Meghan Strikes Again New Mum Eugenie In Tears

The happiest time of the princess’ life is tarnished by snide remarks

Princess Eugenie welcomed her firstborn child – a son – last week, sparking a pile-on of congratulatory messages from the Queen and Prince Philip down to the Duchess of Cambridge’s brother James Middleton.

But there was one royal, or formerly so, couple who remained strangely silent on the happy news – the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Sources tell Woman’s Day Meghan, 39, and Harry, 36, “privately congratulated” Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank on the arrival of their baby boy, but their salutations “came with a large dose of passive aggression”.

“Meghan basically made it clear she thought it was ‘super cute’ that they took inspiration for baby York’s birth announcement photo from an artistic photo of her hand holding Archie’s foot that she shared on Mother’s Day, soon after his birth,” says a source.

“American sarcasm can often get lost in translation but I heard Eugenie was left in no doubt that Meghan was really sniping about Eugenie copying her, never mind that half the world’s parents post similar imagery of their babies every day on social media.”

ROYAL RIVALRY

This is just the latest reported jab Meghan’s taken at Eugenie, who was once considered her cousin Harry’s closest confidante within the family.
