I can't help but feel that Beatrice got revenge for Eugenie by announcing her pregnancy on Harry and Meghan's wedding anniversary Grin. If she did this purposefully, good on her.

Didn't Harry and Meghan announce their pregnancy at Eugenie's wedding?

@SnottyLottie

All you ladies who felt physically fine during first term pregnancy, did that extend to mentally feeling fine too? Everything set me off crying from about 8 weeks onwards. I was an emotional mess crying at dumb adverts and snapping at DH for eating too loudly. I personally wouldn’t have coped with a grandparent dying.

Interesting discussion!

Yes, I basically sailed through my first pregnancy with no symptoms other than an expanding waistline. I actually did have a grandparent die during my pregnancy as well. I think I would have been about six months in. I was fine really, but that was impacted by it being a relief of a death in a lot of ways, at the end of a decade long decline into Alzheimer's.

Naïvely assumed pregnancy 2 would be the same. Nope! Ended up off work for two months with horrendous morning sickness and then spend the next six months exhausted and miserable, desperate to get to the end!

I hope the Queen gets to have a photo of all her great grandchildren together at some point.
Sadly, I think it will take the grand children a while to repair relationships to get to that point.

Lovely news!

NewModelArmyMayhem18 · 19/05/2021 21:26

Really good news and yes, well played Bea getting revenge for Eugenie. I bet MM is seething.

I don’t think it’s Beatrice’s choice is it? It is interesting and no coincidence that BP chose today to announce it, together with no official congratulations to H and M for their anniversary.
It’s lovely that the sisters are having their babies so close together. They are very blessed.

I thought the same. The sisters seem very close, and I bet she was fuming on Eugenie's behalf
FrangipaniDeLaSqueegeeMop · 19/05/2021 21:56

I'm sure Beatrice didn't get pregnant just to piss Meghan Markle off Confused

Good Lord, must Meghan be brought into everything? She has a pretty nice life so I doubt she's "seething" Hmm
TopBlogger · 19/05/2021 23:09

Where have you been for the last 3 years?! Yes, she does. She's made that quite clear. How very dare you for questioning that!!

Hahaha what absolute tosh!

I thought people liked them? Didn't know they thought they were vindictive like that, what a surprise!

I would imagine they are quite happy in their lives and not hung up on anything to do with M&H. Unlike some people on MN

Essexgirlupnorth · 19/05/2021 23:31

I was convinced there was going to be a pregnancy announcement shortly after their small lockdown wedding last year

How ridiculous, how is Princess Beatrice being pregnant 'getting revenge for Eugenie', and why would 'MM' care?

FrangipaniDeLaSqueegeeMop · 20/05/2021 17:46

Meghan and Harry are probably thrilled for Beatrice. I'm sure as a 38 year old woman she realises other women get pregnant - no seething necessary Hmm

Bluntness100 · 20/05/2021 17:51

Why do you keep posting about Charles? He would have had nothing to do with Beatrices choice of shoes or decision to walk Confused

If anything like that has happened, it’s more likely Fergie’s influence.

RickiTarr · 20/05/2021 22:00

She means timing the announcement of the pregnancy to coincide with H&M’s wedding anniversary, not getting pregnant in itself.

All sounds very childish, but apparently some members of the BRF - or their staff - do sometimes play this game of trying to overshadow each other by timing certain events and press releases to eclipse those of other family members. During the 90s Diana & Charles were constantly at it.

Who knows if that’s what’s going on here?

Maggiesfarm · 20/05/2021 23:40

MM didn't 'announce' her pregnancy, she probably told a couple of people whom she considered to be close to her and Harry, and her mum, but in no way did that over shadow Princess Eugenie's beautiful wedding. I doubt that even crossed her mind when she found out, why would it? She and her sister were always very close to Harry and William.

OverByYer · 21/05/2021 07:17

@Maggiesfarm were you at Eugenie’s wedding then?

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 21/05/2021 07:20

She has a relatively pronounced bump - I'd say she was past the first trimester at the funeral.

Lampzade · 21/05/2021 07:20

I started reading this thread and bet my husband £50 that a poster would bring Meghan into this conversation by page 2. He said that this wouldn’t happen.
He now owes me £50

Leave Meghan alone for ffs.

@NewModelArmyMayhem18 I doubt it ! I'm sure she's only interested in her pregnancy but boring Beas !
