A lighter look at the Royal birth



Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, they have had their baby - a beautiful boy.

I wonder what the 'hate brigade' have got to say for themselves now. It amused me no end that they actually accused Meghan of faking her pregnancy.

There were claims that she staged her pregnancy and wore a prosthetic bump when out on engagements. 'I slowed the speed down and there is literally no bump', one troll claimed.

'Yes', a slow second cousin to the first troll commented, 'someone in the crowd asked her 'where did your baby go? Busted!' they gloated.

The only thing busted I am afraid are their minds because if there is one thing you can't fake, it is a pregnancy. You can fake many things (ask the Orange One across the pond) but when it comes to pregnancy, there is an expectation that a baby is produced at the end of nine months.

But then, baby Archie was so snugly swaddled and sleeping so peacefully in his father's arms, the haters are probably convinced it was a doll Prince Harry was cradling. 

'What about the fact that when the baby was born, Harry was so excited and thrilled he could barely contain himself', one might venture to ask these half wits.

'Acting lessons from wifey no doubt', they will probably claim. 'Did you not see the supporting cast (two horses) in the background?'

I really wouldn't put it past their very limited, tiny hate-filled collective brain cells to think that.

Some in the media also got the right royal hump, as the announcement that Meghan had gone into labour, was swiftly followed by the announcement of the birth.

They expected, no doubt, to spend hour upon tedious hour, outside Windsor Castle, pondering, commenting and imagining all sorts of scenarios for the child in eye watering detail.

They didn't get that and felt cheated. Awwww dee dums. Never mind the endless articles the tabloids publish with half truths and in some cases, absolutely no truth at all.

One imagines that right thinking people will realise that a lot of what one reads in the tabloids is pure speculation but while watching goggle box yesterday, I was rather surprised to hear one of the goggle box women, when watching the news say, 'Oh they've said it is a boy, I thought they said that were going to treat the child as gender neutral'. 

They said no such thing. The tabloids speculated and people took it as gospel truth.

Nevertheless, despite all the silliness around them, when Meghan and Harry came out with their baby, to introduce him to the world, she looked fab in a white dress (brave woman), a post partum baby bump still visible (not sure where Kate puts hers, after her babies are born). Harry looked as delighted as he had two days before when the baby was born and Archie decided to sleep through the whole thing...clever boy!

Until next time, try and keep it light!
