All Royals have a method of preventing their arms from flailing around in a chaotic fashion when they are out and about. Possibly, at 37, she wasn’t sure it would happen so quickly.īut there may be another story. It happened even before she had a discernible bump, and I imagine some of this is because she is so delighted to be pregnant. Ultimate Accessory: Meghan covers the bump with her handbag in London this month (right) and in October (left)Ī lot of women feel comforted by touching their baby bump but Meghan appears to indulge more than most. Meghan would be well advised to take the ‘world’s only pregnant woman!’ vibes down a notch or two. It smacks to me of a focus that’s contrived and relentlessly photo-op ready. True enough, in which case I hope its sibling isn’t far behind, or that poor kid’s clearly in for a smothering.īut come on, this is the Duchess of Showbiz we have here. Kinder people would point to an excited new mother’s natural, unconditional love already blossoming. It’s new, it’s exciting and there really is nothing like feeling that thing kick and jump around in there.īut Meghan’s positioning is always so fixed into one singular, rigid pose that it’s becoming uncomfortable to watch. A casual cradling of one’s bump is to be expected. I’ve tried not to find it annoying, but I’m sorry, it just is.
