Princess Eugenie was upset when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex chose her wedding day to announce they were expecting a child, a new biography of the couple claims.
The princess "told friends she felt the couple should have waited to share the news", a source said.
The decision to share their happy news with friends and family at Eugenie's big day in October 2018 "did not go down particularly well", it is claimed in Finding Freedom.
Eugenie, 30, was said to be "the closest of friends" with her cousin and welcomed Meghan enthusiastically when she and Harry went public with their relationship.
One of the first to find out, Eugenie "told friends she loved Meghan" and thought she was "just the tonic" for Harry.
The princess had "long wanted to see her cousin settle down and be happy", the book claims.
Harry and Eugenie had been on many nights out in London - sneaking into clubs like Mahiki, where her husband Jack Brooksbank was once manager.

Authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand said in the biography the pair "downed shots from Mexican skull-shaped glasses" on the nights out after growing close.
Once Harry and Meghan had settled down, it was reported the couple went on a number of double dates with Eugenie and Jack.
Finding Freedom has revealed a number of details about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, including their early dates and how William's referring to Meghan as "this girl" caused a rift with his younger brother.
The Royal Family is portrayed as uncaring and dysfunctional and it is claimed members were worried Harry and Meghan could come to dominate media coverage.
