Does anyone know off hand when the pregnancy announcement was? I think Meghan looks about 8 months/36 weeks there? Could be good for early to mid-April after all.
Both the royal couples look lovely in the photos above.

The necklace with the initial “W” for William is so hilarious. Love it!
The stories of the lives but overcoming. Using drugs as a child but overcoming.
I wonder how Kate and William feel after leaving the poverty?
I taught children who were homeless. Seeing their living situations was so intense I retired early because of the stress of trying to help with impossible situations.
I could leave . They got to live their hardships 24/7
The homeless have such an uphill filled with landmines battle.
The Royals seem to be filled with empathy and decorum. It is refreshing to see that .

Meghan and Harry announced that they were expecting at Princess Eugenie's wedding on October 12, 2018. Media reports indicated that Meghan had already had twelve-week scans.
Thanks! Probably in the 33 t0 36 week range, then?

I love Kate's peacock dress. She really is a stunner!

Royals on high alert over online abuse of Meghan Markle
Royal family has issued social media guidelines
Britain's royal family is beefing up its social media operation amid a rise in racist online abuse targeting the Duchess of Sussex in the months after the announcement of her pregnancy, sources have told CNN.
Kensington Palace staff are devoting more resources to deleting comments targeting Meghan, and blocking abusive Twitter and Instagram accounts. Software is being used to filter out the use of the n-word as well as emojis of guns and knives...

I don’t know how effective this is going to be in stopping the online trolls. I don’t know why they don’t just turn the comments off. I imagine they want to continue to encourage communication between The Royals and the public because it helps maintain public enthusiasm for the Monarchy but I don’t know how long they can continue deleting every nasty comment.

Hope you're feeling better!
I'm enjoying the 50th Anniversary of Charles investiture. The history is so interesting. Didn't realize it was Lord Snowdon who designed the ceremony at Caernarfon Castle in Wales. Beautiful ceremony they had there in the seat of King Edward's kingdom!
Caernarfon Castle
There are so many ancient castles in Wales. I hope to visit some of them on my next trip.

Love her coat and hat. I think a different colored dress would have been better.
The Royals are a class act. So refreshing. I feel joy when I look at them. Hope for humanity
We talk a lot about what the royal women wear, but we rarely mention the men. Still I couldn’t help but notice what Harry was wearing yesterday. He usually dresses impeccably but yesterday his jacket didn’t fit well and was rumpled. His outfit was completely gray from his tattered coat to the saggy knees of his jeans. And who couldn’t notice the scuffed shoes he wore?
Posing as a common man but not convincingly he was every bit a prince from head to toe. But, “Nice try,” Harry.

I really had to look at the floral pattern, but there is a hint of orange in the flower. Would like to see the dress....maybe one day.

I do not like this outfit at all. The dress is too short to be worn with spike heels and no tights. It does not look classy. Some opaque black tights and a chunkier shoe would have looked far better.
Edit: Also I'm a big believer that if your jacket/blazer can't actually fasten up, don't wear it.

Aaahhhhhggghhh. Especially if you’re going to pay that much for one. Do they not make maternity blazers? She could literally have any clothes she wants so why not purchase items that fit. No doubt there’s a women’s shelter or assistance group somewhere that would welcome donations of slightly used maternity clothes.Meghan Markle joins Annie Lennox for International Women's Day event | Daily Mail Online

And also? When your dress is that short, and you’re sitting in front of a crowd and know you’re being photographed for literally all the world to see, be careful how you’re sitting.
And another also? How can she sit like that at 8 months pregnant?
All that said, the black & white print is very striking on her. It’s a good look. I just wish it fit.

I don't think it's necessarily sexist, but IMO, it is kind of disrespectful. Women have been working late into their pregnancies since the beginning of time.
