excessive baby coverage

[princerupe74]

ok, so Kate is expecting......the media coverage is way OTT and impossible to escape. does anyone care THAT much?

[Quizmonster]

We now have nine months of media simpering to endure, but I suppose they know their 'audiences'. I guess, therefore, that many people do "care that much."

[keithg]

No I don't, opened Daily Mail this morning first 13 pages relate to it, if that not OTT I don't know what is.

[ludwig]

The media care more than anybody. It gives them something to write and talk about. I guarantee though that when I get to the office this morning, no-one will mention it.

I think they're a nice couple and I wish them well, but the coverage will be ridiculously excessive.

[emmie]

it was the first i heard of it, on the news this morning,

[daffy654]

You posting this is not helping me to avoid the coverage.

I deliberately skimmed past the 'news' on the internet this morning only to find several threads mentioning it on Answerbank :(

[murraymints]

A bit of good news among the doom and gloom..but agree we don't want it EVERY day...

[ummmm]

Would there be so much coverage if she wasn't poorly?

This baby will be 3rd in line to the thrown, of course the media are interested.

[emmie]

I am pleased for them, they seem a nice couple, and one thing no one needs to read the stuff, it will be media saturation.

Well.... I would care less if I could but I can't.

I guess the palace wouldn't normally have said anything yet anyway - it's very early days - the couple hadn't even told their families (the news said) until Kate was whipped into hospital. The press would soon have tacked on to the fact that she is under medical care and wondered why.

It's a piece of nice news, I hope that when the furore has died down, it'll be less exciting to the journos. Wait for the baby knitting patterns...

TV presenters this morning saying things like "the nation is full of joy at the news" - is it?

[ummmm]

I would guess that a large percentage is.

As for her being poorly. She is so thin I dont think she can conceive naturally and she will have doctors and nutiritionists on standby 24/7 for the next nine months. The papers will be full of it. David Cameron was so gushing it was embarrssing. It will give Nick Witchall something to do.

[murraymints]

Witchell...that Ghastly man !!!..to quote P Charles .....agree she will have to beef up a bit to carry baby ..

[daffy654]

What has her body weight got to do with anything?
I was thinner than her when I conceived all 3 of my children (naturally).

[Prudie]

It's only been news less than 24hrs. calm down it will blow over until the birth at least. And yes I believe quite a few of the nation would be full of joy at the news.

[naomi24]

Of course media coverage is OTT - that's par for the course. I won't be reading it, but they seem a nice couple and very happy together. I wish them well.

[boxtops]

Kate's far from being anorexia, she's a skinny healthy woman - she'll be fine.

[youngmafbog]

Its just another bl**dy mouth for the taxpayers to feed, why are peope so happy?

[Skebo32]

Sorry but I can't get bothered about this or any other coverage of the privileged Royals in the media. It has always annoyed me but even more so in this 'Age of Austerity' when ordinary people are being screwed into the ground. All I can think about are the poor pensioners who will die over the next three months because they can't afford to heat their homes.
