They said, “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex would have been amongst the first to hear the news of Eugenie’s pregnancy.
“Meghan and Harry are close with Eugenie – and not only has she stayed with them in California, but they have been on holidays together before Harry’s marriage.
“If the Sussexes come to the coronation in May, there will be an added incentive to see Eugenie as by then it is doubtful if she will want to travel herself.”
Princess Eugenie and Jack already share a son, August, who will be turning two years old on February 9.
Their first son was safely delivered in London’s Portland Hospital, with Buckingham Palace confirming the news.
