Well those royals sure don't waste anytime. Only been married for barely a year. I couldn't do it, enough married life before adding kids to the mix. (IMO) But i guess they have nothing better to do, and won't take care of the kids anyway.

They're actually late in getting pregnant.. usually there's a pregnancy before the 1st anniversary.

ehhh...I'd go for usually there's a pregnancy announcement before the 1st anniversary. and that depends on the family.

They got married over eighteen months ago. That's not soon at all, considering their position and age.

They have been together forever. A lot of people who wait that long before getting married plan to have kids right away.

maybe they're trying to pop one out before the queen croaks...she's like 90 or something right

they've been married for over a year, and they've been together for a looooong time. and fyi, Diana actually raised her kids and refused to have nannies with her kids all the time, so I probably think this is the route that Will and Kate are going to take as well

tbh very late preg for royal status, it usually they go pregs before the 1 anniversary even better for royal status if they get pregnant after the honeymoon

Most people I know atm are getting married to have kids. They've been with their partners for years and then get married and months late, baby.

ugh they have been together over a decade. its not like they met in 2010 got married in 2011 and now are having a baby

No way that kid's first name is going to be Diana. The Queen would shit a brick if the next monarch is Queen Diana.
magyargirl3 3rd-Dec-2012 07:42 pm (UTC)
But the next monarch will be Charles...unless he abdicates, that is (unlikely, imho).

i wouldnt be surprised if he died before her TBH.

hmm if i was royalty with twins i wouldn't tell anyone who was born first and then watch them grow. Whichever is more fit to rule would be king/queen. & i would just fudge the birth certificates.

the tabloids were right for once???

If by "right" you mean "reporting it since they married and finally got it right," then yes. XD

HG is a very good sign of a girl, by the way. I don't quote science as much as I quote my own observations, having had it with girls and NEVER with boys.

piratesswoop 3rd-Dec-2012 06:19 pm (UTC)
i kind of hope it is a girl, this will mean at least six of the ten remianing european monarchies will have a reigning queen in the future!
