All I'm getting from that article: "the Quick Check system, which allows Waitrose customers to scan and pack their shopping straight into bags in the trolley as they go through the store, presenting a running total on a device" I need dis. They have a self scan app at Sam’s. Not sure if you can use as you go through the store or not but I don’t see why not. If you get to immediately pack it it’s a great way to maintain some privacy about what you’re buying if you’re someone like Kate. Yes, you scan as you go with the app at SAMS club. And press checkout when you are done. Then show your phone to the person checking receipts at the door.

I really don’t think that’s her grocery shopping. 🤷🏻♀️

So, Queen Elizabeth is the longest reigning monarch.
But is that really a great feat these days? France and England aren't exactly at war anymore. Is anyone expecting a coup of the British royal family? The whole things just seems kind of silly.

I think it’s more the age itself is what is impressive (impressive isn’t the right word but I’m going with it) between me and MH we have one grandparent left, she’s 91 and she quit working like 30+ years ago. To still be actively working in your late 90s to me is a feat. ...just not one I personally plan on trying.

My grandma used to walk 3 miles a day to help the "little old lady" down the street by bringing her groceries, cleaning her apartment, etc. My grandma did this until a couple days before she died at 94. The "little old lady" was at least 30 years younger than her. Some people just don't know how to sit back and relax. I am.. not one of those people. I'm ready to retire now.

I think it’s because she became Queen so young. Look at Charles. He won’t be king until he is like, 80. He has no chance at coming close to her record.

Is anyone expecting a coup of the British royal family? The whole things just seems kind of silly. It's the combo of how young she was when she became queen and how old she has lived to. Charles certainly won't reign anywhere close, and it will probably be a long time till anyone does unless life expectancy gets a lot longer or a king/queen dies pretty young. We're probably looking at a long line of older kings/queens who reign for maybe 20-30 years and then pass it on to their senior citizen child. Charles is pushing 70, if he makes it to 90 then William would be 55 when he becomes king, if William lives to 90 then George becomes king at 60, etc.

I know that its cool because Kate’s just like us etc, but if I could’ve had someone do my grocery shopping for me in the last few weeks of pregnancy, lord have mercy I sure would’ve.

A new book is coming out about Meghan, some people got an early release. Apparently it paints her in an awful light. Says she was horrible to her first husband and is a social climber.
Idk, I just don't have good feelings about her. I don't feel like I've read anything positive about her personality-wise. But I've also read the UK loves her and is in total Markle mania mode right now.

I haven't read it yet, but the April issue of Vanity Fair has an article about Prince Charles and Camilla.

I take those types of books with a pillar of salt.

But I've also read the UK loves her and is in total Markle mania mode right now. I've read tons of really lovely things about her and that book interviews lots of ex-friends who are ex-friends for a reason. I've also read some info from the book and honestly it's been sensationalized but it's nothing awful. She's been doing charity work for a long time (well before she met Harry), Her husband and her had a strained relationship and lived long distance 9 months a year for the 2 years they were married, she thought Diana's death was very sad- I mean none of this is mind-blowing stuff. So far she's been doing an amazing job even with all the awful scrutiny she's been facing and I find it disappointing how she seems to be held to very different standards than Harry. I mean her marriage was like 7 years ago- and some of these interviews are people who were friends with her in college or highschool. I'm sure she's grown since then and has changed. I feel like if an unauthorized book about Kate was coming out where someone interviewed lots of people who used to know her everyone here would be talking about how unfair that is to Kate and how it's all just gossip but since it's Meghan it must be true.

I swear I saw something the other day that was Meghan’s first kiss or first boyfriend giving an interview about her. My eyes almost rolled out of my head.

My clique wasn't the most popular but we could be totally awful in middle and high school. Someone could definitely write a book about me and I would literally seem like the absolute worst. I guess it's just lucky that I never married a prince.

I mean, I feel like you have to be a social climber in a way to want to marry in to that type of lifestyle.
I enjoyed getting out and about a few last times on my own before I had DD so I don’t blame Kate at all if that is legit her.

I enjoy grocery shopping but only when I'm on my own. My kids always ruin it and I basically refuse to take them with me.

Didn't Kate go through a time when they called her "Waity Katey" or something like that? As if all she was doing was waiting for Will to come around.
I think Meghan is the new kid on the block. I don't know anything about her, but one of the first things I saw was some article where she was like "I don't know him" about their first date and I was very, "Girl. Please." You know who he is. You might not know HIM, but you know who he is.
