Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, may be just weeks away from welcoming her first child with Prince Harry. But that didn’t stop the radiant royal from taking a whirlwind secret trip to New York City!
Spotted in the City That Never Sleeps: Meghan’s Low-Key NYC Visit
The Duchess was spotted bundled up in a chic overcoat and a stylish gray cap, attempting to keep a low profile as she navigated the bustling streets of Manhattan with her bodyguard. Despite her best efforts, there was no mistaking that pregnancy glow, the telltale baby bump, and, of course, that stunning engagement ring gifted by Prince Harry. These exclusive photos, courtesy of the Daily Mail, offer the first glimpse of Meghan on day four of her five-day trip to the Big Apple.
Baby Shower Buzz: Celebrating with Close Friends and NYC Chic
Sources reveal that the Duchess’s visit was shrouded in secrecy, planned as a last hurrah before the royal baby arrives. It’s a chance to reconnect with her closest friends, indulge in some pre-baby shopping, and be the guest of honor at a luxurious baby shower. At seven months pregnant, this trip marks a significant milestone, likely her last international trip before she embraces motherhood.
Harper’s Bazaar reported the Duchess enjoying a delightful Saturday in the trendy Soho district. She was seen at the chic French eatery, La DeRay, indulging in tea and macaroons with her longtime best friend, Canadian stylist Jessica Mulroney. Us Weekly followed suit, reporting on Meghan’s shopping spree at the nearby children’s clothing store, Bonpoint.
