Harry revealed that Meghan found out she was pregnant days before Princess Eugenie’s wedding in October 2018.
Harry wrote: “We were deliriously happy for her [Eugenie], and for ourselves, selfishly, since Jack was one of our favourite people.”
Speaking about telling his father, Harry said: “At Windsor, just before a drinks reception for the bride and groom, we corner Pa in his study.
“He was sitting behind his big desk, which afforded his favourite view, straight down the Long Walk.”
He continued: “He was delighted to learn that he was going to be a grandfather for a fourth time; his wide smile warmed me.”
Harry also spoke about the reaction he received from William and Kate.
We were in a big room, suits of armour on the walls. Strange room, strange moment.
On telling his older brother the news, Harry wrote: “We were in a big room, suits of armour on the walls. Strange room, strange moment.
“We whispered the news, and Willy smiled and said we must tell Kate.”
Harry added: “She [Kate] was across the room, talking to Pippa.
“So we went and told Kate and she also gave a big smile and hearty congratulations.
“They both reacted exactly as I’d hoped—as I’d wished.”
In his book, Harry also revealed that a doctor had advised Meghan to put on weight as they tried to start a family.
Harry explained: “We didn’t want to wait. We both wanted to start a family straight away.”

Harry said that Meghan had lost a “great deal of weight” prior to them trying for a baby.
The duke added: “I don’t recall which category this doctor sorted Meg into, but she did confirm our suspicion that Meg’s weight loss might be a barrier to conceiving.”
He said the doctor advised Meghan to gain five pounds and she’d be able to get pregnant.
