Why Meghan Markle Is Cradling Her Baby Bump So Much

FameJune 28, 2019

There have been diverse reactions to the surprise appearance of Meghan Markle at the British Fashion Awards which held last week. The first point of attraction was her outfit, a black Givenchy dress. The next point of attention was her chic, although protocol-breaking, mani. Her jewelry also got its fair share of media attention.

However, it wasn’t all about praises as some users took to Twitter to criticize her for excessively touching her baby bump when she was on stage. There were a lot of negative and totally unnecessary comments, but there were still some positive comments defending the Duchess of Sussex.

After she came on stage to introduce the Womenswear Designer for this year, Meghan stepped off the stage so the winning designer, Clare Waight Keller could give her appreciation and acceptance speech. However, some fans caught the Duchess in the stage background as she shifted and reportedly drew eyes to her baby bump.

The expecting mother had both hands placed underneath her baby bump all through the duration of the event. However, she was reported to have placed one of her hands right on top her belly and she appeared to shut her eyes for a brief moment. According to several opinions on the Internet, she did that because she got a kick from the baby.

Some Twitter users hold the theory that the royal baby was trying to announce his or her presence as well. Some fans have even noted that the kick was a sign that the baby would be as energetic as Prince Harry.

Hypnobirth Expert’s Opinion

KG Hypnobirthing’s founder, Katherine Graves has told a media outlet that Meghan’s tendency to hug her baby bump does have a positive impact. Graves explained that a baby responds each time the mother places a hand on the bump during hypnobirthing classes. She mentioned that the action and reaction were positive and reassuring for both the mother and the baby.

The Duchess of Sussex is due to birth her baby this incoming spring. However, at the moment, they have a couple of construction projects to handle before they officially move to Frogmore Cottage from the Kensington Palace.

Renovations Of Kensington Palace

Sources report that Prince William and Meghan still have a lot of renovations to do on the Frogmore Cottage. According to Ingrid Seward, the royal biographer, the home they intend to move to is pretty much dilapidated at the moment and not particularly the best place to start raising a family. However, Seward added that they already have landscaping plans in place to spruce the grounds and also plans to construct a nursery that is befitting for their royal baby.

A media outlet reports that they will also update the old staff residences as a part of the new dwelling. While Prince William and Kate Middleton stayed at the Kensington Palace for a while, a royal source mentioned that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s choice to relocate to the countryside indicated that they wanted more space. Space according to the source was for children.

Prince Harry’s Preference

Even before they got engaged, there had been speculations from different quarters that they were looking for a house in Cotswolds, an area near London which is also very low-key. Although it has been confirmed that the rumors were false, it also confirms that Prince Harry prefers to be in secluded spots. According to Seward, Harry often feels that he is imprisoned at the Palace and he cannot wait to leave.

Despite the fact that there are a lot of renovation touches to be carried out on the Frogmore Cottage which would likely cost them quite a lot, the estate still has 10 bedrooms and 35 acres. Emily Andrews, a royal correspondent made it known via Twitter that the property is facing the Frogmore House. That was the actual spot where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shot their engagement pictures and also where they went after their wedding.

A media agency has reported that details of the in-depth plans for construction are being kept out of the public because of sensitivity. It is, however, not in doubt that the renovation would turn out to be a marvelous transformation upon completion. Reports also have it that Amal and George Clooney will be godparents to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s baby.
