The Calculated Baby

[Blind Gossip] We’ve told you several times that this famous actress is taking no chances with her family.

Her family planning, that is!

We let you know what her pregnancy schedule was from the very beginning. Indeed, she has stuck to that schedule.

The only thing we were unsure of in the past was how she was going to pull this off.

After all, since she was on a tight schedule, her plan couldn’t just be left to chance or based on luck or hope.

Well, we now have some insight into the logistics!

We can sum it up for you in three letters: I.V.F.

Unwilling to put all of her faith in Mother Nature, our TV actress and her famous husband got busy with visits to the doctor even before that ring was on her finger.

Why? Because egg viability, egg health and the ability to carry to term were all concerns.

Some might say it was calculating. Others might say it was the logical thing to do given that she was pushing forty.

Fortunately for them, they wound up with multiple viable embryos. They banked them so she could be implanted X months after the wedding.

Although there were rumors out there that the baby wasn’t really theirs, we will tell you that they did not need to use anyone else’s eggs or anyone else’s sperm. The baby is absolutely theirs from a genetic perspective. Sorry, conspiracy theorists!

The couple’s biggest concern was privacy. They didn’t want anyone on the outside to know what they were doing. There was a lot of sneaking around and misdirection.

A couple of interesting notes.

First, they didn’t begin this process in either his country or her country. The initial doctor visits and lab work were done in a third country.

Second, a handful of people on her side know about this. However, he did not tell any of his family and friends. We don’t know why. Supposedly, they still have no idea.

Third, there were some genetic concerns, so they went through all the screening processes to ensure healthy embryos.

Finally, they didn’t want to leave anything to chance. They chose to do gender selection.

We’re looking forward to the next calculated baby!

    Harry and Meghan. Her eggs and his sperm . BUT who actually carried Archie? It’s very clear it was not the ” actress”.

  3. KarmaFlower says

    This is Meghan and Harry. I think it was smart. They know the risks, they made an educated decision, and they made it together. I get that everyone is used to every single decision going through the Firm, but he isn’t going to be King. He and his wife should be able to make this decision on their own. Their kids aren’t going to be on the throne either. I am proud of him for coming into his own.

  4. missgee66 says

    If this is the Markles, I’m pretty sure the RF won’t be happy about Harry’s sp*rm being stored in a facility somewhere with the risk of someone using it for anything other than its intended purpose.

  5. Scarlet Peaches says

    Mr and Mrs Markle.
    I doubt it’s a baby girl; she is way too narcissistic to allow the existence of another woman in Harry’s life. Plus, with a second boy she’s closer to mimicking Diana—the cosplay with never end.

  6. Michelle says

    I must be the only one who thinks they’re having a boy. I think she’d rather be compared to Princess Diana than honor her.

  7. rc_mags says

    The Markles. It fits, no way does she still want to be intimate with him! IVF is fine, a smart way to go for those who can afford it. It would have been nice if she had taken the “shame” out of it, by talking about it, like her fake article about her miscarriage – there is no shame in miscarriage or IVF. But it is a private matter, so they can’t really be faulted for not advertising it. Just hope they have a happy, healthy baby.

    • Mama Bear says

      Sounds to me like Harry and MeAgain are spinning another round of lies about babies. Is it because the word is getting out in Britain the truth of the ‘pregnancy’ and more lies…?

  8. ItsBouquet says

    Meghan and Harry.

    Nothing wrong with IVF (or Surrogacy). This was a rare sensible decision from them. I was already thinking of freezing my eggs at 30. It’s a reality women have to live with: eggs mature and die. Sperm is always “fresh.”

    I wish they didn’t go to great lengths to hide it. It makes them untrustworthy. Archie’s shady birth announcement was despicable. Nobody trusts a liar.

  9. MrsCleaver says

    Megs & Prince Harry. I believe the kid is theirs genetically via IVF, as she’s older than 40, hard to conceive naturally at that age. I also think they DEFINITELY use surrogates. Notice BG had No mention of whose body IVF ended up in.
    Also nice of them to announce their pregnancy right when Princess Eugenie announced her baby. They did the same thing to her at her wedding. M&H are really awful people.

    • Deal With It says

      Megan is so desperate for attention and should have waited to announce her pregnancy. She really her father’s daughter. Just as her Dad desperately tries to stay in the news, so does she.

  10. parkland45 says

    Aww geez…MMarkle and his royal wimpiness. So now we have to be subjected to a thousand more photos of her clutching her belly. I’m so weary of these two publicity hounds. If they could select a gender, wonder why they’re having another boy? I thought Harry wanted a daughter (or was that his father?)

  12. liv972 says

    Meghan and Harry.
    I guess they are doing gender selection to have a rainbow baby girl now.
    They live in their own world: secrecy and lies.

  15. MizGrandma says

    Meghan Markle & Prince Harry are expecting a baby girl. My guess the deed was done in Canada. As usual, they are heavy-handling this, nothing subtle about it, stepping on Princess Eugenie’s birth announcement.

  16. Vampira says

    Megan Markle, who else? I still think they used a surrogate the first time, there were too many discrepancies in their timeline and story.

    • catlove2 says

      Agreed. And likely this time too. A human incubator to hatch the eggs and sperm. The reason she doesn’t want anyone near Archie is because she is terrified of DNA testing.

  18. 4girls4 says

    Obviously Markle But the Blind states the child is theirs from a ‘genetic perspective.’ Does this mean someone else carried the child?? And does the requirement ..a child ‘from(or of) her body ‘ come into play with succession?

  21. zappy2050 says

    BTW – The first son looks EXACTLY like Harry as a kid and I believe the eggs are hers.

    Cute picture of a red headed baby girl? Dead giveaway.

  23. zappy2050 says

    Definitely Meghan and Harry. It makes sense, this woman was no spring chicken and she definitely wanted kids with Harry – so this makes perfect sense.

    Meghan is definitely running the show – so a lot of their decisions are really solely hers. Harry just wants his military titles back – that is his only concern.

    BTW – Harry will never get the titles back – the Queen will NOT budge on that.

  25. CamilleLeon says

    Without a doubt this is Meeeagain Markle and Ginge.

    Announcing their second pregnancy on the same day Diana announced her pregnancy with Harry was so calculating. Now she has a reason not to travel to the UK for Prince Phillip’s and the Queen’s birthdays. Surprised she probably won’t make it to the unveiling of the Princess Di statue since she thinks she’s the new people’s princess.

  28. mousegirl says

    This appears to be about Harry and Meghan.
    Given that she has already had one miscarriage, even with all the planning, screening and so forth, I think they are handling the situation as best as they can. I was delighted to learn that Meghan is pregnant again after her miscarriage last year. Here’s hoping and praying this pregnancy goes full-term and they are blessed with a healthy, happy baby GIRL this summer.

  29. amagod121 says

    The Markles.

    So I guess it’s possible that she IS older than they claim. However, carrying a baby to term at an “older” age is much more difficult. I notice that BG did not rule out surrogacy in terms of someone else carrying their baby. Hmmmm …

    Optnl: Overly-dramatic, although I guess now we know why they hid the doctor visits as they did not want to be caught at a doctor who implants and then provides prenatal care for an IVF baby for the first 8 week.

  30. Alexis_Rose says

    Markle. I think they were smart to freeze the eggs. I just think she could have used her platform to talk about this being an alternative, instead of all the secrecy.

    • xtinaakua says

      I agree!
      I would recommend every woman over 30 w/I a partner or with a thriving career to get her eggs frozen to give her peace of mind. I was about to start the process at 36 when I accidentally got pregnant. Turned 37; perfectly healthy pregnancy which didn’t even get labeled as “high risk”.
      Women’s bodies are able to conceive children between 13 and 47 years on average, no matter what patriarch society tries to tell us.

  31. Otown says

    What do you think of the way they are handling all of this?

    Artificial and contrived — like everything else about her. There’s nothing authentic when it comes to Markle.

  33. charlene2345 says

    Petty Princess Meghan, Countess of Chaos, and Duchess of Disaster, and her husband Prince *, the Earl of Dumbarton.

    It’s amazing to me that anyone is still interested in these two nincompoops.

  34. lila8245 says

    Markle. So it sounds to me that she and Hazmat did this purposely, so she could continue to overshadow Eugenie at every time the girl has a life event. What did Eugenie ever do to her?

    They’re both petty and low. They won’t stop until they’ve destroyed everyone around them, and then (I’m sure) Markle will move on, leaving Harry behind. Can’t wait for Charlotte, Louis, and George to get older so we never have to hear about either of these two in the news.

  37. The Big D says

    * and Harry
    Everything about the pregnancies is shady and their children will have to live with all of the rumors for years to come.

  39. OhIthinknot says

    Prince Harry, and his lovely wife, Meghan.
    Good for them. Not that long ago, over 35 (Geriatric pregnancy) was looked down on, as too many risks to the health of the baby and the Mom. Now, with technology, people are able to have a healthy pregnancy, and baby, and not have to race the timeclock. I am delighted that they are making themselves happy.

  40. PlayaReina says

    Wheelin Dealin’ Meg and Just Call Me Harry
    It’s their choice and not illegal or immoral.

  41. gingerbread says

    This is obviously Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. There’s no denying Archie is Harry’s child – he is Harry’s twin. I just wish they’d decide if they’re Royals or celebrities and stop with this half in and half out stuff.

  44. luddite2 says

    Harry and that Markle thing. Nothing wrong with IVF if needed and desired by both partners. And she’s already locked him in with child #1, so no big deal, just want a happy and healthy child for them.

  45. Gassip says

    Harry and Meghan for sure. Just look at the cute ginger baby locks.
    They are handling this very well and on their own terms. Good for them.
    His family is beyond controlling. Now all they can do is try to react with grace.

  49. Medibooh says

    H&M of course… So you mean the alleged July event was fake (in order to gain media coverage and simpathy)? Who would have thought, right?

  51. Rockin Robin says

    Mr and Mrs Meghan Markle.
    Optional: They are handling this like they have handled everything else – badly.

  52. aaaKidd says

    MM and Harry. It makes sense to me to do this. She was past the peak period of natural reproduction, and if you want your own genetic children you have to take steps to preserve the option.

    If they weren’t so insufferable people wouldn’t think this was an issue that deserved derision.

  53. MaisyDaisy says

    I think this is the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. If it is, I think they proceeded in an extremely intelligent way given her age. Congratulations to them both and to little Archie on his new sibling.

  54. loopylou600 says

    The conniving Sussex’s.

    I have no issue with a couples wanting to use IVF. What I do have a problem with, is deceit and underhandedness. If they had been upfront with their baby concerns I think people would have generally understood. However, it’s so blatantly obvious they’ve used her pregnancy to gain and distract attention from others or to gain sympathy when she deserved none.

  56. Ramblingrose says

    Megs and Harry for sure. I guess this one will be a girl if they’ve done gender selection.

    Optional: It’s very personal so have no issues with them keeping their IVF private.

  58. no_one_no9 says

    if it was down to love and the desire to be a parent, then I would applaud it and say what works for you. Do it. But it always seems down to control and money. Mainly money.

    I would not wish H&M as parents for anyone & feel sorry for any children. They are going to be messed up little cash puppets. Sad.

  61. ILUVCA4evr says

    Mr. & Mrs. H. Mountbatten-Windsor

    I think its very interesting that they had some ‘genetic concerns’. Not sure just what, but seeing that porphyria runs in Harry’s family and they haven’t advertised who in the current generation has it, it’ll be interesting to see how this plays out. I used to think H was a dupe in all this, but now think that just maybe all along, there’s a great many things that have been hidden from the public that will come out and he isn’t playing with a full…

  63. stories unveiled says

    The Markles of course. The Royal family wasn’t told as Meghan had her claws into him from the beginning. And while William and the rest of the family thought Harry was and should be still evaluating whether she was the right person, Harry’s sperm was already in an IVF office in Canada. Make no mistake. The guy just followed Meghan’s plan since before she met him. lol. Sad. My wish is they’d just left us all out of their insane ego driven, money grubbing, attention seeking schemes. Go…

  65. Pinkieswear says

    Markle and Harry. She leads him around by the nose, and he seems to like it. So much for their altruistic nonsense about there being too many people on the planet and not wanting to have children when there are so many that need homes, food, shelter, medicine, etc, or whatever it was that they were spewing just a few short years ago.

    I wish these two would just go away, where the rest of us on the planet don’t have to know about them anymore.

  67. jonty30 says

    Obviously Harry and Meghan.

    IVF is almost the only way to ensure a 40 year old woman can conceive a child, with minimal complications.

  68. WillowPotter says

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex

    Optional: It is understandable that it might be a pride thing for her because she is getting older therefore this coming out would be embarrassing to her and further the verbal attacks on them from the public. But I do think that they are a bit hypocritical on the privacy issue you can’t have it both ways.

  69. FromAnotherDimension says

    Couple: Meghan and Harry Markle
    Oh God what IS wrong with her? How can a human be like this and WHY
    Optional: they aren’t handling anything. It’s just a matter of time before it blows over

  72. German hillbilly says

    The Dastardly Duo – Just call me Harry and Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Sussex. Ridiculous, the first was via surrogate but the second, a daughter and definitely to be named Diana, who knows if she’s actually carrying it or a surrogate. I feel sorry for their children.

  75. AmateurGossipHour says

    Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

    Wonder if any of their legal proceedings were to put media agencies off incase they did find out some information about their test tube baby?

  76. aaaPanda says

    Harry and Meghan, of course.
    Optional: I don’t see anything wrong with their approach. It seems prudent given the mother’s age and the father’s level of inbreeding and potential unfavourable heritable traits, and represents good use of modern reproductive technology. If I had had the money I would have done the same (except the gender selection, I would have been happy either way). I didn’t and missed out on a much hoped for bonus child.

  80. jjonesy says

    Of course Meghan and Harry Markle. Boy first, the next one will be a girl (or IS, as they have already announced).

  81. felicia says

    Honestly, this doesn’t surprise me a bit. With British media being the way it is, I’d probably do the same in her position. Media scrutiny literally killed Diana. With her age, I can’t imagine what they’d do if she gave birth to anything but a perfectly healthy child.

    • katekatekate says

      I thought not wearing a seatbelt in a car with a drunk driver is what literally killed Diana.

  83. redstilettos says

    The *. If they are choosing embryos via gender, they’ll go with a girl. I didn’t even know you could do that.

  84. jerseymom says

    Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. They are handling this the way they are handling this. I’m tired of the two of them quite frankly and turn my thoughts to Prince Philip who is doing poorly. I think the royal family’s days are numbered thanks to their own twisted antics. Harry, Andrew, the lot of them are a sorry bunch and I am definitely not an anti-monarchist.

  85. Baileygirl says

    Harry and Meghan.
    Why all the secrecy? I think gender selection is vile. The main concern should be the health of the baby. I believe this all started in Canada. She is calculated to the core. Harry probably felt ashamed that he was marrying an older woman whose fertility would be an issue. Ridiculous. IVF helps millions of couples achieve pregnancy. Designer clothes, shoes, and babies. How chic!

  87. Sleepyandconfused says

    Thirsty for fame and money despicable Markles

    I’m tired of their constant PR stories to make them look better. So many horrible things are happening in the world, and the only thing these two grifters are constantly showing us is how to fool naive people and cheat to make themselves richer. They added more negative energy to already suffering world.

  90. Ramblingirl says

    Very calculated for a very calculating Meghan Markle and Harry.

    Having to manage every bit of your life, down to your reproductive cycle seems like it would be very tiring.

    I don’t like the idea of gender selection.

  91. BooStrawberry says

    Markles
    They’re entitled, spoiled, malicious & self centered – everything they’ve done has been in line w that.
    Won’t be surprised if they have a girl and name her Diana to push the endless articles.
    Time to strip them of their titles & funding.

    Covid showed how useless, pointless & bland all royals are – exception Sofia of Sweden – none did anything to help their people who fund them. Zero. Hope Queen is last Queen then a republic w no funding for royals.

  94. badgerette85 says

    Megan and Harry

    Op- I am not one to judge on their methods in having children , however I do hope – for the children’s sake- that their entire life is not centered on public perceptions and the almighty dollar.

  95. dagnabbit11 says

    meghan and prince harry
    their bodies, their babies, they’re judged for everything they do – so I give them a pass for taking control of this variable. the baby announcement on Valentines’s day on the other hand…. ugh

  96. JoshuaTree says

    Meghan and Harry Markle. I still think a surrogate carried that embryo…and this new one too.

    Had it done in the U.S.

    Surprised they didn’t go with having a girl first so they could name her Diana. Now the two have overdone their Diana ties to death that it would be just plain gross now. This one will for sure be a girl.

    Going about this cause they are sneaky, horrible people who can’t tell the truth about anything.

  103. scigal says

    Haha Markle and Harry. Looking forward to seeing baby Diana (barf). They are handling this horribly, like they handle everything else.

  104. VegetableLasagna says

    Meghan & Harry
    They have handled EVERYTHING poorly.

    I used to think Meghan carried the 1st baby herself, but then saw too many pictures of her bump deflating, shifting, and her being able to bend over, that now I believe they used a surrogate to carry. I also think she’s older than she says, which may be why she went the IVF route.

  105. aaaStorm says

    Meghan and Harry

    They are beyond annoying. I also find their announcement about the new baby to be poor timing considering Eugenie just had her son. I mean, they announced the first pregnancy during Eugenie’s wedding. Who does that??

  106. munkeemunkee says

    Megan and Harry Markle.
    I think they’re repulsive, entitled, greedy hypocrites and I hope The Queen removes their titles asap.
