg”? And was the Queen like “honey, don’t call my chef a liar” and Meg was like “but the lying bitch is lying to me about eggs”? And I have a question about the timing for this – was Meghan taste-testing the wedding reception menu and if so, why was her question of “are you sure there aren’t eggs in this dish, because I can taste them” so bad? It’s her wedding, she gets to say what should and should not be served. And if the Queen’s chef was lying to me, I would call him out on it too.

You know you are scraping the bottom of the well when the best story you can come up with involves eggs.
This Katie Nicols person is crazy but crazy people online want these stupid stories.
If only there was a juicy story about an heir to the British throne having an affair?
This is where people need to stop saying the same is done to Kate. There are no stupid stories like this in the weeks and days before she was set to give birth to any of the kids. The abuse of Meghan is non stop in the media and they look like fools. The tired narrative of uppity black woman who has an opinion and needs to be put in her place by the old white aristocracy needs to stop.
Yep. We passed the point where people could say “the same happens to Kate” in good faith a loooooong time ago.
@Nic exactly. This did not happen to Kate. The constant narrative in these stories is that Meghan does not know her place and someone – charles, Kate, the Queen – has to put her in her place.
It’s despicable.
@beli basically the day after the engagement when the negative stories continued about Meghan is when that point was passed. It was the opposite of a whitewashing, starting with the fake cost of the engagement dress in the DM that people now take at face value as part of why they claim Meghan spends too much.
Truth is spoken.
I have to ask myself, why would any reputable journalist/paper think it’s humane in any way, to publish a story like this when a woman is practically on her delivery bed?
I quite honestly can’t figure out this level of spite anymore?
“I quite honestly can’t figure out this level of spite anymore?”
As we’ve been saying for months: It’s racism. Hopefully some people will begin to better understand the issue through all of this unfortunate treatment of DoS, and start to notice and not tolerate things they see in their own lives. Heck, maybe some true rock stars will even indulge in some self-reflection and realize they’ve inadvertently been the perpetrator of these double standards and nonsense in their own lives at some point. That would be a golden lining. (Not saying you, Bella — just talking in general.)
Yes, a woman is going to have a baby at any moment and what does DM do, its scrapes the barrel for yet more malicious stories, which like all the others have been manipulated beyond recognition. Nicholl did not get her story first hand from those mentioned ie The Queen and Meghan but second or third hand sources, and then decided to twist the truth beyond recognition for the sake of her ‘book’. What more proof do we need that Nicholl is in the pocket of the Cambridge’s.
We have had so many negative stories about Meghan that have been proved untrue. I am sure that DM is making preparations right now to say as many nasty things as possible about the impending birth, the mother, and the innocent baby.
Princessk, I believe Katie Nichol’s reporting about the royal family come from nowhere but her own ass.
I think its more than racism. Its sexism also, and culture clash.
A strong confident woman powerful on her own right and who makes up her mind inside of a dusty-ass ancient monarchy which gives respect to men and has a stuffy, repressed infrastructure– well Meghan is just the opposite. Shes a california girl- independent, strong, successful and motivated. This gets praised in the US but its being bashed in the institution of the monarchy.
She doesn’t just quietly curtsy her way into the background to let the fake stars shine, she is a star herself and its disrupting the real influence and face of the monarchy and that’s never good.
Here granted at least, the Queen approves of Meghan and Harry actually loves her, compared to the situation with Diana- where she had all of the above and the support and love of no one….
This is an outright “sit down” campaign from a system that has no respect for women (except the queen) and that has a strict heierarchy which is not allowed to be challenged but I am all for it, that Meghan is just not gonna listen and will continue to stand up, but tehrefore, the hate campaign will continue as long as she is still standing. Maybe to a lesser extent, but it will stick around.
I hope she never sits down.
Don’t forget they are house shopping in LA. The stories about Meghan are so lame.
Betting has been halted on the due date because of speculation and insider goss that the birth has happened. An ambulance with a police escort seen yesterday near Frogmore and Harry’s trip away reduced to a – day visit. Face it, the babe has been born.
Uhh no. It was because they can’t afford to take anymore bets.
The ambulance is probably similar to the other one that delivers lunches.
You do understand how ridiculous both points you made sound.
Omid tweeted before that the ambulance was to deliver lunches to Windsor. Sounds crazy but he said that is common. You can search for it.
It was also reported that they suspended bets because they couldn’t afford the wages anymore. You don’t have to believe it but that is what was reported.
Why are they misusing resources like an ambulance to deliver lunches?
Omid is the press mouthpiece for the Sussexes. Either something hopefully not bad is going on or this is another case of the royals misusing resources -William using a Chinook to get to Peter Philip’s stag party.
Stupse…
Trinidad. Stupse is so Trinidad. 😊🇯🇲
Urban Dictionary: Stupse – the action of sucking air through pursed lips, also referred to as kissing air.
Is this what you mean or is there yet another definition?
Yeah Trini’s stupse or cheups all the time LOL
And I spell it steups! 😇
I loathe Katie Nicholl.
She’s like an itch that can’t be scratched.
Her and Piers Morgan should get together. She’s butthurt over the fact that Meghan has her man, and he’s butthurt that Meghan discovered what kind of worm/snake he is and ghosted him. Think of the stories those two could make up.
I know it’s PR language that everything is fine and moving along, but odd choice of words because “comfortable” at the end of pregnancy especially overdue is not a word many would use.
Nothing felt remotely comfortable past month 6 for my three pregnancies. My first was also overdue (by one week ). I was completely hysterical.
Yeah 6 and 5 days overdue for both babies, respectively and “over it” was a descriptor for my feelings, but definitely not “comfortable” 😂
I was anything but comfortable at the end—I was miserable. And each of my kids came two weeks early. I just wanted it to be over.
Early ~ lucky you minx. 🙂
My first was a solid 2 weeks late; I was borderline hysterical.
The second was induced because it was heading into the same late territory.
And then the third became an emergency C-section because of the babies irregular heartbeat.
My heart goes out to Meghan ~
I should preface with, I had a really really bad childhood, and as a result never wanted to be a mother, ever. I went to great lengths to make sure that didn’t happen. And then it did, plus I went five days over and I hated every second of it. There was nothing I liked about being pregnant. I felt trapped and resentful from the minute I found out, and I found out at 3-4 weeks along. From that moment every thought, every mouthful, every minute of missed sleep, every action was done while thinking about the presence of the baby and how he would be affected. Everything revolved around the baby and at the end of it, the promise of great pain. Still we waited another five days. It was bad for me.
I had a boy, he is 31, and he is phenomenal, kind, funny, smart, handsome and generous to a fault. He’s a hard worker, he loves animals and he volunteers. I love him more than words could ever say. I debated a second child, but the pregnancy part was so alien to me I just couldn’t do it. I envied and didn’t understand pregnant women who had bonded with their baby instantly, but I grew up unloved and tortured. I had no idea whatsoever how powerful the love for your child could be or what it was like to love someone else, to feel so overwhelmingly protective. When it came to his father, I thought I knew what love was, I wasn’t even close.
Keep in mind we do not know if she’s overdue. Sure it seems that way, but maybe not with Prince Harry’s schedule. Maybe she’s due 5/10 or something. It’s not like they announced it.
She might genuinely be comfortable! I went beyond 42 weeks and felt great (I felt awful *afterwards* but up till the induction I was totally fine).
I’m sensitive to the taste and smell of eggs and I’m pretty sure I’d say the same thing if I suspected someone was not being honest.
Most chefs are very aware of allergies and requests. They don’t sneak it in. If they said it had no egg it, I’d believe them. But if she really thought it was present asking to confirm each ingredient would be more polite than declaring “I taste it” (aka accusing them of lying to her). Different ways to approach. The Brits are less accusatory, I doubt the Queen had an issue with her asking, more of the manor she did it. Americans are more direct. I doubt Meghan has had live in staff, they’re not hired caterers for an occasion, they’re part of the royal machine so are trusted employees. I honestly don’t think it’s a big deal, it was just being more direct and the Queen gave her a tip, the press are just looking for stories where there are none.
Wow so even if we believe this scenario even happened when Nicholl has been extremely wrong in the past why assume Meghan doesn’t know how to speak to staff when they are just humans.
Whenever I see Brits accusing Americans of being more direct, overly ambitious it just comes off as so condescending when they are accusing the other party of being rude or not having *manners.
I think that the “credible” stories about Doria spending Christmas at Windsor taught us that these reports should be taken with a grain of salt.
The entire scenario that Nichols presents in her story doesn’t make sense to me. Does the Queen make a habit of wandering randomly around the kitchens? Doubtful. Secondly, I have always heard that the Queen avoids confrontations like the plague. If this situation actually occurred, I think she’d have delegated scolding Meg. Overall though I don’t think this happened.
I agree the story makes no sense at all, and seems totally made up to me. I’m not sure giving it this much time is worth these type of stories. However, the part about Brits thinking Americans are too direct and rude could be true in a general sense, and perhaps Meghan may be having some issues with this and the staff. I’m also sure there are some people who are just racist toward Meghan, some who feel she is not of the upper class and shouldn’t be there, and then the I hate Americans people too, it’s definitely a combination of a lot of things. Still these stupid stories are probably best served by ignoring them.
All she said was she could taste eggs,how is that bad.Throw her in a tower cos how dare she have complained about her wedding food
Really, I just have one question: has this poor woman been holed up (trapped) inside her house these last 5 weeks?! I’m sure Frogmore is pure lux, but still… I can’t help feeling Megs got a raw deal with this marriage.
Ummmm she’s on maternity. This is not the bad part of her marriage. Plenty of women have to work up until their due date when they would rather be at home. She’s probably decorating her brand new house.
I get that. I have two kids. But I also enjoyed going out to a coffee shop for some tea or a quick shop, just for a little something to do. I get the feeling she hasn’t left that house in 5 weeks because of the British press. For some of us, that would be awful.
She can walk around her property or go to Windsor for a chat or some tea without being hounded. I doubt she feels like a caged bird.
Many countries allow women to take time off before birth as part of maternity.
I worked up until the end because I’m in the US, but honestly would I rather have not told my boss I’m probably not going to be working tomorrow because I’m feeling cramps lol. But i only had 10 weeks, and I wanted it to be maximized with baby
In my last weeks of pregnancy there was absolutely no place I rather wanted to be than at home. Resting, sleeping, washing babyclothes, nesting. It is not burden, it is a natural place to be.
I am sure that Meghan, Harry and her mother have been out and about. During their courtship Harry disclosed that they went all over the place without being noticed. The royals know how to move around incognito if they want to.
Meghan has definitely not been confined to Frogmore for five weeks! I bet she has been out shopping and I bet she has visited London as well.
Who is the monarch in this family? Why The Queen keep letting William/Charles throw her under the bus? Tiara gate, crown jewels and now this.
Suppose this is from Cambridge (since Nichols is known as Middleton’s mouth piece) why BP do nothing about it?
How moving from KP office to BP different for Sussex? The smear campaign doesn’t stop.
To some extent the Royals are at the mercy of courtiers, who may bow and scrape but really do weild a lot of power and exploit the dependency of the Royals on them. This has been the case for centuries. I am sure TQ and Charles would like to read the riot act to certain people but they have to be careful because Palace servants know all the dirty secrets.
Great point. That’s what happens when you live a pampered life and have everything done for you—you give up your privacy and those caretakers know unflattering details about your life.
I think that in good part it is due to the Queen’s uber-delegation of matters to her staff. For decades they have been in control of so many facets of the Queen’s life that they really do believe that the Monarchy, and their positions, survive in part due to their efforts, machinations and jockeying for power. The Queen is probably so used to seeing things, from her perspective, run smoothly that she is not inclined to rock the boat. How many times have we heard over the years that she buries her head in the sand to avoid confrontation or difficult family issues?
Also, I am not convinced that the Queen has Meghan’s best interests at heart. Perhaps she is content with staff bad-mouthing Meghan. Especially after Tiara-gate.
The reporters have nothing to report on thanks to Meghan and Harry’s complete silence about their plans and they’re pissed about it. So expect stupid stories to appear in the coming weeks as “revenge”. I find it ironic that the British Media try to downplay the sussexes at every turn and rip them to shreds but are clamouring for anything remotely close to them because they refuse access and can barely tolerate them. Treat them like the minor royals you claim they are. It’s clear the the British people don’t really care that much about this birth and the media is just upset that they’re on the outs and they’re losing money from these “minor, unimportant royals”
Nope they would still write stupid stories like this regardless. It doesn’t matter at this point.
I understand that and they would’ve with or with the media shutout but it will be worse because the British Media or the tabloids are that spiteful and petty.
Agree w you Brittanie
75% of the Britist public said the Sussexes are right to keep their birth plans public.
You can see how a courtier exaggerates these stories. Like this one – it’s more likely Meghan was told that various guests have an egg allergy and she was trying to accommodate them. Just like the story about the tiara – Harry probably said something like, “If you can make it happen, that’s what she really wants.” But it gets twisted into a demand of “what Meghan wants, meghan gets!” for sensationalism.
Exactly
Anyone else get excited when they first saw this post, like oooh it’s happening? Oh. Misunderstood. 😏
I am still on the train she wasn’t that far along at the start of their tour, she’s had her 12 week scan doesn’t have to mean she was 12 weeks. Could be they did the recommended testing early to make sure she was good for the tour. That way if she needed to pull out of any events there was a reason, God knows they would have made up shit otherwise if she couldn’t attend.
Is it about the debate of tasting eggs? Or about once again trying to put her in her place? In their definition the Duchess of Sussex is a malleable product who should do as she is told: make them feel superior and sell papers. Although 75% of the British public said the Sussexes should announce the birth as they see fit. It is their baby.
If she doesn’t go into labor, eventually they will want to induce her if she is favorable for induction, it can be dangerous for a woman to go too far over her due date as well. And Megan is advanced maternal age… there’s always the chance she has a c section. Has any recent royal baby arrived via c section?
Lady Louise; if you consider that recent.
Princess Elisabeth of Belgium was a c-section (18 years ago). Princess Eugenie was an emergency c-section.
Now the Fail is claiming if Meghan doesn’t have a natural birth within 48 hours she would have to go to Finley Hospital to be induced. I was afraid of this – the press is going to imply there is something wrong because no Baby Sussex yet. I am so glad Doria is there for Meghan.
Considering that the general Q public never actually knew her due date or when the baby was conceived, it wouldn’t surprise me if she is not in fact overdue (yet). Quite frankly, I don’t know why people just assumed she was due end of April when they said the baby was due in the spring. It’s my understanding that a full term pregnancy is 40 weeks but many deliver at 38 or 39, and that generally doctors don’t like for pregnancies to go beyond 42 weeks because there is an increased risk for stillbirth. I would imagine that Meghan has a wonderful team who knows what they are doing – so if the baby isn’t here and they aren’t concerned it’s either because she’s not overdue yet or she hasn’t reached the point where they need to induce.
I agree with you. This website is guilty of the same thing… assuming they know the date of conception and then declaring the baby will be born on Easter a couple weeks ago. We just don’t know and we were never told. We don’t know that she’s overdue. These articles are posted every day speculating that the baby is already here and then when there’s no news there’s articles telling us all to calm down and stop saying the baby is here already when they were feeding into these ideas to begin with. I find it a little gross that we’re calling it a polo baby like we know anything about this poor woman’s life or when her child was conceived. Everyone needs to let it go and wait for the announcement.
I’m surprised by no baby yet because she wore an outfit that strongly implied pregnancy at Eugenie’s Wedding October 12, and she announced there to certain people that she was in fact pregnant. I assumed that it was necessary and that she Was further along than she was.
I read she told a well-wisher that she was due end of April/early May.
“when suddenly the Queen walked in, because of course, this was Windsor Castle, this is her home.”
Where was Meghan tasting the food at Windsor? In the kitchen? I can’t quite picture the Queen walking into the kitchen at any of her palaces. Perhaps , she does, but not likely. This is just another made up story full of lies to discredit Meghan.
Exactly the story is full of holes and quite implausible. The true facts of the matter have been twisted beyond recognition. Unfortunately the Royals cannot react to every bit of stupid tittle tattle, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to do anything else.
It’s preposterous when you stop and think about it. Plus the narrative is exactly the same as all the other stories – uppity outspoken American black woman needs to be schooled in the white English way of manners. Put in her place blah blah blah. I’m am so sick of this blatant lying by KN and others. They are despicable people.
“Suddenly”. Like the Queen’s movement through a building isn’t heralded by a flurry of activity preceding her. Like she’s just popping out of closets and leaping out from behind doors, all like, “SURPRISE INSPECTION, Y’ALL!!”. Look out! TQ’s hiding in the airing cupboard again! Come on now.
What a ridiculous story! A taste testing is the exact time to tell the chef whether or not the food is to the bride/groom’s liking. She knows her friends. She’s concerned about them and wouldn’t want to insult them with foods cooked with eggs. Do I believe the Queen would admonish Meghan over eggs?! Hell no! Do I think the couriers are petty little twits who would leak a story meant to embarrass and belittle the American? I sure do.
Katie Nicholl acts like she is a scorn lover. Was she in love with Harry or something. The abuse that comes from her toward the DoS is unrelenting. So much of what she writes ends up being re-printed here in the US and often it makes the Queen look racist and out of touch. But at last I think she has overstepped the mark. She writing this article when the world hasn’t seen Meghan in over a month, is due to go into labor at any moment and the article is about something that supposedly happened nearly a year ago! Most Americans can hear her dog whistle miles away (in this case an ocean away) yet the Brits remain silent and the abuse continues.
In her mind, she might have had those types of delusions around Harry. Nicholl was on the edges of their social set.
None of this is true. Nicholl is just bored and slopping the hogs with clickbait.
“Meghan, in this family we don’t speak to people like that”.’ I’m rolling! So in THIS family, it’s a definite faux-pas to assert that you are not imagining something, but it is completely acceptable to publicly shame your grandkid’s wife in front of the help after walking in at the end of a conversation? Do people actually believe this happened?
This story about freaking eggs and Meghan fighting about eggs with a 90+-year-old grandma is a combination of hilarious and sad but mostly just sad.
More importantly, I am not sure if you ladies follow GOMI blog, but women here are VICIOUS about Meghan beyond my comprehension. The last thing was mentioning geriatric pregnancy (the term itself is horrific) as a way to ridicule and humiliate Meghan. This is all getting horrific. I am so grateful for Celebitchy, seriously cool place to express your (normal, rational, human) opinions.
The term is correct. Not that it’s “nice” but it’s a medical term for anyone over 35. I know this because that was me. 🙋🏼♀️
I know it is correct. If I ever get pregnant it will refer to me as well, but it is a stupid term and to use it to insult someone is beyond awful.
They are vicious hyenas. It feels wrong just reading such vitriol. Such a pity we Americans are SO boring and have no class!
GOMI is generally one of the most toxic places on the internet, in my experience.
I’m curious if they will ever say, later, what her actual due date was? Maybe she’s due this week and isn’t even late yet? I will admit I have a mid April Birthday and really thought she would have it then. Ha! April is a great birthday month!! My own personal gripe on May: every weekend is busy! Weddings, showers, graduations, Mother’s Day, anniversaries, immediate family birthdays, Memorial Day festivities…..it’s nonstop. June is nothing for us so I’m very much looking forward to the month of nothing. Wow, I should like an old crab but I’m a home body. July is also crazy. Then August nothing. It seems to be the pattern in our lives.
Ugh at this story.
LOL, at this point, it’s beginning to feel like poor Meghan is never going to have this baby. Hopefully in the next day or two!
She’s probably not “overdue”. Her friends the Clooneys said in mid-March that she was 7 months. So she’s probably actually just due this week or next. Their baby their business. But yeah they did create this frenzy by announcing the pregnancy early AF at Bea’s wedding (LOL), and giving all kinds of round about vague timelines/due date. She’s probably just super uncomfortable right now and resting at home as much as she can before she goes into labor and baby is here!
Agreed. Wearing a pregnant silhouette at the wedding at 2 months pregnant and announcing there is what threw a lot of people off.
Such a tumblr comment. She was visibly pregnant two days later when they landed in Australia.
What’s a tumblr comment?
What!?!
Meghan said late April or early May. She was right. People don’t want to believe her.
With George they announced July and people waited for an entire month. Charlotte was also overdue so there was the same frenzy.
People have such short memories.
Why did she go on maternity leave so early if she isn’t due for another few days? Her last public engagement was on March 11th, Commonwealth Day. So almost 2 months ago.
March 19th for the New Zealand house condolence book, plus reported behind the scenes meetings with her patronages.
Meghan’s last official event was actually a meeting on March 22nd with Smart Works. So, she went out a 5 weeks before her supposed due date.
Didn’t know there was a specific date she could go on maternity. She also moved into a new house and her last sighting she was visibly swollen. I think it was an appropriate time.
I know she doesn’t have a normal job and doesn’t need normal maternity leave, but you are legally entitled to take maternity leave any time after 11 weeks before your due date here, so five weeks isn’t so crazy. (Plus at a normal job you’d start by taking all the holiday time you have left.)
Would you stop with that lie, there is no way they would tell the QUEEN about a pregnancy at a wedding.
This is when protocol comes in to play, they would make an appointment with her, and then share the news.
I am so happy she is comfortable and content especially at this stage. I’m all excited and waiting though and cannot wait to see the little cutie!
I’m just really not understanding what’s been happening. Why did they even book that Amsterdam appointment–you should be here with your wife?! And I guess I do wonder if they didn’t already have the baby and are refusing to allow photos? With the scouring they are getting from the media and the Cambridges, why should they participate in this absolute nonsense?
It was booked a year ago. I know it was because everyone was so excited about Meghan being there and possibly meeting Maxima.
Amy S announced her pregnancy right after Meghan and is still pregnant. I think there due dates are maybe around the same time.
Her recent IG post about it was funny and on point as well.
Did anyone see the story yesterday about Kate being ‘broody’ for a 4th child? There was a sentence that just had to include the fact that Meghan is 3 months older than Kate so she has plenty of time for a 4th child. Despicable.
Baby no 4 may be more of a Band aid baby because of Turnip Toff gate. I hope not.
That’s absolutely pathetic. Also in same article, it said having a 4th child at 37 will make Kate JUST like TQ because she had Edward at 37. She will not have the same role as Liz ever. I don’t even have such a bitchy imagination to spit out these sad little hit pieces.
And up thread, calling manners, ‘manors’? You made my day!
I was just mentioning this. They attacked in every way possible, now they have nothing else left, so now she is super old. Horrific.
I hope Kate has five or six more babies because it will not diminish the popularity of the Sussexes one little bit.
Windsor servant: Your Highness, the menu for Frogmore House wedding reception, created by Chef. (presents menu engraved in gold on cream card stock)
MM: Thank you. (looks over menu) Oh dear, no this won’t do at all. Ok let me put some ideas together. I’ll email them over and we’ll reconvene next week.
WS: (eyebrows raised) Certainly ma’am.
One week later….
WS (carrying silver tray full of dishes): Your Highness, a sampling of the menu items for Frogmore House wedding reception.
MM: Thank you. But, wait, these are the items from the first menu the chef submitted? Did the chef not receive my email?
Sound of crashing pans comes from kitchen.
WS: Yes ma’am. (shifts uncomfortably). I believe ma’am, these are the items Chef recommends for Frogmore House wedding reception. I believe chef has successfully made these items for Frogmore House events for several decades.
MM: But I sent recipes…?
More crashing noises coming from kitchen.
WS (giving MM a ‘significant look’): I believe ma’am, that no one in The Family has previously sent Chef recipes.
MM: Never? We’re not allowed to discuss recipes with the chef?
WS closes eyes, almost imperceptibly shakes head.
MM (examining tray again): But we need some macrobiotic and vegan options – we need at least one dish that doesn’t have meat or eggs in it…
Crashing pan noises in kitchen followed by sound of tinkling glass.
WS: Chef recommends this one… (points to an slice of asparagus with a dot of hollandaise)
MM: But that has egg in it…
WS: No ma’am.
MM: It does though, it’s hollandaise… (takes a bite to be sure) Yes, I can taste the egg….?
WS: * crickets *
MM: May I speak to Chef please?
Sound of door slamming and engine revving, followed by tires screeching on gravel.
WS: I’m sorry ma’am, I believe Chef has left for the day.
Sound of phone ringing…
MM: Oh that’s my phone…. Hello?
BP servant: Please hold for Her Majesty The Queen….
This is too funny
Just a tiny correction, the Frogmore evening reception was catered by Clare Smyth, a three star Michelin Chef.
Story on cnn.com that bookies have stopped taking bets about arrival because so many bets have come in that baby was born on Friday and is named Ivy.
Hmmm, that’s some good gossip, thanks!
I don’t see a birth that has been kept quiet. I don’t see Megs playing the game thy way. She may not be conventional, but she will certainly play some rules because like it or not, their birthright is all things Royal. And Ivy? I think she and Harry will choose very traditional names. Nothing to put there.
And I had my first in early May and we waited forever. I think it’s great the baby didn’t share any birthdays with the Cambridge Kids. This one has their own birthday and its own spotlight. Well done baby Polo, well done.
Ivy is Jessica Mulroney’s daughter so no.
Ivy is Jessica’s daughter’s name, they wouldn’t name their kid the same name. We made sure our boy didn’t have any conflicting names with friends and family. They would do the same.
Katie Nicholls is a liar. Queen Elizabeth did no such thing. This story is a complete fabrication.
Yea, I also believe the story is a lie. If it were true why wouldn’t she have been told it or filed it when it happenned , instead of waiting for a year? i suspect she content to be a conduit for the courtiers’ BS. But that isn’t real journalism.
She is as comfortable as she can be given she is 9 months pregnant with full staff to cater to her every whim. However, she is NOT as uncomfortable as most women would be who still need to work and run their own households. So I believe the ‘comfortable’ and ‘content’ description. To put it in perspective….imagine having something SOOO incredible as meeting the man and literal prince of your dreams. You are getting married and billions literally watching your every move. You are working hard to ‘fit in’ (we have all tried to fit in somewhere)…and your shady ass relatives INCLUDING one who is supposed to love you more than life itself (papa Markle) slanders you, humiliate you etc..
I can see Meghan deciding that once she was pregnant she is going to literally shut out all the bad stuff and focus on herself, her marriage and soon to be kid. That’s what I’d do if I had her money. Hell, I don’t don’t have anywhere near her money and I do that now. Sometimes you just gotta get comfortable and content control the shit you can and shut out the shit you can’t (looking at you Scammy and Papa Smirkle)
Daddy is back at it complaining he won’t meet Baby Sussex. He has five grandchildren already – two he never met and three that don’t want to have anything to do with him. And now he follows Charles online about the PoW’s activities and speeches is creepy to me given Evil Papa Smurf’s history.
Papa Smirkle gives me a serious case of ‘the yuks’. I look at him and I think and feel ‘yuk’, I need a shower kind of yuk.
I hope Meghan has something else left in her arsenal to deal a final blow to Smirkle. It is unfortunate but may be needed. The letter worked to silence him and temporarily scare him…
@intheknow – the final blow may come from William since the Times implicated him in encouraging the press in doing the Bad Dad stories. Toxic Tom not only went after Harry and Meghan but other royals too, including the queen. Wild Bill probably got in hot water with HM and is ordered to clean up the mess he made.
@aquarius64, that will be interesting to watch in a tragic sort of way. I can’t imagine a new life, new husband, new baby, new everything and having to deal with this mess.
I have just had the displeasure of hearing Robert Jobson being interviewed on the radio this morning about Meghan’s pregnancy. First of all this Jobson man complained about lack of information from the Palace, then he said that the pregnancy was not being treated like a ‘royal’ pregnancy, and that it was ‘too Hollywood’, and then his final comment was that it was taking all too long……..
Can you believe it! How nasty and unpleasant can you be, complaining that a baby is taking too long to come out of its mothers womb, because he is desperate to file a sarcastic story about the birth.
He is just as unpleasant to look at as well.
