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

[flumpybear]

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

Brighton it's weird, innit.

It's a national event, and those who don't know about it are lucky.

It's not a national event though. I doubt my friend who last year had a fourth miscarriage, but didn't know about the day until I mentioned it, would consider herself lucky tbh.

This woman can't do anything right, can she?

No it seems not.

Well at least I learnt from it and didn't do the same at my cousins wedding.

I was pregnant being sick and my family didn't know but I didn't stand up and tell them all. It was his day to enjoy. We told them a week later once they had their day and honeymoon

Poor girl can't win. They had to announce it before the tour, and if it was obvious at the wedding it likely announced itself. I'm sure senior royal already had an idea at least. Eugenie doesn't seem the sort to mind much!

Also, there's letting something be known and having it add to a happy event and then there's LOUDLY announcing something to hijack someone else's event. I doubt they did the latter! I'm not her biggest fan but I honestly don't think that could or would have happened, she's got more class and empathy than that.

Nobody is “bitter and jealous”. For heaven’s sake, that is the most stupid thing to say.

How the hell does anyone know when a pregnancy was announced to close family, if Meghan is 12 weeks as speculated then close family may have already known and that is their business and not those with sticky beaks

For heaven’s sake, that is the most stupid thing to say

You said you hadn't RTFT. You might want to do so for some more shining examples of "the most stupid thing to say"

There's a difference between 'told a few close family members' and 'ANNOUNCED'. They could easily have just taken them aside and told them as she was showing and it would have been silly to say no if asked. Some people here seem convinced she stood up during the speeches and demanded everyone's attention.

Also, I'm sure she and Harry discussed how and when to tell people so why is she getting all the hate?

I was pregnant being sick and my family didn't know

I think it is naive to say people didn't realise something was going on if you were vomiting, not drinking and you had gained some weight. Chances are people knew, and they were being polite not mentioning it. There were probably most baffled as to why you didn't mention it when in the company of family.

day of the year that many people will be thinking of their lost babies.

People who have lost babies are likely to think about them every day; I'd imagine, the aim of Baby Loss Awareness Week is to make people who haven't lost babies aware that it's quite common - not the parents themselves.

If you're hurting that you've lost a baby; I think this news would hurt any day - as any baby news would.

That would certainly be the way to behave and proceed. Declaring it- or even mentioning it - on someone’s wedding day does certainly hint strongly at an attempt to refocus attention away from the bride and groom. It cannot ever happen accidentally.

I'm sure senior royal already had an idea at least

For many protocol and logistical reasons there is no way that they wouldn't. I imagine the Queen and Charles were told virtually as soon as they knew themselves.

I think it's great news, especially on Baby Loss Awareness Day. I've lost a baby, doesn't make me any less happy for them. I think the fact that she's pregnant and seems happy and healthy is a positive thing, not negative in any way.

There are more contenders for “ the most stupid thing to say” throughout the thread? Hmm. Yes, I can well believe it.

It cannot ever happen accidentally

Well quite.

So given the protocol the RF are expected to adhere to, it is foolish to the extreme to think that IF this is how the news was shared, it was done without any sort of careful planning and agreement.

I think some of the more hard of thinking posters are imagining Meghan standing up during the speeches and screeching "he's knocked me up".

Quote: Meghan Markle is pregnant with her first child and told the Queen and the rest of the royal family at Princess Eugenie's wedding, it was revealed today.
it was revealed today ....by the daily mail
yeah, of course, that's a reliable source

The official announcement from Kensington Palace was: "Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in the Spring of 2019."

Congratulations to Harry and Meghan. I hope they have a healthy baby. Doesn't matter how and when it was announced- none of us really know anyway - the important thing is there's a new life on the way and it's something to be celebrated.

We were stood round as family before the meal and she announced to us. We only had a small wedding so everyone there was family.

We had no idea beforehand and it contentedly took over the day. She was staying the day before and day after the wedding. She could have told everyone then. We'd barley got out the door of the ceremony to talk to everyone before she did it.

People that do this know what they are doing. They can't stand for any event to about anyone but them. They can't give people just one day in their whole lives to be just about them. It's very, very selfish imo.

Agreed.

maybe because poeple could tell like the whole of mn

shes clearly showing so maybe was asked

THEY DID NOT ANNOUNCE IT AT EUGENIE'S WEDDING!

Just another excuse for another Meghan basing thread. Harry and Meghan obviously waited til Eugenie's wedding was over before announcing it, out of respect for her and her husband.

They didn't give the poor girl long to bask in the limelight though, did they. She's normally slated in the media for her dress sense and she looked beautiful on her wedding day. They could have at least waited a week and gave Eugenie (a real princess, might I add - maybe that's the reason for all this) some decent headline/media space for once.

Isn't Harry a "real prince"?

I'm still waiting to hear your insider knowledge as to how its Meghan making the decisions.

Some of you are so bitter that I’m tempted to send you a few bags of sugar to help you level out.

Please. Please. Please. Can people just do us all a favour, and not take articles in the DM as fact. It’s quite obviously bullshit. There is protocol involved, the Queen and prince Charles would have been told as soon as H&M knew. I don’t think any shine was taken off of Eugenie’s day, the only dampener IMO, were all the outrageous comments about MM’s outfit and her general MM-ness, and ridiculous comparisons between Eugenie, Kate and Meghan’s dresses. That became farcical. Most people would be delighted for a beloved cousin to announce baby news, a few days after they got married. What is wrong with people when it comes to MM. I’m no royalist or particular fan, but it all just seems totally unnecessary and mean-spirited. I don’t get the hatred for her at all. So why if she’s not talking to her dad, she’s been divorced, or wears “boxy” clothes?? If that was someone on here asking for advice they’d be told to get toxic people out of her life, and that of course she should divorce if she is unhappy. People needed to ask themselves why she winds them up so much.
