Meghan Markle is almost ready to give birth to her first baby, and she is that phase in her pregnancy where a future mother-to-be is set to have a baby shower. However, the royal family has rules about baby showers, and despite that, there have been rumors going around that Meghan Markle might have a shower after all.

Royal baby shower
Meghan Markle has already set her nursery, but a baby shower in the royal family is something that is not happening. Since Markle is known for breaking the rules, this baby shower might not be an exception.
Royal rules
A baby shower in the royal family is not forbidden, it is simply a tradition for the royal family not to throw one, because with all their richness, “a lavish baby shower would be seen as highly inappropriate,” as stated by royal expert Victoria Arbiter. “There’s nothing they can’t go out and buy themselves,” she added.
Not popular in the UK
A baby shower is very popular in America, but in the United Kingdom not so much. Meghan Markle had to find a way to adjust in the new family and the new country she is living in, and she accepted British customs as part of her life.
Gifts
Even though there is a rule for not throwing a baby shower, Meghan Markle still can accept presents if some of her friends and family decide to give her one.
Kate Middleton is planning the shower?
Even though there have been rumors about Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton fighting, Kate Middleton got permission from the Queen and offered to throw Markle a baby shower. At least that is what rumors say. Since the royal family has it all, and they like to give each other some humorous presents, that is what Markle’s baby shower might look like. We will just have to wait and see the development of the event.
