They announced the pregnancy at Eugenie’s wedding

[Legrandetraitor]

I fucking told everyone this at the time! Everyone was like “no way, the press are just being mean to Meghan she would never do that”

Harry has confirmed she did.

DICK MOVE from the two of them. I can see the MN thread now “it was my wedding and my bastard cousin stood up and announced the pregnancy and stole my limelight”

Ditto. I know people who have announced pregnancies at siblings’ weddings and it seemed to add to the joy for everyone.

I'm pretty sure if the roles were reversed, H&M would be very upset about someone trying to 'rain on their parade'. That's what is so ironic about the situation. I mean they're throwing a tantrum about some lipgloss ffs

Who has been frozen out for voicing concern about Harry’s well being? Or is that just the narrative that has been created, has anyone in the RF actually said that happened? Has H&M said that happened?

What we do know for certain is that H&M announced the pregnancy at the wedding and the bride is still friends with them. Not just civil but friends as I’d spend time together, socialise and speak often. Isn’t it then just as likely that she was okay with it

Ok, maybe you were.

But Meghan wasn't.

And no, it's not OK to go around a wedding "quietly telling" everyone either. If you're so close to them, ring them on another day.

No it wouldn't have bothered me either. I was on cloud 9 on my wedding day. If the vicar had announced her pregnancy at the altar it would barely have registered.

Sounds like her way of indicating that that kind of thing isn't ok and she isn't ok with it at all. Fergie's reaction to the official pregnancy announcement made by HAM suggests she wasn't ok with it at the time either. I find myself wondering if Eugenie actually likes Meghan or is just there to monitor the situation and get information back to the family.

Prince Harry has said himself he has lost a lot of friends. It’s not a reach to assume it’s because they’ve voiced concern over his behaviour

They definitely should have waited till the next day. How is it phrased in the book?

Does anyone really care? The bride obviously didn’t! I told people I was pregnant at a family wedding. They were serving champagne and oysters and questions were being asked as to why I wasn’t having any. I wouldn’t insult their intelligence by pretending I had a stomach upset and I wanted to dance the evening away.

I also don’t know anyone who would be upset about this. And you don’t know H&M I assume, so have absolutely no idea how they would respond to anything.

This is such astonishing manipulation by the media it’s scary. All whilst remembering that you probably haven’t actually read the book!

I agree with this!

I was pretty upset when they announced their second pregnancy. I read her miscarriage New York Times article the day it came out in the waiting room of the EPU thinking I was losing my baby. A few months later she’s posing for photos with a huge bump and she would have know she was pregnant when the article was published. Just didn’t sit right with me: telling the world you’ve tragically miscarried whilst also being (happily?) pregnant. I was about 8 weeks behind her based on Lilibet’s arrival.

I would have cared as would several people
on this thread. And I certainly wouldn’t have announced my pregnancy at someone else’s wedding because I think it’s rude. Especially not at 6 weeks. But then I would have bought a coat which fits me and not raised speculation in the media!

The newspapers must love this. - They are making SO much money from it. And people are behaving as they did when M&H got married.

She really doesn't sound very nice.

The comments from Harry's book don't help Meghan I don't think.

She was jealous of Kate. She was unkind to Kate, she made inappropriate comments to Kate. Yet Harry tries to spin it as Kate is in the wrong.

Absolutely no self reflection, either of them.

Officially laughing at Fergie apparently having some sort of moral high ground in any given situation.

Aside from anything else, isn't it quite unusual to 'announce' a pregnancy at such an early stage?

This was my first thought. I waited until about 12 weeks, after the first scan.

Well many others wouldn’t care and obviously whichever York woman whose wedding it was, is still friends with them so why would anyone else be offended on her behalf if she was ok with it herself?

I did want to ask yesterday - how much more of an embarrassment do people think Harry is for the royal family vs Fergie? Crazy times

I keep reading online saying it's a cultural thing, Brits need to lighten up etc but would appreciate if an American could tell me if this is the done thing in the US and socially/culturally acceptable since all the Bridezilla movies come from the US?

Would they be stupid if they believed you were on antibiotics or just didn't want any?

1. you don’t know she wasn’t offended. My family members have offended me but we are still close
2. I am not offended on her behalf I just remember everyone saying she couldn’t possibly have done this as it would have been mean! Now it’s come out she has done it and people think it’s not mean 😆
3. i (and others) don’t think it paints her in a positive light.

That’s a good point.

If it’s no big deal, then why were people saying the papers were making it up and ‘trying to make her look bad’

I'd struggle to lie about antibiotics etc. I'd be evasive, change the subject and do my best not to make it obvious I wasn't drinking (plenty of options that look like a real drink or likely I'd just drive), but I don't think I could outright lie and deny an early stage pregnancy, that would feel like tempting fate.

There’s a difference between telling people who ask outright why you’re not drinking and actively seeking family members out and telling them, one by one, which is what Harry reports.
