Or how to compile a maternity wardrobe like The Duchess of Sussex...

Words by Sarah-Rose Harrison

Regardless of whether you're expecting or not, we can all appreciate how flawless the Duchess of Sussex's maternity wardrobe has been. Much like the Duchess of Cambridge and Princess Diana before her Meghan Markle has a few sartorial tips to ensure that she always looks impeccable whether off-duty or on Royal visits -we even dedicated an entire article solely to the Duchesses' best looks from her and Prince Harry's recent tours of Australia, New Zealand and Morocco.

Since the Duchess and Prince Harry first announced that they would be expecting their first child in October 2018 the world's eyes have been firmly fixed upon Meghan's maternity style with everyone watching, shopping and replicating the elegant looks she's selected to style her bump.

Despite now being heavily pregnant Meghan's still absolutely nailing maternity chic, whilst also remaining true to her signature style. Opting for designs from both British designer's and the high street as well as American and Canadian brands Meghan's flawless fashion choices have resulted in labels, like Charlotte Elizabeth and Sarah Flint entirely selling-out of the pieces she's seen and photographed in.

We've compiled an edit of seven of our favourite looks from Meghan, charting her blossoming baby bump through her maternity wardrobe...

The Duchess of Sussex stunned in this embroidered Oscar De La Renta midi gown to the Australian Geographic Society. Delicately detailed with a laser-cut bird motif this statement style was such an apt choice for a wildlife conservation event.
