Fab news, Harry will be an amazing dad!
I can't see the issue with them telling other royals at the wedding (if indeed they did this rather than having told them before hand). I suspect there were plenty of times the senior royals (HM, Phil, Charles, W&K) were alone with to be told the news in a way that wasn't announcing it during the wedding speeches. I suspect personally that Charles & Camilla, Doria, W & K probably knew after the 12week scan with the other royals either before the wedding (maybe the night before) or after the ceremony.
I suspect they had to announce now, there is no way after the picture of her arriving causes so much gossip that they could get through a whole intense tour like this one without it going into overdrive!
I also think the Palace PR team were happy for it to be announced now as:
it means they can announce in Australia, the most republican leaning of all Commonwealth countries to get some good PR to kick of interest in the tour.
no offence to Eugenie but with some people moaning about the cost, use of police etc it gives the public a "cute" royal story to distract.
At the end of the day the monarchy is bigger than just Eugenie lol
