I give it an hour.

I agree with Tasha, thats a bit judgemental. From when I heard she was pregnant I didn't think she would want a full time nanny, she is from a "normal" back ground and seems like she really wants to change the way the country looks at the royals.

I'm not surprised she doesn't want a Nanny, she'll make a fab mummy

 

[Missy86]

I also doubt William will want the baby to have the sort of childhood he had

I love Kate and William they seem so nice and down to earth

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

I totally agree, I think they will be very hands on. They may need help from time to time as do most working people but I dont think they will take advantage at all. I think they will be fabulous parents and I think they will have a girl

Really? That is rather rude! What is this judgement based upon?

Does Kate have a Job? i know this past year been full of royal functions...but like wills is a helicopter pilot does she do anything?

i think she will make a brill mummy.

Are you really telling me she is going to give up her soapbox to play mummy? I doubt it somehow.

why do you doubt

 

[Pink Flowers]

I think she will.

 

[Feltzy]

I think she seems very down to earth myself and I think they'll make great hands on parents.

I don't know I've often wondered that myself though. I suppose when she got engaged to William it wouldn't have been appropriate for her to have a job working too closely with other members of the public, for privacy reasons and also security reasons. She does seem to do a lot of touring and charity work though...

 

[Tasha]

Am I missing something? What soapbox? I thought a soapbox was when you were ranting about something and then said I will get down off my soap box. I never heard her rant about anything

She use to work for Jigsaw doing fashion or something but doesnt now x

Regardless- I find it hard to believe she has married him to play mummy. It simply doesn't make sense to me. Maybe its just me though. I guess time will tell!

No, she just undertakes royal functions and runs the home.

I dont know why people have an issue with that, there are a lot of everyday women who would like to spend there first year of marriage playing housewife but cant afford it. She still undertakes royal functions (so isnt taking taxpayers money for nothing) but lets be honest - if that was you (as in a general you) would you like to be thrown in at the deep end with loads of things?

I think after Diana they are (rightly) making sure she is comfortable with her role. William has been groomed for this, she hasn't. And i dont believe that mummy middleton planned all this. Even if she did, you can hardly make someone fall in love with someone else - I am quite sure William has a mind of his own.

I think they will make good parents and will be very hands on, as will Kate's parents.

 

[baby D]

She has no soap box. She is so so normal. And I think she will make a fab mummy -- hands on is what she knows -- her own mother was hands on. Why wouldn't she be the same??

 

[beth_terri]

This must be mad for Kate's parents, their granddaughter (I think girl ) a royal! I wonder how much evolvement they will be 'allowed' to have?

And actually, the royal family doesnt just take money from the tax payer.....The Sovereign Grant is designed to be a more permanent arrangement than the old Civil List system, which was reign-specific. Funding for the Sovereign Grant comes from a percentage of the profits of the Crown Estate revenue (initially set at 15%).

They have their Duchy lands, that they make money off of renting out etc.............so really they are like any wealthy family with land.

Either way, I think she will want to be more Mummy than she may be allowed to be. It may be that she is reguired to do X Y Z that will mean yes, she might need a nanny. But how is that any different from say any other successful woman in a high flying career?

 

[Tasha]

I imagine that is less crazy to them than ther daughter being one.

I think they will be hands on too. Kate will probably like her mum's support.
