You may have heard this morning that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are expecting their first child.

Possibly the most enjoyable aspect of this news wasn’t the baby – hugely exciting though this prospect is, obviously – but the way they chose to do the other members of the royal family.

They did it here.

Meghan is thought to be around 12 weeks pregnant, and the couple shared their news with family at the royal wedding on Friday – the Queen, Duke is Edinburgh, Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall and Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are “delighted for the couple” #royalbaby

Which will instantly strike a chord with anyone who’s had their big day upstaged by someone else.

Talk about stealing Eugenie’s thunder. Awkward. #royalbaby.

Loving the fact Harry and Meghan are *those* messy bitches who choose someone’s wedding to upstage the bride with their baby announcement. I have a lot of respect for a power play like that.

Princess Eugenie: 'Lovely to be centre stage for once. What? Oh you've got to be f-ing joking?'#royalbaby pic.twitter.com/134y3cu0vF

I hope Harry dropped a glorious back hander just after he dropped the baby news upstager about how nice it must be for Eugenie not to feel the pressure of the huge crowds he and Meghan has on *their* big day.
