Royal pregnancies are quite tricky. When a married celebrity or public figure is not yet pregnant, she will be bombarded with questions about when she will be expecting. But, if one of them is actually pregnant, she still receives backlash for it.
Just take Meghan Markle, for example. She got pregnant around three months after she and Prince Harry tied the knot last year, and royal fans are claiming that it happened a little too soon.
Now, investigative journalists Dylan Howard and Andy Tillett’s new book called “Royals at War” claims that Meghan Markle’s quick pregnancy sparked concerns within the “higher echelons of the Royal Family.” It was also alleged that even though the pregnancy was officially announced in October 2018, the Duchess of Sussex told the Royal family the baby news at Princess Eugenie’s wedding, making Prince Harry “embarrassed.”
“Meghan put her foot in it when she decided that it would be the ideal moment to announce that she and Harry were expecting their first child,” the authors claimed. The Duchess of Sussex's decision to announce it on Princess Eugenie's special day, allegedly, made Sarah Ferguson "furious."
Royal expert Phil Dampier previously said that the royal family always coordinates major announcements, so the members won’t “steal each other’s thunder.” With Meghan Markle, allegedly, announcing that she was expecting at the wedding of Prince Harry’s cousin, it was definitely not good timing at all.
Multiple reports claimed that Meghan Markle likes being the center of attention since her previous job was an actress in Hollywood. Many believed that she got pregnant right away because it would give her even more exposure after the wedding.
On the online forum site Quora, a lot of royal fans shared their negative reactions about Meghan Markle getting pregnant so quickly. Some said that she should have waited at least a year after her wedding to Prince Harry to have a baby.
But, Meghan Markle did receive some support in the comments section, with others saying that there are far more problems in the world for people to be angry about to focus on Meghan Markle getting pregnant so soon. Some pointed out that there at least she got pregnant after the wedding and not before that. Others also noted that adding a baby to the mix is the next natural step of married couples.
