As you’ve likely heard by now, Meghan Markle is expecting her first child.
This means, of course, that her loved ones will be hosting a baby shower — and by “loved ones,” we’re referring to her Meghan’s in-laws and not the awful members of the Markle family.
Granted, a Markle shower would be quite the amusing trainwreck, especially the part where everyone reads their top one hundred complaints about the way Meghan has chosen to live her life.
But at the end of the day, the Windsor clan will probably host a more enjoyable soiree for the guest of honor.
Not surprisingly, Kate Middleton has reportedly been placed in charge of the festivities.
“[Kate]’s a complete perfectionist and has already begun planning the celebration months in advance,” a source tells Life & Style.
“Duchess Kate considered having the shower at Soho Farmhouse, but thinks it’ll be easier to host it at her Kensington Palace apartment.”
The insider goes on to describe Kate and Meghan’s relationship as “togetherness at its finest,” noting that Middleton “has been Meghan’s rock during the pregnancy.
“[Meghan] has been turning to Kate for all kinds of baby advice,” says the insider.
“It’ll mean the world to Meghan — and Prince Harry — once they find out that Kate’s gone out of her way to organize the shower.”
We’re guessing it’s sort of assumed that Kate is gonna go all out.
She’s literally a duchess who used to be a professional party planner.
Would be a bit of a disappointment if she just hung some streamers and picked up a veggie platter from whatever the London equivalent of Wegman’s is.
As for the details, the insider says it’ll be a star-studded affair that should make Meghan feel right at home:
“It’ll be a daytime event,” says the source.
“Guests, including Meghan’s pals Jessica Mulroney, Priyanka Chopra, Serena Williams and Amal Clooney, will be treated to an American-style feast.”
American-style? So a buffet line of steam trays filled with sandwiches and tacos in which the bread and tortillas have been replaced with fried chicken?
Sounds effing delicious. How do we score an invite?
