How Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Shared Their Exciting Baby News With the Royal Family

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are expanding their family! On Monday, Kensington Palace officially announced that the couple are expecting their first child together, and the royal family could not be more excited! Even though this is the first time we're hearing about the news, the brood actually found out a few days ago at Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's wedding. "The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are all delighted by the news," the palace announced.

So, why did Meghan and Harry make the announcement at Eugenie's wedding? "It was a happy family event, and that's where happy news gets shared," People reported. It's possible that Prince William and Prince Charles knew prior to Eugenie's wedding and that Meghan likely told her mom, Doria Ragland, in person when she visited the UK for Meghan's cookbook launch event.

Harry and Meghan tied the knot this past May, and Meghan has previously said that becoming a mom was on her "bucket list." Congrats again to Harry and Meghan!
