While Princess Eugenie of York gave birth on February 9th, the announcement of Meghan Markle’s new pregnancy on February 14th somewhat overshadows this beautiful event. And it is not the first time that the Duchess of Sussex has stolen the spotlight from her…
A new affront. The news has taken everyone by surprise: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have announced that they are expecting a second child on February 14th. On social networks, a cliché of the Sussex couple is circulating, where the two lovers pose in the middle of nature, with the pretty baby bump of the former Suits actress prominently displayed. An ad full of symbols. Indeed, the news was revealed on Valentine’s Day, the same date chosen by Princess Lady Diana to announce that she was pregnant with her youngest son. If the happy event enchants the couple’s fans, it could be much less of a delight for Eugenie of York.
And for good reason, the one who has just given birth to her first child in the Portland hospital on February 9th, still seems to have been robbed of the limelight. While the young woman has not yet revealed the first name of her royal baby, the new announcement of Meghan Markle’s pregnancy relegates her news to the background. And it’s not the first time the former Suits actress has short-circuited her.
Meghan Markle and Harry’s huge mistake
On October 12, 2018, Eugenie of York married Jack Brooksbank in St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. It was a magical, moving day that the Sussex couple could not help but spoil. Indeed, the couple who were expecting their first child, little Archie, who will be born in May 2019, could not hold his tongue, and had announced to several relatives, family and friends, the happy event to come.
A behaviour that had disappointed Sarah Ferguson’s daughter. All the more so as the two cousins have always been very close. According to one source, she felt that “the couple should have waited to share the news”. In private, the young bride would have taken this affront very badly. “It was a huge blunder because it stole the show from Eugenie, who was furious and cried. She was already stressed by the event, but it didn’t help that the pregnancy was revealed during her wedding,” said journalists Dylan Howard and Andy Tillett in Royals at War. The new announcement comes at a bad time for Eugenie of York, who has just recovered from her first delivery.
