But will the Duchess of Sussex host a lavish baby shower like she did with Archie?

It hasn’t been confirmed but it is highly possible Meghan will have a baby shower, especially given she had one for first child Archie.
Baby showers are more of an American tradition, and expecting mums will often throw a “baby sprinkle” to celebrate their second child.
A sprinkle is often a more scaled down event, and presents will often be tailored to things the mum really needs, as she already has some supplies from her first child.
Now that Meghan has stepped down as a senior royal, we could see her hosting a soiree in her new Californian mansion.
We are likely to see many of the same people who attended Meghan’s first baby shower with Archie.
The star-studded bash saw the likes of Serena Williams, Abigail Spencer, Amal Clooney and Gayle King flock to New York for the celebrations.
Other people to attend were Markus Anderson, a consultant for Soho House, her wedding make-up artist Daniel Martin, designer Misha Nonoo and her Canadian fashion stylist and BFF Jessica Mulroney.
It is possible that Meghan may invite some of her new LA pals, including Oprah Winfrey who conducted her recent bombshell interview.
Meghan’s mum Doria Ragland could also be part of a baby shower.
It hasn’t been confirmed if a baby shower will take place, given coronavirus restrictions, but it is likely that Meghan will host a gathering in the US.
This could be at hers and Harry’s £11million mansion in Santa Barbara.
The nine-bedroom pad could certainly hold a large crowd, and boasts a pool, theatre, arcade and guest house.
The duke and duchess told TV host Oprah Winfrey during their bombshell interview that they are expecting a baby girl.
When asked when their baby girl is due, Meghan confirmed “summertime”, which means she could arrive after Archie’s second birthday in May.
The couple announced on Valentine’s Day that they were expecting their second child.
The wonderful news comes just months after Meghan revealed her “unbearable grief” after suffering a miscarriage in July, 2020.
No expense was spared when it came to Meghan’s baby shower for Archie, which took place in February 2019, before the royal tot arrived in May that year.
The baby shower reportedly cost £330,000, with the mum-to-be given lavish gifts for Baby Sussex, including a £290 crib.
Pregnant Meghan was also said to have taken a £95,000 private jet to her star-studded bash, which took place at the prestigious The Mark Hotel.
With a £54,000-a-night-penthouse suite, it’s thought to be one of the most expensive in New York.
Celebrity pals included Amal Clooney, Serena Williams and Suits star Abigail Spencer.
Dozens of flowers were ordered to the hotel ahead of Meghan’s arrival, and the Duchess’ friends were spotted bringing gifts.
