Meghan Markle made a very special announcement during a royal wedding and it left one key royal fuming, according to a book.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced their first pregnancy with Prince Archie to the Royal Family at Princess Eugenie’s wedding to Jack Brooksbank in October 2018.

But the announcement allegedly left Fergie, as she is known to family and friends, “furious” as she believed the duchess stole her daughter’s “limelight” on her big day.

Journalists Dylan Howard and Andy Tillett wrote in their book, Royals at War: “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.

“This was a huge social gaffe, even if you were not a royal – stealing the limelight from Eugenie, who was furious, as was her mother, Sarah.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle blasted as ‘exploitative’ as couple have ‘lost trust’

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle “upset” the late Queen Elizabeth II and now no one trusts them, a royal commentator claimed.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been branded “exploitative” by a royal commentator, who claimed the pair have lost everyone’s “trust”.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex allegedly hurt the feelings of the late Queen Elizabeth after they reportedly decided to name their youngest daughter Lilibet without her permission.

Lilibet was the late monarch’s nickname, which was only used by close family members.

Now royal expert Phil Dampier hit out at the couple and their “exploitative” methods and touched down on the late Queen’s refusal to have her photograph with her great-grandchild.

He told The Sun: “I don’t think she [Queen Elizabeth] was very pleased that it was presented to her as a fate of conflict that the name Lilibet was chosen in the first place, I think she was a little bit upset by that.

He added: “Even if the Queen might have been, you know, struggling with her health, I think she was still sharp as a tack and she realised that any photograph that was taken of her with Lilibet could have been exploited.

“So yes she put her foot down and said no photographs and I must admit, I don’t blame her, but it’s sad we’ve never seen one.”

The expert went on to claim that the royals now fear that anything relating to the Sussexes will end up being published.

He explained: “The big fear that the late Queen had and that the King now has is that when [Harry and Meghan] turn up, they do tend to turn up with a sort of Netflix film crew or a photographer in tow.

“You always get the feeling that whatever happens, whatever the discussions are, that it’s going to sooner or later end up on a programme or in some sort of podcast.

“And that’s unfortunately where the trust has gone and they just don’t trust [Harry].

It comes as Prince Harry did not meet with this father, King Charles, during his recent trip to the UK last month.

The monarch was reportedly “busy” attending other royal engagements, which prevented him from seeing his younger son.
