Revealed: Prince William’s four-word response to Harry’s Meghan pregnancy announcement | Examiner Live

When Prince Harry revealed to his brother Prince William that Meghan Markle was pregnant with their first child, William simply responded with four words.

In 2018, the joy was palpable when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex learned that they would soon become parents. It was at Princess Eugenie’s wedding to Jack Brooksbank in October of that year that they chose to share the happy news with the rest of the royal family.

In his memoir, ‘Spare’, Harry recounts this memorable moment which took place during the reception at St George’s Hall in Windsor. His description brings out a surrealism unusual for the time, as he writes: “I was in a big room with armor on the walls. Strange room, strange moment.”

Looking back at how William reacted to his announcement, Harry recalls breaking into a smile before replying with just four simple words: “We have to tell Kate,” the Mirror reports.

The happy reaction of the Princess of Wales is also worth mentioning. According to Harry, she greeted the news with a big smile and heartfelt congratulations, adding that their reactions were exactly what he had hoped for.

The news of their pregnancy was also shared with King Charles during the wedding. Recalling Charles’ delighted response, the Duke of Sussex wrote: ‘Just before a drink for the bride and groom, I cornered Pa in his office. He was delighted to learn that he would be a grandfather for the fourth time; a big smile warmed me.”

Meghan Markle gave birth to their first child, Prince Archie, on May 6, 2019, at Portland Hospital in London. The couple later welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet, born at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California on June 4, 2021.

In his memoirs, Prince Harry shared his experience of being present at his son’s birth, revealing that he was extremely anxious. To calm his nerves, he decided to use the laughing gas meant for Meghan.

However, as Meghan’s labor intensified, Harry was forced to sheepishly apologize when he realized he had accidentally consumed all the laughing gas. He recounted: “When her contractions started to quicken and deepen, a nurse came in and tried to give Meg some laughing gas.”

“There was none left. The nurse looked at the tank, looked at me, and I could see the thought slowly dawning: Merciful, the husband had it all. I’m sorry, I said gently.”
