Gossip says the short engagement was due to Kate already being knocked up. Hmmmm…
But anyway seeing that QEII would probably like great grandkids, how long before you thing she and William start knocking them out?
She can’t already have been knocked up back then - that’d make her 7 months pregnant.
I’d say it’ll be 10-12 months from now. The Queen probably would quite like them to sprog pretty quickly, to ensure the succession, but she does already have a great-grandchild.
She needs to eat a bit more heartily now that the big nuptials are over. Slim is nice, but she’s quit thin now. I’d like to see 10 or 15 more pounds on her, or two stone, if you will, before she catches pregnant.
I do hope they have a long and happy life together, as much as they can, considering what constraints and challenges they face.
One stone = 14 pounds. She did look a little thin, but not at period-stopping level.
What if she doesn’t want to get pregnant? Is she allowed to make that choice?
Voted 21 years.
Because SCIENCE that’s why.
If she doesn’t want to get pregnant, she shouldn’t have married a future King. Not that there’s any shortage of alternative heirs around, but she’s certainly expected to provide at least an heir and a spare.
As wife of an heir to the throne, not really. It’s her duty to have children. I’d be amazed if this hasn’t been discussed between them, and I doubt it will be an issue.
I imagine they will have a child in 1-2 years, and, rightly or wrongly, I imagine there will be a lot of speculation as to why not if they don’t.
If they didn’t have kids, Harry would be king. :eek:
Then she married the wrong guy. I can’t imagine that a college educated English woman would date eventual heir to the throne in England for eight (or whatever) years and not be aware that if she married him, children would be expected. She’s made that choice already - eight years ago.
She is under enormous pressure to give birth to an heir, because William’s brother was not fathered by Charles. I know they deny it, but everybody knows it. Just look at the pictures. (and no, that’s not why they killed Diana you CT morons, that would have been a reason to kill the kid, not her)
The longer they delay, the more people are going to speculate about their sex life. Better to get it over with, quick!
She made that choice when she pursued the heir to the English throne and I have no doubts that the expectation of children has been relayed to her, and by more people than her husband.
Her job is to be Queen and part of the duties of that job is to have kids. It’s what the English people are paying her for.
What are they going to do to her if she says she doesn’t want kids? What if William doesn’t want kids?
It seems kind of backwards and sexist to me that this girl is now expected to just be a baby factory with no other value or identity.
Cite?
Cite? When did she sign that contract? What are they going to do to her if she tells them she’s not having kids and that’s the end of it?
I thought celebs only adopted African orphans these days.
That would be hilarious.
:rolleyes: Maybe you can use phrenology to figure out his personality too.
You really don’t understand how things work in Britain, do you? Not everything has to be written down to be understood. You can be absolutely certain that, if there’d been any hint that she didn’t want kids, this particular marriage wouldn’t have happened.
But, if she doesn’t have kids, it won’t be the end of the world, there are others in line to the throne.
Oh, just to add, you may be right about this. However, she had the choice to join the royals, and William didn’t, so I’m not sure how sexist it is. The short answer is, royalty are treated differently in many ways. Right or wrong, that’s how it is.
