Meghan Markle, who shared close ties with Prince Harry’s cousin Princess Eugenie, broke her silence on social media after Buckingham Palace confirmed the 36-year-old royal’s third pregnancy.
The news comes as much-needed relief after the months of turmoil the royal family has faced over the bombshells exposed in Epstein’s files, particularly about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson.
The Duchess of Sussex had been quiet on social media since the last two weeks following the conclusion of her tour, but just as the big news hit, there was a new update on her official Instagram account.
The founder of As Ever had shared a short clip of her appearance on Down with Sean and Marley which was filmed during the last leg of their Australian tour.
Meghan said she was “very happy to be in Australia” and received a surprise from the Australian hosts, two best friends with Down syndrome who run their joint cooking channel on YouTube.
It was a touching interaction as she also received a special gift for her two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, and a very “naughty” gift for Prince Harry.
Meghan’s meeting with Sean and Marley comes just a year after they recreated Meghan’s ‘pot pasta’ on their Netflix show. Love, Meghan.
The video received around 157k views and the Duchess clearly loved the recreation as she sent the two a thank you note and a gift basket full of her favorite As Ever products.
While it is possible that the video was scheduled to be released on a certain date without knowing that the Palace would choose to share the baby announcement around this time, royal experts argue otherwise.
They believe this is Meghan’s “strategy” to steal the spotlight from positive royal news.
