Meghan Markle travelled to New York last week for a five-day visit to the East Coast in what is expected to be her last visit to the States before she delivers her first child in the Spring. But the Duchess of Sussex has been warned she could have attracted the disapproval of the Queen as she decided to attend a baby shower close friends decided to throw for her at the fashionable The Mark Hotel in the Upper East Side. Channel 7 Entertainment reporter Peter Ford said: "There may be some tone of disapproval about this – because there are reports going around today that the Royal Family don’t approve of baby showers and she is defying them by going to New York and spending time with her close friends in New York.
"There is a dispute about whether the Royal Family do disapprove of baby showers or not, this may be just more of a social visit just to get away for a few days from royal duties.
"Hopefully, it’s going to be a calm and pleasant time – she’s clearly a subject of interest from the paparazzi so I suspect it won’t be that easy."
Meghan however would not be the first royal to have a baby shower as sister-in-law Kate had one thrown in her honour before the birth of her eldest son, Prince George, in 2013.
Among the A-list guests pictured attending the Duchess's celebration was Amal Clooney, the renowned Human Rights lawyer and wife of Hollywood superstar George Clooney.
