Do I ever dislike the term “geriatric pregnancy”. She’s 38, not 87. (I know it’s a medical term. I don’t have to like it.) She's 39 and will be close to 40 when she has the baby. But yes, that is a terrible name. I also hate "advanced maternal age."

When I was pregnant with my last, I was “advanced maternal age” rather than geriatric pregnancy. Still felt old but less like I needed a walker.

But yes, that is a terrible name. I was 39 when my youngest was born. Being “geriatric” didn’t even get me anything exciting. It was a sad day when my OB told me inductions at 38-39 weeks were only for those over 40. I’m not sure why we need the label. Can’t they see your age just by looking at the chart?

Allegedly Andrew is demanding to wear an admirals uniform to the funeral. This would mean that A) he would be promoted (he’s currently a vice admiral since 2015) and B) it would potentially force Harry to be the only man without a uniform.

I saw some buzz about this on FB but didn’t realize it would be a promotion for Andrew. Sounds exactly like him heh

The Queen has held her first official audience yesterday after the death of the Duke of Edinburgh. Court circular reads “The Earl Peel had an audience of The Queen today” and “Her Majesty invested him with the Royal Victorian Chain” it was to mark his retirement as Lord Chamberlain.

Now I’m even more interested to see what Wills wears.

Don't get me wrong, I think she looks fantastic, but is something up with the weather in Spain? According to her outfits, it was deep fall/winter yesterday and summer today. I would think that the formality of some of her events would influence what she's wearing.

I'm sure Andrew will get what he wants. Why wouldn't he?

Not gonna lie, I want to watch and dissect every move and facial expression people make. I’m thinking Olivia Pope style with popcorn and wine.

I honestly have a hard time believing that there's only 3 years between those two pictures. He looks so much healthier in 2015 and like he's aged an easy 8-10 years by the 2018.

Meghan is entering the 3rd trimester of a geriatric pregnancy. Flying 15 or whatever hours for a super stressful thing and lots of public hate was just a no-go. I am relieved for her that this is a legitimate excuse for her to use. It's just not worth the drama or even the COVID risk. Also, Harry can really let it fly and be an ass without her having to be around for that. I hope he does give them more hell. I imagine her relaxing on the couch while Archie plays, a world away from funeral scenes. Sounds lovely.

I like Kate's outfit in that picture where she is holding Charlotte. Charlotte is still my favorite
Also I read the daily mail article (I know why do I torture myself?) that talked about how Kate released these photos and is working with Will and Harry to provide a united front for The Queen.
I am so glad we have Kate to do that

It’ll be interesting if Andrew wears his military uniform and William still shows up in a suit in solidarity with Harry. That would be a big statement!

I love how the Queen and Charlotte are having a moment.
