We all know that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are not the most beloved members of the UK’s Royal Family. During Queen Elizabeth’s reign, they were not as controversial as they are now.

They did not choose the time wisely

Their two children, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, were warmly welcomed into the family like any other royal child. However, it appears that the announcement of Archie’s arrival was not well-received by some members of the family.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex used the celebratory gatherings surrounding Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s 2018 wedding as an opportunity to share their own big news.

“The various gatherings connected to the wedding would give us a chance to pull aside family members one by one and tell them our good news,” Harry wrote.

They later told Prince Charles (now King Charles), Prince William, and Kate Middleton, who were all extremely happy for the couple.

“Many wondered why Meghan chose to reveal her news on the bride’s big day,” Tom Bower noted in his book Revenge: Meghan, Harry And The War Between The Windsors.

Princess Eugenie and her mother, Sarah Ferguson, were particularly upset with the Duke and Duchess because they felt the timing “stole the spotlight” from Eugenie’s wedding.

“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,” Bower wrote.

Since that moment, the relationship of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry with some sector of the family started to deteriorate.
