.... but who announces their pregnancy at their cousins wedding!

[flumpybear]

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

[WorriesGalore]

Wow. She is a nasty piece of work. I used to like her until she pulled this stunt. What a cow.

[youngestisapsycho]

BBC royal correspondent Jonny Dymond, who is in Sydney, said of Friday's wedding: "It was there that the duke and duchess chose to inform the most senior members of the royal family.

"The Queen was told, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Duchess of Cornwall - they chose that day to spread the happy news around and then recover and relax, get on a plane and then put out the news for the rest of us."

[brookshelley]

Given the coat and folder shenanigans, it was probably obvious to people who were up close with her, plus skipping the wedding toast champagne probably sealed it. What's the point in lying about it? I doubt Harry stood up, tapped a glass with a knife, and then announced it to the entire crowd.

Honestly - some people must have been awful Bridezillas. My best friend got engaged at my wedding - I was delighted for her. I discovered another friend was pregnant at a mutual friend’s wedding. Again - we were all over the moon. Good news is always great to hear. I am sure that is the normal reaction. Are some people’s egos so fragile that they cannot bear it to be anything other than “me, me, me”?

Are people really this thick?

[Lovemusic33]

A relative announced she was pregnant with twins at my wedding, I didn’t mind, I still had an amazing day and I was really pleased for them.

Maybe someone noticed and asked so they had to tell family?

[NotACleverName]

Nope @JacquesHammer, everyone knows you don't make announcements like this at a wedding

And again, maybe in this bizarre Mumsnet alternate world you don’t, but in reality however...

[skippy67]

Maybe Harry wanted to announce it to HIS family? But nooo, let's all pile in on Meghan (again)...

[NaughtToThreeSadOnions]

The daily mail doesbt know what was or wasnt said at the wedding ......


Just cos it says in the daily FAIL DOESNT MEAN ITS TRUE


They think because thwy can see that they were together then it must mean thats when they were told

[ShowOfHands]

I quietly told my cousin and my grandma at my cousin's wedding as we live far apart and my cousin asked if she could announce it. She was really keen to celebrate with us.

[MissContrary]

The BBC has reported they told family at the wedding

Baby Loss Remembrance Day

Sorry but unless you're on social media with people who are likely to share this sort of thing, there's likely no way you'd know that Baby Loss Remembrance Day was even a thing.

[Growingboys]

Bad form. But I would expect that from her.

[Eliza9917]

Say what you like but this is a really mean thing to do and imo shows what she's really like as a person.

[MiddlingMum]

Surely the best time to share happy news is when all your family are gathered together? I've no time for all this "Me, Me, Me" attitude, it's so self-centred and vulgar.

[Spudlet]

Why ARE people assuming it was her who did the telling? How can we possibly rule out Harry having had a couple and spilling the beans while Megan kicked his shins under the table and gave him the shut the fuck up look?

Oh wait, I know the answer to this one. A healthy dose of misogyny, perhaps seasoned with a soupçon of xenophobia and a sprinkling of racism.

[CalamityJane10]

I agree it was bad taste. They’d had their special day, but the loose cost etc seemed design to grab attention and start speculation.

Particularly unecessary when she’d been wearing a tight leather pencil skirt the weeek before.

[User97532468]

How about since the public speculated she was pregnant due to her outfit someone asked her so she had to announce?

[JacquesHammer]

Say what you like but this is a really mean thing to do and imo shows what she's really like as a person

Bad form. But I would expect that from her

Go on then. How are you two so intimate with the RF that you know it was Meghan who wanted to share the news rather than Harry?

[JacquesHammer]

Great post.

[divadee]

Omg so many people just like to be permanently fucking offended these days. It's good news. The wedding was good news. We don't have enough of the bloody good shit these days so let's just enjoy the good news for a little while.

I never understand the hate on MM. I think she is refreshing for the royal family. Is it because she is mixed race? American? An actress? All of the above? None of the above? I think she seems to come across as having a lovely nature, even before she got with Harry in interviews I had seen she was always sweet and lovely. I also don't understand how you can hate someone you don't know!!!

It's a lovely bit of news for a Monday morning.

[skippy67]

I'd add a dollop of jealously to that Jacques...

[Thesnobbymiddleclassone]

My husbands cousin did it at ours. I'll never forgive her for it.

My husbands family just mention that when our wedding is brought up and it's actually really hurtful.

[OkMaybeNot]

Yeah I don't get the negativity. Surely it's good, happy news? If you're a tight-knit, happy family then it shouldn't be an issue.

[EssentialHummus]

None of us were there. For all we know Eugenie suggested they announce it, or they were under so much pressure/speculation that it had to come out, or the Queen decided this was the right moment for the announcement, having actually been told before. We have no idea. It's really sad that the immediate reaction from some is "Meghan steals thunder". We don't know.
