Meghan Markle and Prince Harry reportedly caused displeasure to Sarah Ferguson by unexpectedly revealing their pregnancy news on Princess Eugenie’s wedding day. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared the joyous announcement during the event, which was seen as overshadowing the coverage of Eugenie’s marriage to Jack Brooksbank.
Despite initial private disclosures to select guests, Kensington Palace later made the pregnancy news public, leading to speculations of discontent from Eugenie and her family. Sources suggest that Sarah Ferguson strategically used social media to redirect attention back to her daughter’s wedding, indicating her disapproval of Harry and Meghan’s timing.
In his autobiography, Harry explained that they delayed their official foreign tour to attend Eugenie’s wedding and share their news with family members individually. The couple officially announced the pregnancy just days after the wedding, leading to renewed discussion around the incident.
The situation resurfaced amidst renewed controversies surrounding Sarah and Prince Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, with Andrew recently relinquishing his royal titles and honors. The couple is reportedly set to vacate Royal Lodge and find new accommodations amid ongoing scrutiny.
