Secondly, she is pregnant, and has been suffering from a debilitating illness associated with that pregnancy. Even if she's over the worst of it, she's probably still not feeling very well. Producing an heir is probably her main royal duty at the moment, and then she'll be expected to produce a spare. So if she is suffering because of performing this duty, I reckon she should be cut a bit of slack and allowed to rest if she feels like it.
two comments about her work and pregnancy:
1st: I understant she may not be feeling well because of her HG. I was not "requesting" that she did a lot of engagements in December and January. If she's feeling unwell, of course, she should stop. the baby is the priority as it is with every pregnant mother. But the problem with her work/appearances didn't start with the pregnancy...
2nd: I honestly hope she's better and the worst is gone by now. But in case in the future we don't see much of her and the palace says it's because of the HG, I'll start to find it all very weird, after this trip to Mustique. It'll be very dificult to explain why she can take a long flight if she's so sick.
Thirdly, what Diana did during her pregnancy is irrelevant.
Agree.
Fourthly, why should she have to be seen to be working? Some people have suggested that since she is not a full-time royal she should have kept her job and be seen to be going out to work every day till an advanced stage of her pregnancy. I ask, why? Why do most people go out to jobs? Mostly it's because they need to earn money to pay mortgages, etc. She is married to a man who is extremely wealthy, albeit largely due to an inheritance he received because of the early death of his mother, but, whatever the reason, he is very wealthy and neither one of them has the need to go out to work to pay their living expenses. However, like all people, they need something to do to keep their brains active and keep them sane, and William has to go out and do things to prepare him for his ultimate job. And both of them need to live up to the expectations of noblesse oblige.
1st: why should she have to be seen to be working? That's another thing I think is wrong with her work schedule, communication, etc. Even if she works a lot behind the scenes, what's the best thing she can do for her charities? Something nobody else can do, except some celebrity though I doubt it'd reach the same number of people? It's to appear in those charities, bringing publicity, make the issues being talked, so that people contribute to the charities, etc.
Note, that when i talk about being seen working, I'm talking about her work with charities not jigsaw and things like that.
2nd: Sure, she doesn't need to get a job to pay the bills. But when she married, she automatically got a job
She is in the envious position of being able to choose to be a stay at home mother, and she has the right to make that choice.
Is she? I don't think she really has the choice to stay at home raise children. With her "job", I don't think that's a possibility. Slow down engagements when the baby is very young, sure. But decide to be a stay at home mother, I don't think so
some posts ago, cepe raised a very good point: William may be the guilty of this situation. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and only have a final conclusion of whether she's lazy or not when they become full-time royals.
But meanwhile, I cannot stop to notice that there are some mistakes done by the couple
