I promised a Cinco de Mayo quiz if there was no Baby Sussex today. Of course, there are 24 hours during which the Royal baby could arrive, but have fun with this Mexican food quiz while we wait Every time I look at a clock, I automatically add 5 hours for London time

QUIZ: How Much Do You Really Know About Mexican Food? | Recipes

Scored 10-Mexican Food Boss (Helps that I speak Spanish fluently and live next to Mexico)

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

Not likely!! She hasn't live in California for quite some time. She was working in Toronto for a number of years.

Meghan and Harry would be hunted - and haunted - by her estranged family members if the couple moved to L.A. I doubt the Queen would allow Baby Sussex to live in the U.S. unless the Duke and Duchess relinquish their titles.

 

[sassyblue]

I also scored 10. I don't speak Spanish fluently and no longer live near Mexico but I do love Mexican food!

 

[The Farm]

I scored a 7 and even guessed at a few. Not very versed in Mexican food.

The security costs/logistics would be a nightmare. At the very least, the child would have 24/7 one on one security as would Harry.

Cant imagine the costs, alone.

Sigh... anything to sell newspapers.

Whenever I see the words "source", especially "a close source" I think of that psychic who picks up information from dogs. The "close source" could have been one of the "sources" from the dog park.

 

[JDG]

I prefer my stodgy British foods.

The Quiz wouldnt let me in, cause I don't allow ads. ah well, I don't know much about Mexican food.

That was a strange turn of events at the Kentucky Derby but I think they made the right call. When the videos were shown, it was pretty clear cut.

 

[JDG]

As for baby Sussex, I wouldnt be surprised to hear that Meghan was in the Portland or Lindo wing for the birth.
I'm sure they can accommodate a Royal lady, even if she did not pre-book.

If there is any 'risk', large or small to a Royal baby, the Royal physicians take over.

Nothing wrong with Frimley Park, they did a marvellous job with saving Sophie and Lady Louise during that emergency.

WTF was Angelina thinking...

I'm shocked - scored 8 - know squat about Mexican cuisine LoL
Some of it sound delicious, now I need to find a local Mexican place.

Your post made me smile. Makes me wonder what constitutes a "source"?

Where on earth did they pull this "source" out of? A bog somewhere?

They always mention " a source", sometimes even "a close source" which, to me, is someone who has been living in their garden/garden shed. "Close" enough!

It's difficult to figure out what to believe about her in the news media. She's experienced at doing her own PR, so she does anonymously plant a lot of stories in regular and social media through friends and on her own. She did this quite a bit before she married Harry. Then gossip media begins planting similar stories, so it's difficult to tell planted truth from fiction.

End result is that a lot of people are losing interest in their story. What's the word they used? Media overexposure? They're moving into Kardashian territory now, where most normal people ignore the news about them, but the gossip crazy fans still read. IDK, but I don't think that's the image the BRF wants to project. Myself, I've pretty much lost interest in their dramas.

I lost interest in the Megan/ Harry/ baby drama a few weeks ago. LOL.

I just read that Kim Kardashian make $1 million for each of her instagram posts.

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

Whether deliberately planned or not, the baby drama is becoming ridiculous!

But for checking this thread multiple times daily, I wouldn't know WTH is going on with the Royals

To be honest I only come here for the banter

 

[gregjrichards]

Meghan Markle is enjoying a "love-filled time" and has "felt so much compassion" from members of the Royal Family as she waits to give birth to her first child, a friend has claimed.

The Duchess of Sussex is now thought to be a week overdue and is expected to give birth any day now.
