I read the whole article, and nowhere could I find the estimated due date. She looks pretty far along in the picture, but I'd like to know an approximate date, as in: A month or 2; Late Spring; Early Summer. Does anyone know? Unofficial reports say late spring. Source: Marie Claire.

Source: Marie Claire. I just read that they aren't releasing when the baby is due. So any reports are nothing more than speculation. However, an approximation could be figured out. Supposedly they announced that she suffered a miscarriage in July. If you figure 9 months later, that means the baby can't be due 'till at least April, most likely toward at least the end. Considering how she looks in the picture, that seems like a pretty good guess. Anyhow, I wish her a healthy pregnancy & wish them both a happy healthy baby. Can't wait to hear more.

Maybe she'll tell Oprah in the hour and half interview. I'm glad they are keeping that low profile , they so badly wanted.. I am pleased they are adding to their family, I just hope its not another Diana tell all, which didn't go so well. I'd like them to still be close with the Queen.

Is it a low profile or a controlled profile? They're in a position where they get to make their own rules and have things be on their terms. Good for them. Not so good for the people that allow them to live rent free in their thoughts. Controlled profile for $500.

I'm thinking controlled as well. There's a difference between talking about yourself on your own accord and having people making up things willy-nilly about you and saying ugly things about your wife and even your child. I think it's going to be about their life here, their new business ventures, and the upcoming baby. Oprah tends to dig in a nice way so her recent lawsuit win and father/half sister issues might be discussed as well because while we've heard their side we really haven't heard theirs.

Your comment is pretty much exactly what I meant - they say they want privacy, doing an interview with Oprah, releasing a flashy photo to announce a pregnancy, notifying the paparazzi to cover their charitable efforts, etc is not private.

Not so good for the people that allow them to live rent free in their thoughts. Controlled profile for $500. Rent free? There is a post on a discussion board that gets a response, and suddenly that's obsessing over someone? I could understand the comment for a person who on a daily basis posts unsolicited commentary on them. But responding to one post? The lady doth protests too much!

In Amy Lee's defense there's an awful lot of people on theroyaldish and other sites that post about Meghan as if she's personally responsible for everything that's gone wrong in their lives, and that's who I automatically thought she was referring to; not anyone here.

Oprah is their next door neighbor or close...so they will be in a comfortable space. From the article:

Yes, they've already partnered on some other things taking advantage of their proximity. Oprah did an instagram video showing off the gifts she'd gotten from her "neighbor M" which highlighted products of a tea company Meghan is a part of as one of their business ventures.

I was posting , for someone that wanted so much privacy to keep a low profile ,has a very high profile interview. Announces a pregnancy on valentine's day, which draws a lot of attention. I think she's contradicting anything she has said .

Is it a low profile or a controlled profile? What's this low profile/controlled profile everyone is talking about? I have no idea what you are referencing. And what is the low/controlled profile? The interview or the picture or the announcement or what?

Is it a low profile or a controlled profile? What's this low profile/controlled profile everyone is talking about? I have no idea what you are referencing. And what is the low/controlled profile? The interview or the picture or the announcement or what? I think that Fanny summed it up pretty well in her remarks. To me, a low profile stays out of the public eye to enjoy a private life. I'd offer Kristen Wiig as an example of someone who maintains a pretty low profile life. When she was promoting her last movie, she mentioned having twins - but most people did not know she was pregnant ... or if she gave birth to her babies or adopted ... or if she's married ... it all happened without the public knowing. Meryl Streep is another one who does a lot in her life and we don't know about it. A controlled profile, as I see it, is when a person wants public attention, but wants to be able to control when they are seen and what people think of them. In Harry and Meghan's case, they will notify photographers when they are going out to do things they want the public to know about - visiting a cemetery on Remembrance Day, volunteering with Meals on Wheels. Meghan shared the news of her miscarriage in a newspaper piece. They announced she is pregnant with a beautiful photo and on the same day that Diana had confirmed she was pregnant with Harry - two things that would certainly generate attention. They are doing an interview with Oprah - a high profile media person who they have a relationship with and can safely expect what kinds of questions they will get. Each of these are things that are done by people who want to remain in the public eye, but want to control how much attention they get and how they get it.

Can you imagine if Meghan casually mentioned she had twins a few months ago? Yeah, I don't think so. It was super sweet of them to post that lovely picture on a day that was meaningful to them. I loved it.

If she were living the private life of a private citizen, she'd never mention it and we'd never know.

I think Meghan and Harry both knew full well when they "went private lives", it would never truly be private. I'll never believe they didn't know this beforehand.

But there is so much we've known about since they left the royal family that we only know because of them. As they were moving from house to house, their whereabouts were certainly known, and it's hard to say how much that was because of the press searching them out, and how much was the signs they were giving constructing banners to give them privacy everywhere they went. But since they settled into the house the bought, the attention towards them has been very quiet. We're not seeing pictures of them outside their house or going to the grocery. We are seeing them when they go out with photographers. Had Meghan never shared the story of her miscarriage, I don't think we would have known about it. Given that Harry and any children he has are still distantly in line for the throne, I think we certainly would have heard about the birth of the baby they are expecting. But outside of that, I think they are being left alone except for when they choose to share things. So I think they could have it much more private if they wanted it that way.

Prince Philip (99) is in the hospital due to an "abundance of precaution" on his doctor's part. He's there for observation and rest (from what?), and will be there throughout the weekend.
Best wishes, Your Royal Highness.

The Queen made her statement and Harry & Meghan responded with a thought provoking message that we can all live a life of service. That was not disrespectful! It's tragic to me that Prince William continues to portray himself as the person who has taken the high road while his brother has taken the low road. It is the ultimate betrayal. William had/has the option of putting himself in his brother's shoes, and what perfect timing when the Black Lives Matter movement was/is going on, yet he's choosing to turn a blind eye. While he stays in his corner and enjoys all of his privileges, he still can't bring himself to show his brother compassion. It truly is the ultimate betrayal. link

When you consider that William has been raised believing that the family business is a calling from God, and they have no other option, it’s understandable to me that he feels he’s been abandoned. It’s been said that Queen Elizabeth believes her father died younger that he should have because of the stress of becoming king and being abandoned by his brother. Wouldn’t be shocking if in some ways that message wasn’t passed on to them. So I can understand why for William this would be more complex than being irritated that his brother decided to become a lawyer instead of coming to work for the family restaurant.

Things don't look too good for Prince Philip; the hospital allowed Prince Charles to visit him yesterday at hospital. They are only allowing visitor when....it's at the end.
Also, Prince Williams has no room to get salty over Harry's network deal when he himself has a deal with Discover+ to make nature documentaries.

I realize that sometimes, using a "source" to say things is how the royal family communicates things to the world; but I think it's always equally possible that some "source" is just making stuff up to cause drama (or maybe there's no actual source at all).

Agree, but let’s face it, if this article had been about what harsh words Harry supposedly said it’d be considered gospel. Remember that’s a large part of how we got here (reason for them coming to the USA ) in the first place! And clearly the brothers are at odds, their last appearances were telling, and so have been their public statements and/or lack thereof so while I won’t take it verbatim, I do believe William is not at all supportive.

While Harry and Meghan feel it's their own business to do what they did, coming to America, the royal life is indoctrinated in William and Harry, so I understood part of why William is undoubtedly disappointed with his brother.
