How Meghan Markle Is Dressing Up Her Baby Bump

For Princess Eugenie of York's wedding, Meghan donned a beautiful navy coat by Givenchy. Though the world did not yet know she was pregnant, the loose jacket ignited rumors that the Duchess of Sussex was trying a shield an emerging baby bump. 

It was at Eugenie's Oct. 12, 2018, wedding to Jack Brooksbank that Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, told their family they were expecting. 

Kensington Palace announced Oct. 15, 2018, that Meghan and Harry were expecting their first child together as the pair embarked on a 16-day tour of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga. 

Upon landing in Australia that day, Meghan carried two purple folders, apparently to shield her bump as she and Harry emerged from the airport to cheering crowds. The folders complemented a beautiful black coat with maroon trim, which she previously wore for a promotional photo for the Invictus Games.

After landing in Australia on Oct. 15, 2018, Meghan switched into a fitted ivory dress by Karen Gee, paired with a trench coat, and showed off her tiny baby bump.

Of course, the dress sold out immediately afterward.

Meghan and Harry stood under umbrellas as rain fell while the pair visited the city of Dubbo on Oct. 16, 2018. She wrote a gray blazer from her friend Serena Williams' collection, paired with a white button-down shirt by Maison Kitsune.
