Meghan Markle 'openly told her baby shower guests she's expecting a BOY', sources claim

A source close to one of the party goers told The Mail On Sunday that Meghan Markle, 37, was telling guests her baby will be a boy.

“She was talking openly about it,” said the source.

Meghan has previously said that she does not want to know the baby’s gender and a Kensington Palace confirmed this was still the case.

The source added that, regardless of the baby’s gender, Meghan is determined to break from the idea of “pink for a girl, blue for a boy”, believing it to be old-fashioned.

Instead, Meghan will take a “fluid” approach such as using  gender-neutral colours for the nursery.


Meghan, now seven months pregnant, flew from London to the US last Friday for five nights of shopping and pampering.

She was spotted buying baby clothes at high-end store Bonpoint and enjoying a leisurely lunch in the city on Saturday.

A pal said: “The trip is a lovely chance to catch up with friends and spend time in a city she loves.

“This will be the last time a lot of them will see Meg until after the baby is born so it’s nice to share precious moments.

“It’s been a relaxing visit. Nothing beats face time with your friends. Meg will be flying home refreshed and relaxed — and with a lot of new baby clothes.”

The duchess' pals, including Jessica Mulroney, organised a special baby shower party on Tuesday at an exclusive New York hotel, The Mark.

Foodie Meghan has also enjoyed exclusive private dining at her swanky hotel.

She was also spotted with stylist pal Jess, 39, at the French Ladurée cafe in New York’s SoHo district on Saturday, February 16, for macaroons and tea in one of the bakery’s private spaces.

A witness said: “They were having a lovely time, laughing and talking with each other.”

Meghan flew to see her best mates after enjoying a low-key Valentine’s Day meal with husband Harry, 33, on Thursday night.

Meghan takes her last flights this weekend before the birth of baby Sussex in April.

She and Harry will visit Morocco for a three-day visit on behalf of the British government.

A Palace spokesman said of the February 23 to 25 trip: “The Duke and Duchess are looking forward to the visit which will highlight the vital roles that girls’ education and youth empowerment are playing in, and shaping, modern Morocco.”
