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

I imagine they just used the fact that a large amount of their family were all together at the same time as an ideal time to announce it to those who didn't know, before it went to the media.

Despicable behaviour to do something like this really.

Does anyone else read stuff like this on here and wonder what alternate reality some users are living in?

Can someone who as actually there corroborate? No? That's not surprising.

Yeah, then I do a quick username search and all becomes clear!

It’s also the final day of Baby Loss Awareness week and there will be a wave of light tonight. The palace could have timed the announcement a little more tactfully.

Perhaps they knew that Eugenie would be happy with them announcing it. Maybe they talked it through. I am sure they were advised how to play it.

Basically, no one has any idea on how it went down, but that doesn't stop people making shit up. We have had bitchy threads about 'is Meghan pregnant' and now people are going to shit all over how it was announced.

FWIW I would not have cared at all if someone announced a pregnancy on my wedding day. More reason to celebrate. Not everyone is so precious that they can't handle a bit of attention being on someone else for a minute.

And yes, it is Baby Loss Remembrance Day but are people really expected not to announce pregnancies today?

Have a heart. It’s not people though, it is someone who has a PR team and knows this will make headlines around the world on a particular day of the year that many people will be thinking of their lost babies.

I tend to assume that the Daily Mail has sprouted its own pocket universe and some people have for reasons best known to themselves decided to live there.

Aw come on, a pregnancy is such good news, would people really begrudge someone revealing this at their wedding?? Come on people, don't be so self centred!

Some of you are just being plain nasty today. No idea why. They're pregnant, they're happy, they've announced their pregnancy, leave them be.

I doubt all the guests kicked Eugenie out and started doing a fertility dance around Meghan FFS.

I think it is pretty sad and worrying that some posters are so bitter that they have to shit all over what is nice news.

Nope @JacquesHammer, everyone knows you don't make announcements like this at a wedding, same as you don't propose at someone else's wedding either Hmm

Sure....that’s what you’re bothered about.

Are you really daft enough to think that the situation was carefully planned?!

As I said, someone did the same at my wedding and it was lovely. What a wonderful addition to a special day, more special news.

Happy news is happy on baby loss Remembrance Day.

Happy news is happy. There is no bad time for it.

Just stop.

the announcement also doesn't stop us remembering our lost babies. I have had several miscarriages and can spare enough thought for them and for others who have lost too... and still be happy for a couple starting out in their attempts to begin a family.

And tomorrow would have been equally unsuitable for another reason. I am sorry if the fact it is announce today has offended anyone but being truthful I think most people are using this as an excuse to show their dislike of Megan and Harry. If it has been someone else famous who the majority of people liked this argument would be being used as a stick to beat them with.

I was 10 weeks pregnant at a good friend's wedding. Of course I didn't set out to tell anyone - but the number of people who asked/guessed based on the fact that I was dead on my feet and looked like a rung out dish cloth... I didn't mention it to the bride, but when I told her a few weeks later she just gave me a huge grin and said "yes, I had worked it out when you had to go for a lie down in the conservatory..."

So who knows how this "announcement" went? Presumably they didn't make a big thing of it - it may well be that a quiet word to explain why Meghan wasn't drinking/was exhausted has been spun into a huge "she stole Eugenie's thunder" fake-story (when it was nothing of the sort).

Wow.

In light of this, there really is no reason why Me-Me-Me-Meghan couldn't have announced tomorrow instead.

I have no issue with her announcing it today.

You don't like Meghan we get it. Hmm

what's wrong with it- family affair and tbh Eugenie had been living with this man for years- hardly in the flush of young love.

The BBC news said that they chose to tell the senior members of the Royal Family at the wedding. They've included the Duchess of Cornwall who wasn't even there. Hmm

If they did tell the Queen, Phillip, Charles, William and Kate as suggested it's hardly announcing
