Meghan Markle “embarrassed” Prince Harry after disclosing that she was pregnant on Princess Eugenie’s wedding day “in a major social discussion” that left the bride and her mother Sarah Ferguson “furious,” according to a new book.
The Duchess of Sussex, 38, is said to have revealed that she was carrying her first child when she celebrated Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s weddings with the rest of the royal family on October 12, 2018.
But the announcement by the former American actress did not coincide with the Duke of Sussex, 35, according to investigative journalists Dylan Howard and Andy Tillett, in their explosive new book Royals At War.
“Meghan put her foot up when she decided it would be the ideal time to announce that she and Harry were expecting their first child,” they both wrote.

The Duchess of Sussex, 38, is said to have revealed that she was carrying little Archie, now one, when celebrating Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s weddings (pictured above) with the rest of the royal family on October 12, 2018.
“This was a great social farce, even if you weren’t a member of royalty, stealing the limelight from Eugenie, who was furious, like her mother, Sarah.”
The authors claim that the announcement left Prince Harry, who currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife and son, feeling “ashamed.”
Meghan and Prince Harry told the public that they were expecting their first child on the eve of their royal tour of Australia and New Zealand on October 15, 2018.
At the time, some fans criticized the couple for making the announcement so close to Eugenie’s wedding.
The news of Harry and Meghan’s pregnancy was revealed at 8:40 a.m. on October 15, 2018, and at the time, Eugenie’s mother, Sarah, Duchess of York, posted a tweet about her daughter’s big day.
“If Harry and Meghan told the royal family about their baby at Eugenie’s wedding on Friday, that’s pretty grim,” one person wrote, while another added, “Thunder thief.”
However, a source previously told BAZAAR.com that Prince Harry and Meghan did not break the news to their family at the wedding.
They claimed that the Queen and Prince Philip, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, and Eugenie and Jack knew about Meghan’s pregnancy before the nuptials, but the big day was the first time they saw the couple in person to congratulate them. .
They added that it was not clear whether the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge knew in advance.
A representative from Kensington Palace later said that the royal family was “delighted with the couple.”
She posted three other messages (above) saying how proud she was of her daughter and her new son-in-law Jack, but did not mention Harry and Meghan.
However, rumors of bad feelings skyrocketed when Princess Eugenie’s mother tweeted a photo of her royal wedding gown at the exact moment the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced that they were having a baby.
Kensington Palace officially revealed the pregnancy at 8:40 a.m. on October 15, 2018, on the 59th birthday of Eugenie’s mother, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York.
And at the exact moment of the announcement, Sarah posted a tweet thanking the designer of her dress for the outfit she was wearing on her daughter’s big day just days before.
She then posted three more messages saying how proud she was of her daughter and her new son-in-law Jack, but did not mention Harry and Meghan.
Eugenie’s father, the Duke of York, who wished his ex-wife Sarah a “very happy day” on her birthday, also retweeted one of Sarah’s tweets with Eugenie and Jack.
Prince Andrew also failed to mention the news from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
