She’s doing things her way, and no one seems to mind! Meghan Markle’s extravagant (and pricey) baby shower in New York City is just the latest example of how the 37-year-old Duchess of Sussex has been shaking up the royal family. And guess what? Queen Elizabeth, the ultimate matriarch, is totally cool with it. In fact, she couldn’t be more supportive.
“The Queen liked her from the start and has a real soft spot for her,” a well-placed insider told Closer Weekly. “Meghan can do no wrong in the Queen’s eyes. She’s been given a lot of leeway at the palace. Meghan has changed everything. The rules just don’t seem to apply to her.” Now, we’re not saying Meghan gave the Queen a big ol’ bear hug or high-fived her, but we’re sure the former actress appreciates the freedom she’s been given to celebrate her baby’s arrival in her own way.
Meghan’s Baby Shower: A Celebration Fit for an American Duchess
Now, for those of us on this side of the pond, a baby shower is a pretty standard way to celebrate the arrival of a little one. It’s all about gathering with friends and family for food, drinks, gifts, and maybe even a few games. But over in the UK, and especially within the royal family, baby showers aren’t exactly part of the tradition. So, when Meghan decided to throw not one, but two days of festivities, it sent ripples through Buckingham Palace—and beyond.

This isn’t just about breaking tradition; it’s about Meghan carving out her own space within the monarchy. She’s blending her American roots with her royal role, and the result is something fresh, modern, and undeniably Meghan.
The Extravaganza Unveiled: A Two-Day Bash in the Big Apple
The details of Meghan’s baby shower extravaganza have been pouring out, and let’s just say it was nothing short of spectacular. The two-day event, hosted at The Mark Hotel in New York City, reportedly cost a staggering $200,000. Lucky for Meghan, she didn’t have to foot the bill herself—her good friend Serena Williams generously picked up the tab. That’s what we call true friendship!
But it wasn’t just Serena in attendance. A star-studded guest list included the likes of Amal Clooney and Meghan’s former Suits co-star Abigail Spencer. It was a celebration filled with laughter, love, and luxury. However, one notable absence was Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge. While some might speculate about tension between the sisters-in-law, sources say it wasn’t drama that kept Kate away. Instead, it was Meghan’s desire to spend time with friends she doesn’t see often and who may not be able to make frequent trips to London.
As we look ahead, it’s clear that Meghan will continue to bring her unique perspective to the royal family. Whether it’s through baby showers, public appearances, or philanthropic efforts, she’s proving that tradition can evolve—and it doesn’t have to lose its charm in the process.
