Meghan Markle keeps a low profile: why she won't organize a baby shower
Pregnant with her second child, Meghan Markle is not expected to organize a baby shower for her baby girl, due to ongoing "conflicts" in the world, a source close to Harry's wife told US Weekly. Wednesday 12 May.
Will Meghan Markle organize a big baby shower for the birth of her daughter? A priori no. According to US Weekly, Prince Harry's wife is unwilling to throw an expensive party as the epidemic continues to wreak havoc around the world. "Meghan doesn't think a big baby shower with gifts is appropriate right now. There is too much conflict in the world," a source close to the American actress, who is pregnant with her second child, said. this Wednesday May 12. Committed to the fight against Covid-19, Archie's mother mobilized to promote vaccination in disadvantaged countries through her Archewell foundation, alongside her husband. "They both feel their time and resources can be put to better use," the couple's loved one adds to US Weekly.
Besides its humanitarian reasons, the memory of Archie's baby shower probably played on this decision. Then seven months pregnant, Meghan Markle had sparked controversy by organizing a party deemed expensive, in February 2019. This small reception had gathered fifteen close friends in New York, at the time when the companion of Prince Harry, little- son of Elizabeth II, was still engaged with the British crown. At the casting of the festivities, several celebrities had responded, including tennis champion Serena Williams and lawyer Amal Clooney. A very controversial reception, in a prestigious penthouse at the Mark Hotel, which had fueled many rumors about the exact cost of social events. In legal proceedings against Associated Newspapers (Daily Mail), the Suits actress attacked the tabloid for spreading false information about the baby shower. If the sum of 270,000 euros had been mentioned for a while, the budget would have actually represented "a tiny part" of this amount, his lawyers said.
A very noticeable absence
Beyond the amount spent, Meghan Markle's New York trip caused a lot of ink to flow for another reason. The mother of the actress, Doria Ragland, did not make the trip to celebrate the birth of her grandson. While her daughter feasted with her friends, the yoga teacher was photographed walking her dog in Los Angeles. Faced with the controversy, the main interested party had retaliated by legal means. "The mother of the claimant was of course invited, Meghan also offered to buy her plane tickets", said her lawyers, saying that Doria Ragland was prevented "because of professional commitments".
