Prince William replied with a short four-word statement when he was informed by Prince Harry that Meghan Markle was expecting their first child.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were thrilled to discover they would become parents in 2018, and decided to disclose the joyful news to the Royal Family in October that year during Princess Eugenie’s nuptials to Jack Brooksbank.

In his tell-all memoir, ‘Spare’, Harry narrated this poignant moment which took place at the reception hosted in St George’s Hall in Windsor.

He wrote: “We were in a big room, suits of armour on the walls. Strange room, strange moment.”

Then Harry reminisced about William’s reaction to his news saying his brother smiled and simply stated: “We must tell Kate.”

He also described Kate Middleton’s delighted response when she learnt the news as he wrote: “She also gave a big smile and hearty congratulations. They both reacted exactly as I hoped – as I’d wished.”

The news of Meghans pregnancy was also shared with his father, the then Prince Charles, at the wedding.

Harry expressed in his book that the monarch was completely “delighted” when he heard the news.

Recounting the moment, Harry wrote: “Just before a drink reception for the bride and groom, we cornered Pa in his study. He was delighted to learn that he was going to be a grandfather for a fourth time; his wide smile warmed me.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, brought baby Archie into the world on 6th May 2019 at London’s Portland Hospital.

The Royal couple have since joyously welcomed a second child, their daughter Lilibet Diana, born on June 4, 2021, in the Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, California.

In his memoir, the duke reminisced the birth of his first child and confessed he was profoundly nervous.

To calm his anxiety surrounding the birth, Prince Harry sought solace in laughing gas that was intended for Meghan’s pain relief during labour.

However, as the intensity and frequency of Meghan’s contractions increased, Prince Harry was forced to apologise for accidentally using the entire canister of laughing gas.

Recalling the incident, Harry wrote: “When her contractions began to quicken, and deepen, a nurse came and tried to give some laughing gas to Meg.”

“There was none left. The nurse looked at the tank, looked at me, and I could see the thought slowly dawning: Gracious, the husband’s had it all. Sorry, I said meekly.”
