Kate Middleton is 'going all out' to plan a surprise baby shower for Meghan Markle
The Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton is reportedly throwing the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle a baby shower which is going to take place at the Kensington Palace.
According to 'Life&Style' magazine, as reported by 'New Idea', a source close to the royal family shared that, given it is Meghan Markle's first child, "Kate is going all out to make it extra special – a truly unforgettable day". "She's a complete perfectionist and has already begun planning the celebration months in advance. Duchess Kate considered having the shower at Soho Farmhouse, but thinks it'll be easier to host it at her Kensington Palace apartment," the source claimed.
Kate Middleton, who is a mother of three, has been Meghan Markle's rock as she goes through her first pregnancy. Meghan has reportedly been turning to Kate for advise and guidance on babies. "It'll mean the world to Meghan – and Prince Harry – once they find out that Kate's gone out of her way to organize the show," the source continued.
"It'll be a daytime event and guests – including Meghan's pals Jessica Mulroney, Priyanka Chopra, Serena Williams, and Amal Clooney – will be treated to an American-style feast," the insider added. The Duchess of Cambridge wants "Meghan and all her friends from across the pond to feel right at home on the big day".
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle seems to have inspired her father-in-law Prince Charles for his latest photo shoot. The future king who will be turning 70 years old this month posed with his wife Camilla for a Vanity Fair photo shoot. The pictures were clicked by none other than Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's official wedding photographer Alexi Lubomirski.
The photoshoot was taken in May earlier this year and photographer Alexi recalled, "As soon as they looked at each other, there was a sparkle in their eyes – that's when the magic happened. You feel like they are a young couple in love".
Of Meghan and Harry's photoshoot, Alexi said in a statement, "It has been an incredible honor and privilege to document The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's inspiring journey of love, hope and family; from the engagement photos, all the way through to the official wedding and family portraits on Saturday. This has been a beautiful chapter in my career and life, that I will happily never forget".
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are currently expecting their first child together who is due in spring. The couple also recently completed their 16-day tour of Australia, Fiji, Tonga, and New Zealand.
