1. “All of a sudden there were six doctors in the room”: Matty J on the “scary” birth of his little girl.
Matty J from The Bachelor has spoken for the first time about the birth of his daughter Marlie-Mae Rose on this morning’s Nova 96.9’s Matt, Sarah & Matty J breakfast show.
The birth occurred two weeks past the due date, causing an induced labour, which Matty described as “quite aggressive”.
“As Laura was about to give birth they then realised the baby was…it was facing the wrong way, and the heart rate was beginning to drop a little as well,” Matty J recounted.
“All of a sudden we went from having just a nurse and midwife in the room, to two seconds later we had one doctor and an obstetrician come in, [and] all of sudden there were six doctors in the room.”

#2, I’m sure I read that Harry and Meghan were criticised because their message for Prince Louis was too *informal*! So, whatever they do, they can’t win.
The criticism has actually been that *all* of their greetings to other royals have been very informal. So, a departure from that - particularly when concerning a close family member - is notably obvious. These are people who allegedly have social media advisors - they can't easily claim ignorance here. Either they are playing games, or they are totally ignorant of optics (unlikely).
To be fair, whoever is curating the SussexRoyal insta account has made a very conspicuous and unpopular point of using informalities in sending online salutations to senior royals (ie calling them as they would privately "Granny" and "Grandpa" for the Queen and Prince Phillip), as well as affixing emojis to their posts. As such, when they choose not to lay on the Kardashian social media treatment when they send a birthday greeting to another royal, they can hardly complain when people see something in that.
