The baby is likely really active one. I know with my last pregnancy the shape of my tummy shifted like crazy. He was a very busy baby boy. Before and after birth lol

Demi Moore made pregnancy normal.

Instead of wearing the mu mu, mothers get to wear whatever they want.

Meghan is so tiny what fit last week probably does not fit the next week.

She is a darling woman. I wonder if she will walk out of the hospital thin like Kate. How do they do it!

The Duchess of Sussex was the picture of elegance in a Calvin Klein dress as she joined Prince Harry at the Natural History Museum on Tuesday night.

Meghan, 37, and Harry, 34, who are expecting their first child together in April, are attending a gala performance of The Wider Earth, a play about a young Charles Darwin's expedition on HMS Beagle.

The mother-to-be plumped for a cream roll-neck dress by Calvin Klein and a £895 coat by royal favourite Amanda Wakeley. She teamed finished the look with a pair of suede olive pumps and a matching clutch.

I like this look too. The coat is gorgeously simple and elegant. I love the high neck of the dress; it really frames her face nicely. And her hair looks pretty with that sideswept fringe. The dress is modern and simple and easy and the olive suede accessories keep the outfit looking wintry. Altogether a much better evening look than the black skirt/white shirt mess of last week.

I'm all for the bold belly. Meghan's not a shy, demure woman.

AND then there’s Diana.

AND then there’s Diana.

So precious, such a happy glowing mom, and mom to be. William has teased Harry a bit about this photo. There were almost no photos published when she was pregnant with Harry compared to William.

Maybe she was too tired with a toddler to worry about photo ops.
Wasn't she beautiful?
Just my opinion, but I do believe Charles loved her and she loved him as well. She spoke to Andrew Morton about wanting to have a baby girl with Charles and had hopes for it up until the interviews they each gave which were just ghastly..

I know it doesn't matter, but I'll never forgive Camilla for her gigantic role in causing unhappiness and deep insecurity in Diana's mind. She couldn't keep his heart with her after Harry was born. She talked about that as well, as I'm sure most everyone knows. She's said that they were in love and happy until just after Harry was born. She thought Charles was unhappy because he had red hair and was another boy, in addition to the sluttiness of that woman.

One of the most authentic and not overly dramatic biographies about Diana quoted her as saying Charles was the love of her life, regardless of how their marriage ended, deep feelings remained. I believe that's true, and I wondered if he was able to just forget about her and go on with that woman.

Seeing him arrive in Paris to be with her remains alone right after she died, I believed he had still loved her as well. It was said he wailed in grief and wept over her body. You can't fake that.
He didn't have to go to Paris at all. I think it finally dawned on him that they'd never be a family again, and he had deep sorrow and regrets. Also a heavy heart for William and Harry, without their mother.

She left us too soon, but while she was here, she was a bright shining star in the midnight sky.

Demure Duchess! Kate is the epitome of royal chic in a VERY prim tweed two piece teamed with a bouncy blow dry as she visits mental health conference

Beautifully said my friend.
How could Camilla ever be queen?

George Clooney Meghan Markle Interview - George Clooney Says He's Not Royal Baby Godfather

"I do want to say, I just saw this piece," he reportedly mused. "They're just chasing Meghan Markle everywhere, she's been pursued and vilified. She's a woman who is seven months pregnant and she is being pursued and vilified and chased in the same way that Diana was, and it's history repeating itself."

 

[sassyblue]

So if she is 7 months pregnant now I am going with a birth date of April 15 and I think it will be a boy.

Why Meghan Markle's Father May Have Just Ruined Their Relationship For Good | Xfinity

For too long Meghan Markle has served as the world's punching bag.

While there is certainly a large camp of people praising the new Duchess of Sussex for her authenticity, her efforts to modernize the monarchy and, yes, her knack for putting together a designer ensemble, since her May vows to Prince Harry it has almost become sport to pick her apart. Royal watchers have criticized everything from her lack of pantyhose to her supposed request to wear a particular emerald tiara on her wedding day...

The Hollywood star said the way the tabloids have treated Meghan Markle is reminiscent of Princess Diana, and "history is repeating itself."

What an a-hole her dad has turned in to. Like more than a few people, I suspect he didn't have any heart surgery right before the wedding. There's been some coverage of those suspicions in the media too - I'll try to find a link. Anyway, he made his bed with the staged paparazzi photos. Since then, he and Samantha have gone to great lengths to deflect attention in any other direction than their own accountability in this sad situation.

If he truly loved his daughter he would make a brief statement to the press that he's sorry for his part in the fractured relationship and hopes to repair it in privacy, away from media, and he will be giving no more statements to the press. Period. Full stop.

All above IMO.

I agree but then his and Samantha’s money source (income) would dry up. This is money from talking to media.

If the queen disapproves wouldn’t she dress the belly more modestly? If I was pregnant today vs twenty or thirty something years ago I’d totally wear the tight belly hugging tops that women wear now. Omg those ugly 80s maternity tops/tents

I actually think this is one of her better choices. I don't mind seeing her outie BB - I wonder if it bothers the
queen, tho.

MOO, but I don't think MM cares too much about what the queen thinks.

 

[1&2&3]

Meghan Markle has always said she did not trust her father to have a private meeting with him as she feared he would repeat every word to the press.

While many thought she was wrong and should give him a chance, it appears her intuition was correct and she made the right decision in not meeting with him.

If Mr. Markle really wanted a reconciliation with Meghan and was truly sorry for the chaos he had caused with the fake pictures he had taken of himself, he has now lost any hope to be a part of her life! He is acting like a two year old who doesn’t get his way so he plays “ pay back time”. This kind of reaction didn’t just start at 70+, Meghan has grown up with it. Poor child, what a life she grew up in. She did reach out and make something of herself.
