You could be right.The papers said Bea's pregnancy announcement on Meg's 3rd wedding anniversary was a dig at Meg for announcing her pregnancy at Eugenie’s wedding.
Excellent timing of the announcement as well.
I wish her a healthy pregnancy and an uncomplicated birth. I still can't get over how beautiful she looked in her grandmother's dress and with that lucky tiara. QE and PF looked so genuinely happy on that day. 
Today I asked: "And what is Beatrice doing now?"
Just by chance - without knowing anything.
And bingo!
There actually is quite a bit of news!

Why being so harsh on Beatrice?
I would give her the benfit of the doubt.
Thus far I have no reason for a complaint.
Her finance' is cute. Congrats to her!
Princess Beatrice is engaged to her boyfriend Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, her parents have announced.
The 31-year-old daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, got engaged to the 34-year-old property tycoon in Italy earlier this month.
The princess, who is ninth in line to the throne, will marry Mr Mapelli Mozzi next year.
"We are both so excited to be embarking on this life adventure together," the pair said in a statement.
"We share so many similar interests and values, and we know that this will stand us in great stead for the years ahead, full of love and happiness," they added.

Beatrice said on Twitter she was "so excited" by the announcement.
The Duke and Duchess of York said: "We are thrilled that Beatrice and Edoardo have got engaged, having watched their relationship develop with pride."
"We are the lucky parents of a wonderful daughter who has found her love and companion in a completely devoted friend and loyal young man. We send them every good wish for a wonderful family future," they added.
"I know what a mother feels so I have tears of joy," the duchess added on Twitter .

"I am so proud of this sensational news," she said.
"Andrew and I are just the luckiest people ever to have two great sons in law."
Mr Mapelli's parents, Nikki Williams-Ellis and Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi, said they were "truly delighted" by the engagement.
"Our family has known Beatrice for most of her life. Edo and Beatrice are made for each other, and their happiness and love for each other is there for all to see," they said.
"They share an incredibly strong and united bond, their marriage will only strengthen what is already a wonderful relationship."

The BBC's royal correspondent, Jonny Dymond, said he believed the pair had been together for about two years - and that they have only been seen together in public a handful of times. He said things have "moved pretty quickly".
He said Mr Mapelli Mozzi is a wealthy businessman who has a two-year-old son from a previous relationship.
Mr Mapelli Mozzi is the director of Banda, a property development firm, according to Companies House .
'Meant to be'
Beatrice's sister, Princess Eugenie, married her long-term partner Jack Brooksbank at Windsor Castle in October 2018.

"I'm so happy for you my dearest big sissy and dear Edo," Princess Eugenie said in an Instagram post congratulating the pair .
"It's been a long time coming and you two are meant to be," she added.
Beatrice is the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh's granddaughter, and a cousin of the Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex.
Her parents, the Duke and Duchess of York, divorced in 1996. The duke, Prince Andrew, is the third child of the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh.
In addition to his royal engagements, Andrew served as a special trade representative for the government until 2011, when his links to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein forced him to step down.
Further details of Beatrice's wedding will be announced in due course, her parents said.
Looking back to those September days in 2019
Interesting. If Beatrice timed her baby announcement to get back at Meghan on her wedding anniversary, I say good for Beatrice!
It’s good news! I’m just happy for her. She looks better than ever - is it Edo ? Is it simple joy?
In any case, glad to hear good news. As for H&M, it wouldn’t surprise me to find out they themselves suggested Bea announce today. Ya kno, they love to stir the pot and keep their names in the news.

I wonder whether British bookers already except bets as to the baby's name?
I've heard they have already! They are betting on a name that pays tribute to Edo's Italian heritage which could be something like Florence, Allegra, Francesca, etc., if it is a girl.
Let us also talk about Beatrice and her future Baby.
