While no exact due date has been given, Meghan is expected to give birth in March or April 2019.
JULY
Meghan will have just fallen pregnant when she visited Ireland in July. Looking back at the photos, do you think the Duchess was showing signs of her pregnancy? See how her baby bump has grown month by month…
EARLY AUGUST
In early August, Meghan attended the wedding of Prince Harry’s close friends, Charlie van Straubenzee and Daisy Jenks, in Surrey. The royal wasn’t showing yet, and hid her petite frame under a loose sleeveless blouse and a floaty pleated, midi skirt by Club Monaco.
SEPTEMBER
The following month in September, Meghan looked sensational in a long sleeved black dress by Givenchy, which featured a thigh-high slit and fitted bodice. There were still no signs of a baby bump. Instead, she drew attention to her slim waist with her gold and black belt.
EARLY OCTOBER
But the rumour mill started swirling in October when Prince Harry’s wife stepped out in a tight leather skirt in Sussex. The royals were visiting their namesake county, and for the day trip, Meghan chose the Hugo Boss number which skimmed over her very tiny bump.
MID OCTOBER
A few weeks later and Meghan’s bump is starting to show. The Duchess hasn’t needed to hide her pregnancy now that she and Harry have confirmed their exciting news. Meghan’s changing figure was clear to see in the first week of her Australia tour, when she sported a Dion Lee navy dress that emphasised her new curve.
MID OCTOBER
During a walkabout on Fraser Island, Meghan was pictured sweetly cradling her baby bump as she greeted well wishers. The mum-to-be wore a floaty linen dress by American eco-friendly brand Reformation, which perfectly highlighted her changing figure.
MID OCTOBER
Whilst attending a reception and state dinner hosted by the President of Fiji, mum-to-be Meghan showed off her blossoming bump, which her full-length blue gown by designer Safiyaa perfectly highlighted.
MID NOVEMBER
The Duchess’ protruding bump really started to show in October/November time. Here, Meghan is pictured arriving at the Royal Variety Performance in London – her first time at the event, when she accompanied Harry. She stunned in a beautiful outfit that consisted of a black halter-neck top with white floral embroidery by Safiyaa, which she teamed with a floor-length black skirt and heels.
