They haven’t lied about her due date the first two times, don’t think they’ll start now. And she was bigger with George and Charlotte before she went on maternity leave, so I believe she really is due in April. She looks about right for being 7 months along.
I expect her last official engagement will be March 17th for St. Patrick’s Day.
If she is feeling ok, we might see her going to church for Easter on April 1st if they go to Windsor again, but driving in a car.

Uh, you said she was due in the next 4 weeks, which would make it March 20th at the latest. And the official announcement said April. How is that not saying they lied about her due date

I'm disappointed in the press, there isn't a single mention or image of Princess Beatrice, other than the one small Twitter video by Rebecca English. Why shouldn't it be discussed that she attended as well?

Because the media and royal watchers dream came true; Catherine and Sophie attending an event together. Folks have been waiting for these two to do something together for seven years. They provided the money shots and focus.

Beatrice was placed on the back burner.

Nice to see the three of them together though. I enjoy seeing that.

Not surprising Sophie was the best at meet and greet's really. She's been doing this for nearly 20 years as an HRH and was a PR woman before hand. This is her bread and butter essentially. Catherine definitely appears to be relaxing into the role over the last few years but she may not ever be as comfortable as Sophie at it. Some people are just better at meeting strangers than others.

It is always nice to see all three women together. It'll be nice to see Meghan attending these things in the future. I look forward to the day we see Camilla, Sophie, Catherine and Meghan doing a joint engagement.

Buckingham Palace tweeted a photo of Beatrice as well.

Pranter · #**570** 02-20-2018, 03:40 PM

It was hosted by Kate and Sophie..not Kate, Sohpie and Beatrice. Naturally the focus was on the ladies hosting.

It was a public engagement and so public precedence applied - and that was seen here quite clearly.

Imagine if the Queen or Camilla had been there - would they have been pushed back behind the 'hosts' - no - public precedence would apply.

We have seen that often enough when the Queen has been hosted somewhere by Charles - Charles didn't take precedence over his mother as the host but took his precedence from the public precedence he holds.

[Not sure if right thread]

According to the government, no member of the BRF is to attend the 2018 World Cup in Russia following the most recent diplomatic spat with Britain.

wyevale · #**579** 03-14-2018, 01:49 PM

It was inevitable that the Duke of Cambridge would no longer attend the World Cup in Russia, after the [inevitable] conclusion that agents of the Russian State have attempted to murder a British citizen [and his daughter] on our Sovereign territory, using Nerve agents outlawed WORLDWIDE, and manufactured in the Russian Federation.

I think it is possible that Britain may invoke article 5 of the NATO treaty [that an act of aggression against one, is aggression against ALL], and that therefore a boycott of the World Cup, by participating Teams [not merely by officials and dignitaries], is a distinct possibility.

Pranter · #**580** 03-14-2018, 02:08 PM

Heard the story today...21 folks are in the hospital and no one knows if they will survive??

Seems like the PM came just short of invoking article 5 ...Putin was sure quick to toss down the nuke threat.
