So true. But that’s the beauty of it. Meghan isn’t ‘shaking things up’ nor does she want a crown. She just seems so be really enjoying herself, her husband, her life. Everything else is just gravy.

They told the family since 1.) they were all together, 2.) they’d notice that she didn’t toast with champagne, 3) they wanted to tell people in person, rather than by text/email/Skype, 4) Eugenie is a grown-up and I’m sure is fine with it. OK, Sarah?

They’re on a tour, how could they have waited a week. 

No they could not they are on a tour. How do I not get this. 

I, for one, was looking forward to the stage of the tour when she started carrying bags of groceries and potted plants to conceal the bump.

Totally called it last Friday when I saw her in that coat.

Man, didn’t they just get married like, a week ago? And now she’s got to haul herself around on tour while pregnant? When do these poor people ever sleep?

They’re leaving on a tour that features dozens of events. They’ll be photographed from literally every angle. There was no hiding it; she can’t carry shit in front of her like a sitcom actress would.

They start 2 weeks of events in Australia today. They have 76 engagements during that time. There is no way she can keep it under wraps so had to announce at the last possible minute.

It’s not really about the age difference, it’s about the power imbalance of their roles — even if he was just her boss, that’s a real problem, but he was literally the president, arguably the most powerful person in the world at the time. There doesn’t have to be an explicit threat to her employment for that to be an…

I agree with you, but William and his family do occasionally travel together so there’s the remote possibility that, say, there’s a horrible plane crash or something. Also, William could abdicate for some reason. You never know. Then Harry and Meghan are up to bat.

Thank you. And I have listened to Slow Burn. Every episode.

Yeah, no.  We have all been 22 at some point in our lives.  I personally never dated, had sex, etc with any married man, my supervisor or not.  We do have to take responsibility for our own actions.  The sex was not a condition of Lewinsky’s (unpaid?) employment.  She was not harassed or coerced into it.  I do feel…

Moaning and gnashing their teeth about how they had to find out about the pregnancy via press release. As if they could be trusted to keep the smallest of secrets if spilling got them a moment’s publicity.

Fine to disagree with her, but to call someone who wrote seven volumes of books on how to combat authoritarianism, a single working mother who became a billionaire and then used her money to tackle homelessness, promote education and family health to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars (closing in on half a…

My BFF is a funeral director, and childless. When someone asks her this question, usually an older relative, she asks in the sweetest voice, when are you planning on dying. 

How about, she’s allowed her opinion and you’re allowed yours?  I'm so weary of the pressure that we must all march in lockstep together on he said, she said; we *always* have to believe the woman.  That conformity is dangerous.  And worse, concluding that Rowling is a garbage person because she disagrees with you? …

All this “watching a pregnant woman” is super creepy.

Yeah I was like uhhh I also usually only take my coat off once I’m inside if conditions outside require use of said coat...

She wore a spacious coat–spacious enough to conceal a snack pack of samosas or a baby, either of which would be a perfectly credible explanation–to Princess Eugenie’s wedding yesterday and took it off only after entering the church.
