That probably went wrong! For the wedding of Princess Eugenie to Jack Brooksbank in October 2018, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan wanted to crown the royal love event with the announcement of their baby news. But now a book reveals that the message of joy in this context not only caused cheers.
Duchess Meghans, 38, pregnancy triggers a storm of enthusiasm among fans of the Royals in autumn 2018. Buckingham Palace announced the good news on October 15, coinciding with the start of the state visit to the Sussexes in Australia. However, Queen Elizabeth, 94, and the family learn of the surprising baby happiness earlier. However, the timing of the announcement is apparently poorly chosen, as Prince Harry, 35, is supposed to have felt.
Prince Harry + Duchess Meghan: baby bomb destroys wedding mood
The couple, who had only been married for five months, burst out with their sweet secret of all things Princess Eugenies, 30, wedding to Jack Brooksbank, 34. In their new book "Royals At War", the authors Dylan Howard and Andy Tillett describe the emotional downward slide that should have been triggered by the actually wonderful news among those present. Outrage and outbursts of anger were the result.
Prince Harry in particular was "embarrassed" by the reaction of some family members to the news. The main character of the day, Princess Eugenie, was particularly angry. Likewise, her mother Sarah Ferguson, 60, who is said to have disliked seeing her youngest daughter's spotlight stolen on her most beautiful day in life.
"This is a social derailment"
"Meghan went into her shoes when she decided it would be the ideal time to announce that she and Harry were expecting their first child," the authors write. "This is a big social derailment, even if you are not royal."
Only a few weeks later, the first rumors surfaced that the bride had temporarily left her party very annoyed. "Eugenie disappeared for a while after Harry and Meghan shared the news with the royal family," an insider reportedly told Radar Online at the time.
Baby Archie calms the mind
But only six months later, the anger seems to be gone. Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, one, sees the light of day on May 6, 2019 and finally calms the excited minds. Princess Eugenie at least congratulates her cousin and his wife on their first child. Meghan's fat box has long been forgiven and given way to the joy of a new Mini-Royal.
