- Markle and Prince Harry publicly announced they were expecting their first child on October 15, 2018. Eugenie's wedding was just a few days earlier, on October 12.
- "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not interviewed and did not contribute to 'Finding Freedom,'" a spokesperson for the couple told Insider.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced they were expecting their first child, Archie Harrison, on October 15, 2018.
According to reports, however, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shared the news with the royal family a few days earlier, at Princess Eugenie's royal wedding on October 12.
Eugenie was upset that the couple didn't wait until after her St George's Chapel nuptials to Jack Brooksbank to share the news, according to a new royal biography.
"It did not go down particularly well with Eugenie, who, a source said, told friends she felt the couple should have waited to share the news," report Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand in the biography, "Finding Freedom."
However, the authors go on to note that Eugenie had a good relationship with her cousin, Prince Harry.
"Out of all the Queen's grandchildren, Harry and Eugenie have one of the most natural connections. Like Harry, Eugenie is loyal, honest, and great fun. The two had many nights out together in London," the book reports.
"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not interviewed and did not contribute to 'Finding Freedom,'" a spokesperson for the couple told Insider.
"This book is based on the authors' own experiences as members of the royal press corps and their own independent reporting," they added.
Buckingham Palace did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
