When Meghan Markle landed in the bustling streets of New York City on February 19 for her first baby shower, the event was nothing short of a star-studded affair. Hosted at the luxurious Mark Hotel, it was a celebration filled with her closest friends. But one notable absence? Her royal sister-in-law, Kate Middleton.
