Meghan Markle's baby shower cake has been revealed and features a surprise appearance
Meghan Markle celebrated the impending arrival of her first child with Prince Harry surrounded by friends in New York City last week, but turns out the dad actually made a surprise appearance...
Meghan surprised royal fans with a star-studded baby shower in NYC last week, which was attended by celebrities like Amal Clooney and Suits co-star Abigail Spencer, and hosted by Serena Williams.
The Duchess made the trip to the US solo, leaving husband Harry behind, but turns out the expectant dad was not forgotten during the celebrations.
As Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, who was in charge of the incredible treats Meghan had at the party, shared a behind-the-scenes video of the event, he also revealed that the showstopper cake he made for the celebration had a sketch of Meghan and Harry pushing a pram on top of it. How sweet!
As well as indulging in the beautiful sweet treats, the pregnant royal and her friends had fun with a flower arranging session, and they decided to do something very worthwhile with the results.
According to charity Repeat Roses, the floral arrangements from the baby shower were distributed to local charities.
Alongside a picture of the beautiful flowers and the people who received them after the party, the charity said: ‘We were honored to match the beautiful floral arrangements designed by the Duchess of Sussex and her guests, including host @serenawilliams, to a few of our very favorite NYC neighbor organizations.
