Harry and Meghan prepare for arrival of their baby

Good Morning Britain videojournalist Rav Vadgama has shared this footage of a coach heading in the direction of Windsor Castle under police escort:

That's me guys... waving out the window on the bus. JK. I wish! Hahah

How else are they going to get there?

Uber?? Lyft?? London Cab??
ETA: perhaps by coach, the one with the police escort!

 

[they'll get you]

What gene would be more dominant?
AfricanAmerican or a red head?
Just wondering as it will be interestingly cute.
I said ‘it’ as it’s gender neutral, if that’s the politically correct term.
Or it it a shim?
I’m confusing myself.

The Queen - then Princess Elizabeth - was born by Caesarean section in 1926.
But the surgery took place in her grandparents' home in Mayfair, rather than in a hospital.

I had another dream about the Royals and thought there might be some baby news this morning. DH and I are "welcoming" a new furnace today. After 26+ years, we figure the original furnace is probably on its last legs, so we're being proactive and replacing it so we don't get caught without heat during a future winter.

Off topic I know, but I can't stand those harpies on Loose Women, they make my blood boil!

There’s one born every minute
(unless your a royal)

I'm just catching up but have to say this really did make me lol

I think Sussex's are in danger of annoying the public if they're going to be secretive. It's a fine line for them between privacy of their home life and publicity for their charity work.

Exactly, I really don't get it?
It's not like she having it in a hospital slap-bang in middle of the city where the press & cameras would be camped outside waiting
She got as much privacy as it gets & can stay 'home' (& baby) hidden as long as she wishes!

You never know how the chromosomes mix. But the babe won't be lost in the crowd of other royal tots...I believe that Meghan straightens her hair. We have not seen many pictures of her as a child.

Childhood photos of MM. She definitely had curly hair.

A C-section at home in 1926 ! The mind reels

They didn't even have blood transfusions or fetal heart monitoring during that time.

Or birthing tubs; the current birth-chic must-have

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".'

10. Secret scans
In 1984, Diana knew Prince Harry was going to be a boy following a scan.
But she did not tell husband Charles, fearing he wanted a girl, and kept the news secret throughout her pregnancy.

I fee so sorry for Diana, and for all women who have to conceal information about the child they carry from the father, fearing the father will be displeased.

I know Charles has had a bit of a pardon from the hideous way he treated Diana and Camilla is now accepted, but I think he exposed a very arrogant, deceitful, and brutal part of his character. I will never really respect him

I just have to say about Harry...

He apologized for his past behaviors
He’s allowed his mistakes as we all are as once being young. He unfortunately had his blazoned by ruthless press as usual.
He went into the military and became an outstanding active service member for 10 years
Started the Invictus Games for wounded soldiers
He is bar none to me, by far no “privileged wimp”
Quite the opposite. Read up on Harry. Watch some interviews. He impresses the hell out of me. Privileged he would admit too, but he knows it and uses it for good.

We all have tragedies in our lives, yes, his was on a worlds stage at age 12. Forced to walk behind his mothers coffin one week after her death for all the universe to watch. 1 week before his own 13th birthday. How damn traumatic, I couldn’t imagine.

This beautiful boy will be a dad within days; can we not give him the graciousness of some privacy and human respect at one of the utmost life changing times of ones life?

Post of the day! Just lovely

Same. I'll never forgive him for treating Diana like that.

I'm not sure what the press wants right now. Do they want to know if she has dilated, dilated at all and if so how many inches???

I do find this believeable, but after all I'm not a MM fan
