Another thought: perhaps Meghan has a planned c section in the next few days and so Harry is able to plan trips next week. Or an end date induction or the like. Baby must come by x day.

I had an induction at 41w6d with DD so I truly feel for Meghan at this point. Unless of course she gave birth already 😜 Harry has a planned trip to the Netherlands next week (5/5-5/8). I wonder if she is being induced within the next few days?

Well if they planned this trip for Harry she just jinxed herself into an overdue baby 😂 My parents decided to take my sister on a trip to visit a friend a week after my due date and nobody showed up to help with my bigger kids when DS2 was born. I have a lot of feels about it still, I can't decide what this means for MM's due date. She said late April/early May, but would Harry really want to leave her and a newborn, even for a night or two? Did she just think she would go early? Am I overthinking this? It's for the Invictus Games though. That's Harry's thing. So I can see them making an exception for that given how important that organization is to him. Yeah and when MM goes into labor, he can hop on a jet and be home in a couple hours. The Netherlands aren’t that far away from London.

I get the idea behind the limited followers. Instead of having 100s of people/charities who they follow it's focused on the charities of the month. It's an easy way for people to learn more.
I find it a bit strange to get riled up about that.

“But the decision was for a meaningful reason. The couple explained in a new post that they are only following organizations that work to “promote mental well-being, mental fitness, body positivity, self-care, and the importance of human connection” this month.” So maybe it’s just for the month of May?

Not worn but I love this one: The Japanese Honeysuckle Tiara: A classic tiara of diamond honeysuckle and scroll elements, accompanied by coordinating jewels to form a parure. Given to the Princess Chichibu when she joined the imperial family in 1928. Worn by the Princess Chichibu and Empress Michiko. Worn as a wedding tiara by the Princess Chichibu (1928). this is beautiful. I'm also loving those earnings, so simple and sparkly. I think my favourite is Empress Masako's though.

Maybe if Meghan had stopped holding that baby in so much, it would be here by now

Following a limited about of accounts will make it easier for people to find those charities I guess. But I also don't think a handful of royal amounts would make it that much harder to find the charity accounts.

Also let’s be honest, if these were private family accounts of course they would follow each other. But they are business accounts with an agenda.

I don’t understand how on earth following a couple of your family IG takes away from charities in the slightest. It feels very sanctimonious. Like hey, you can do both. People can support charities and follow other accounts. It’s very eye rolly.

I do not see how one takes away from the other in any fashion. She could follow #dogsofinstagram and still highlight charities.

Sometimes when I’m looking for a particular aesthetic to scroll through, I’ll look at who my favorites are following but very often they are following hundreds of people for different reasons so it’s kind of like looking for a needle in a haystack. I don’t know why they would unfollow @ Kensingtonroyal and the other official royal IG accounts though. Seems like those accounts have good charitable recs too? 🤷♀️

Their follows are some guys named Herb and the Spice Girls, because 11 Herbs and Spices

If a user goes to their Instagram page they know exactly where to look for the pages they're highlighting instead of the weird picture tags that sometimes overlap weirdly and make it hard to click on the one you want to view. It makes complete sense to me. I don't get the eyerolls or exasperation.

And if someone is digging through their follows to find a charity, 3 or 4 other accounts is not going to slow then now. Nor is a like thrown to say, Charlottes birthday pictures. It reads very “we are unfollowing anything that is unworthy”. I also additionally think it’s pretty terrible PR given the whole rift rumours but that’s separate.

For me, the tags can be hit or miss and the whole link in bios are annoying. It seems purposeful and intentional, again, to me. I don't really see how it can be seen as a negative or nefarious.

Tbf I’m all very riled about about something that happened at preschool today so while I am rolling my eyes and think it’s Ridiculous with a capital R, it probably sounds like I care a lot more than I do.
This is like banana bread level of irritation.

If you follow this cousin, do you have to follow that cousin. etc? And nobody wants to follow Princess Michael's racist ass.

Huh. “12 reasons why Baby Sussex might have already been born.” That would be interesting if it turns out the baby is like a week old already, lol. http://instagram.com/p/Bw7M2iYhiAl
