No, Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Didn't Announce Their Pregnancy at Eugenie & Jack's Wedding

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex publicly announced the news of Duchess Meghan’s pregnancy today, just hours after the couple landed in Sydney ahead of their 16-day royal tour of Australia, New Zealand, Tonga, and Fiji.

While most royal watchers greeted the proclamation with excitement and warm wishes for the couple, outlets including the Daily Mail reported that Harry and Meghan told their family the pregnancy news at Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s wedding. This prompted complaints that the Sussexes inappropriately overshadowed the newlyweds’ big day.

However, a source tells BAZAAR.com that Harry and Meghan did not break the news to their family at the wedding. The Queen and Prince Philip, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, and Eugenie and Jack all knew about Meghan’s pregnancy before the wedding, but hadn’t seen the Sussexes in person until Friday—making the wedding the first time these members of the royal family could congratulate the couple in person. It’s unclear whether the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge knew ahead of time.

But altogether, most people at the wedding didn’t know about Meghan’s pregnancy, the source says.

A representative for Kensington Palace confirmed to reporters today that Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, and the Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge “are delighted for the couple.”

According to Kensington Palace, the Duchess of Sussex is due to give birth to her first child sometime in the spring. Prince Louis will turn one on April 23, 2019, Princess Charlotte will turn four on May 2, and the Sussexes’ first wedding anniversary will fall on Sunday, May 19.

There’s no doubt baby Sussex will be close with her Cambridge cousins, George (5), Charlotte (3), and Louis (five months), since Prince William and Prince Harry are very close. George and Charlotte were even attendants in Harry and Meghan’s May wedding.
