A number of sites are now reporting that a private ambulance was seen driving through Windsor with a police escort. They seem to have picked it up from a tweet by a BBC presenter.

BBC presenter Simon McCoy has now reported seeing a private ambulance with police escort near the grounds of Windsor Castle, sparking speculation that Meghan has gone into labou

However, they also say this:

ITV’s Royal Editor Chris Ship cast doubt over the news, however, as he claimed that an ambulance for Meghan would "never go through the front entrance".

Eugenie was married on October 12, 2018. Meghan and Harry announced that they were expecting following the nuptials. When the pregnancy was made public, reports indicated that Meghan had already had 12-week scans. At a Christmas event on December 19, Meghan told well-wishers who asked when the baby was due that "we're almost there". How could she be "almost there" last December but hasn't delivered as of May 2?

Oh dear I hope all is ok with whomever that ambulance is for.

I hope the ambulance is for Meghan! Ready to see the little bundle

I have a kindle and I luv it for travel. I had 4 books read while on winter vaycay. 4 books in a suitcase adds weight=$. I like it for travel and sometimes on the deck. I do pick up a book once in awhile as I miss the feel of a book in my hands. I wonder if Meghan is as impatient as we are LOL I am still going with Saturday. Our Daughters Birthday is May 10 so that's an option.

I never dreamed I would like a Kindle.

But, you can adjust the size of the text and it is backlit for night so I can read without bugging my husband. I have the Kindle app on my iPad.

Kid’s books are different because of the illustrations, Some have textures and fold outs and pull outs

If I counted correctly, tomorrow will be 29 weeks from when PH and MM announced the pregnancy. If she was 12 weeks then, baby Sussex should be here any minute now.

Yes you can adjust the text I was told by a friend. I am finding some of the print in books so small that even with my reading glasses it is still hard and many times I have given up on very thick books because it will just take me to long to get through them because of that. I always try to get the large print but the books are limited. I can't seem to make the leap to Kindle.....lol

“Britain's Prince Harry is collaborating with Oprah Winfrey on a new television series tackling the issue of mental health.

The multi-part documentary series, which will air on the Apple TV platform in 2020, was co-created and produced by the Duke of Sussex and Winfrey.”

Prince Harry and Oprah are making a show about mental health for Apple TV - CNN

Apple will be paying Oprah a lot of money to be involved in this documentary involving Prince Harry. She is not doing it for free.

Right, and Oprah has done similar things with other celebrities in the past. Calling OPRAH a "social climber" using Prince Harry for financial gain is absurd. It is surely the other way around. Prince Harry likely wanted an established broadcaster with a significant media empire to assist him with his project.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Duchess of Sussex and Baby Sussex May everything go well.

Oprah says she’s proud of Meghan Markle for breaking royal traditions and for ‘standing up for what she wants’

Oprah 'proud' of Meghan Markle for ‘standing up' against Royal traditions

Oprah Winfrey has supported Meghan Markle in her decision to break royal protocol by opting to keep the birth of her baby a secret.

The US talk show host said she was impressed by the Duchess of Sussex's courage in choosing not to pose for pictures straight after the birth.

Oprah reveals what public don't know about Meghan Markle - and why she's 'proud'

Oprah Winfrey reveals what she really thinks about Meghan Markle's private birthing plans

Oprah Winfrey reveals what she really thinks about Meghan Markle's private birthing plans

This is just some of the articles about what Oprah thinks about the Duchess of Sussex in the last few days. Someone needs to tell her that friends of the royal couple do not talk to the press about them ever or if they do they don’t stay friends for long.

Oprah is not all bad but sometimes you get the impression as I do here that she uses her connections for publicity which I do not agree with.

I agree Bravo but paper books seem to be going to the wayside and it is all Kindle now. I still go to the library and can not seem to give them up. Luckily small children still do look at books and are one of the best gifts in my opinion.

Merely having to hold the book and turn the pages creates better dexterity with children also.

It went in the front entrance. Anything for Meghan would never go that way.

Do you know what he means by the front entrance?

Whooa...
Am I the only one here who this ^ ??

His age looks really good on him. Actually, I feel like he's better-looking now than at any other time in his life.

Photo of Frogmore Estate I’m not sure where the front entrance is. I think the private ambulance would be more concerned with getting in the estate quickly than what entrance it used.
