Let's hope it was secretly and not to upstage poor Eugenie!

I thought that! It’s the kind of thing you hear people complain about on wedding group or on an AIBU on here Grin

She didn’t announce it at the wedding though

Um, no one? Pretty sure that's why they waited, in fact.

So they needed to announce today I guess, because it might be obvious that she’s not drinking and wearing baggier clothes. So I get they needed to tell family just before.

It says they announced to the Queen and the family at the wedding though.

Where have you got the idea that they announced the pregnancy at Eugenie's wedding? That was on Friday and today is Monday, chances are some people knew, and some were informed in person on the day as it would have been more obvious when talking to her face to face, but it's not like they took over the DJ's mic in the middle of the first dance.

Eh? Eugenie got married on Friday, today is Monday. Meghan and Harry are on a tour, it's likely been announced incase she's not at an engagement one day because she's feeling rough.

Oh, and my cousin found out I was pregnant at her wedding because my aunt had forgotten to tell her.

Where does it say that? The only official annoncement I've seen says nothing of the sort.

It is one thing to grab the mic and stop the music to 'announce' a pregnancy, and quite another when all your family are gathered over dinner at a wedding and over small talk to tell a select few people that you are expecting.

Are wedding guests ONLY supposed to talk about the bride and groom? Every wedding I have been to I have found out about promotions/ babies/ big holidays planned and other happy news over dinner.

I imagine that part is simply Daily Mail fodder.

Well, not me, I was 10 weeks pregnant at my cousins wedding and spent the evening trying to hide it! But I imagine it was more of a discrete mention to the people who needed to know rather than a full on formal announcement in the middle of the wedding!

In the weird, world of mumsnet it wouldnt be the done thing but in my family it would.be the perfect end to a joyful day.

I wouldnt believe anything in the media either, going by the fact she's already showing they probably already knew. She just hadnt made it public.

*announcement.

The only place I can find where they are talking about it being revealed at the wedding is the Daily Mail. So, I think we can assume that's nonsense.

Bad taste.

At least give E and J a bit of time to have some limelight.

But thats M and H. I thought their wedding was a farce too.

This is exactly what happens at all our families weddings I don't think they are stealing their thunder at all. In fact I imagine it would be pretty difficult to hide it to those at the event especially during toasts etc.

My first thought was this!! - Yes they didn't publically announce it but I read that they told many of the family at some point on the day of the wedding....that does seem a little thunder stealing within their own circle....

I supposed it can't really be helped though. If they had said anything publically before they would have been slated for that too as taking away attention before the wedding...

I think I read that E&J were less successful at banning smart phones from their wedding.

I’m guessing they had to announce it before the photos surface.

Bad form to announce it at "Princess Unusual's" wedding (that was what the subtitles called Eugenie this morning!).

But for me the worst bit was Radio 2 calling it a "truly momentous announcement". Married couple have baby.....yeah, man on the moon stuff right there Hmm

No its been announced as allegedly she has pulled out of Tonga and Fiji. Which also explains why her best friend and her DH are going to Australia in an unofficial capacity.
