Meghan Markle has been photographed outside New York City hotel The Mark, where her closest friends are expected to celebrate her pregnancy with a baby shower. The Duchess of Sussex wore oversized sunglasses and cradled her baby bump as she headed out.
The pregnant royal wore the ‘Nearly Skinny Maternity’ jeans by Hatch Maternity as well as beige heels and a matching handbag by Carolina Herrera.

Abigail Spencer, who costarred with Meghan on Suits, arrived at the hotel holding a gift bag decorated with green and blue flowers. The actress shared a photo of herself on Instagram making her way through an airport on Monday, sparking talk that she may be joining her pal for the celebrations.
Toronto-based stylist Jessica Mulroney, whose three children served important roles in Meghan’s bridal party at her royal wedding, is among those expected to host Meghan’s baby shower. Friends reported to also be in attendance include Serena Williams, Priyanka Chopra and Misha Nonoo. Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, could also fly in from Los Angeles for the celebration.
Decorations believed to be for the bash, including dozens of floral arrangements, were delivered outside the The Mark on Tuesday.

Baby showers are reportedly not celebrated for royal mums-to-be usually. Royal expert Victoria Arbiter told The Sun, “A lavish baby shower would be seen as highly inappropriate. There’s nothing they can’t go out and buy themselves.”
However, there is a slight exception: an informal party with gifts provided only by Meghan’s inner circle.
We hope Instagram is allowed at the big bash!
