Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank became parents on Tuesday 9th February. While many members of the royal family congratulated the young parents, what about Meghan and Harry?
Princess Eugenie became a mother for the first time on Tuesday 9 February. Together with her husband Jack Brooksbank, the daughter of Prince Andrew, and Sarah Ferguson, they welcomed a little boy, whose first name is still unknown, who is already the happiness of the British monarchy. A ninth great-grandchild for Queen Elizabeth II, who ranks directly in eleventh place in the order of succession to the throne, just behind her mother and in front of Prince Edward, the monarch’s youngest son.
The young parents obviously received many messages of congratulations from family members who were eagerly awaiting this birth. His uncle, Prince Charles and his wife Camilla Parker-Bowles seized their Twitter account, Clarence House to show their affection to Princess Eugenie and her husband: “Congratulations to Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank on the birth of their son” they wrote, sharing a photo from the couple’s wedding three years ago.
Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, did not make a public statement. The Sussex family reportedly sent their congratulations to their former neighbours in private, as reported by Town & Country. The two couples were quite close and lived near Kensington Palace before the Sussex family moved to California.
Meghan and Harry, far from social networks
If they did not share messages publicly, it is also because little Archie’s parents decided to abandon all their social networks, tired of the hatred and the many criticisms they received on a daily basis. In January of this year, Meghan Markle and Harry withdrew for good from their Instagram and Twitter accounts. The aim was to try to take a step back from their notoriety after the cyber harassment they faced. The former American actress had revealed that the situation had become “almost insurmountable” when she was on maternity leave. The couple now interact with their loved ones only in private.
