The Queen and both families are said to be ‘delighted’ with the news, which will have brought much joy to the monarch who is mourning the loss of her husband Prince Philip, who died last month aged 99.
But Daily Mail journalist Richard Eden pointed out the timing of the announcement, branding it an ‘interesting coincidence’ that the #royal baby news was announced on Harry and #Meghan’s wedding anniversary.
He added: ‘Beatrice’s sister, Princess Eugenie, was said to have been surprised that Meghan chose to announce that she was pregnant to guests at her wedding in 2018.’
Several royal fans took social media to agree, with one writing: ‘Here comes Karma! Lovely news too,’ while a second commented: ‘I love it. A little karma/poetic justice.’

The royal was also spotted strolling through London on 4 May and concealed any hint of a baby bump by wrapping up warm in a brown coat with a black tie up belt.
Looking chic and stylish, she carried a blue Louis Vuitton Handbag with dark sunglasses as she chatted away on her phone out in Mayfair.
Her baby boy or girl will be born 11th in line to the throne. But although their mother is a princess, their father has no title, meaning they will be plain Master or Miss Mozzi.
