Pregnant Meghan Markle arrives in New York City for royal baby shower

It looks like Meghan Markle will be celebrating the upcoming birth of her baby on this side of the pond. The Duchess of Sussex arrived in New York City Monday ahead of her royal baby shower Tuesday. The former actress' best friend and stylist Jessica Mulroney is in charge of the festivities, which, according to Page Six, will be taking place at an Upper East Side hotel.

Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle reportedly told friends that she wants to take a "fluid approach to gender" when raising her child.

Markle, 37, is said to have told the friends at her Wednesday royal baby shower in New York City that she is expecting a son, according to Vanity Fair.

“Meghan has been talking to some of her friends about the birth and how she and Harry plan to raise their baby. Her exact word was 'fluid,'" a source told the magazine. "She said they plan to raise their child with a fluid approach to gender and they won’t be imposing any stereotypes."
