Where Was Prince Harry During Meghan Markle’s Baby Shower In NYC?

Meghan Markle is celebrating her little bundle of joy this week in New York City, but Prince Harry was nowhere to be found at her baby shower. That’s because he had a professional engagement keeping him busy across the pond.

The Duke of Sussex was Streatham Youth Center in South London where he was serving up hot lunches to children. Harry also watched as kids jumped on a trampoline and learned jui jitsu.

Prince Harry was there supporting StreetGames’ Fit and Fed campaign, which aims to give young people access to food and physical fitness sessions during school holidays. According to Kensington Palace, there are an estimated 3 million kids in the U.K. whose families cannot afford to feed them when school isn’t in session. The organization provided services to 15,511 young people in 2018.

Meghan, meanwhile, got to celebrate Baby Sussex with her closest pals. Hello! reports that Markle had a 15-person baby shower on Tuesday at the Mark Hotel in New York City. The intimate get together was planned by stylist Jessica Mulroney, who is close friends with Meghan. Actresses Abigail Spencer and Priyanka Chopra were reportedly expected to attend.

The Duchess reportedly landed stateside on Friday, and she’s set to leave soon as well. After all, she is scheduled for an official visit to Morrocco with Harry on Feb. 23. It will be the last trip Meghan can take before she gives birth to her first child this spring. She is expected to deliver Baby Sussex in late April or early May.
