Meghan Markle and Prince Harry DIDN’T announce their baby news at Princess Eugenie’s wedding

MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry confirmed that they're expecting their first child yesterday, just days after Meghan sparked pregnancy rumours at Princess Eugenie's wedding.

Meghan, 37, and 34-year-old Harry were thought to have told the Queen about Meghan's pregnancy at Eugenie's nuptials last Friday.

It was understood that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the announcement during the ceremony at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.

Pictures showed Harry speaking to Her Majesty, 92, fuelling speculation that this was the moment that he broke the news.

However, a source has now told  that this wasn't the case at all.

Instead, the Queen and Prince Philip, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall and Eugenie and new husband Jack Brooksbank already knew about Meghan's pregnancy.

Apparently, they just hadn't seen them in person, so this was the first time they could congratulate them.

It's not known whether Kate Middleton and Prince William knew ahead of time.
