Meghan Markle was all smiles in a charming pink dress at a friend's baby shower, as seen in an Instagram photo shared by her close friend Kelly Zajfen.
The Duchess of Sussex joined the celebration for Samantha Stone, who is expecting a baby girl, donning a pale pink fitted dress to match the pink-themed event.
This marks Meghan's first public appearance since attending a gala without Prince Harry last week, as he was at an event in New York. In the photo, Meghan is pictured without Harry.
Samantha Stone holds the role of chief membership officer at the exclusive Soho House, and they were also joined by Markus Anderson, Soho House's global membership director and another of Meghan's good friends. Kelly, who uploaded the picture on Instagram, captioned it: "I love a theme. Wear Pink she said! Celebrating our sweet baby girl coming oh so soon! Adore you @samanthamstone and can't wait to meet baby Stone. She's a lucky little girl to have a mama like you. Love, Auntie Kelly."
The Suits alum wore a light pink Posse Alice linen midi dress to the party, according to People. She was photographed candidly smiling beside her friends.
Stone wore a pink halterneck gown with ruffle details on the neckline, while Zajfen wore a tweed babydoll dress. Anderson, the group's sole male friend, complimented the ladies in a pink polo with a pink sweater draped across his shoulders.
Meghan Markle, no stranger to the baby shower tradition, famously celebrated her own in 2019 before the birth of Prince Archie, now aged five. She enjoyed a five-day stay in New York City with celebrity friends including Serena Williams and Amal Clooney.
Markle, as the world knows, is a mother herself. She shares her daughter, Princess Lilibet, 3, and son, Prince Archie, 5, with her husband, Prince Harry. Around the time of her first pregnancy, she had her own baby shower, attended by friends like Amal Clooney and Gayle King, in NYC.
Since welcoming her children, Markle and the Spare author, 40, have candidly shared how much they love being parents. In 2022, the Duke of Sussex told Today he loves all aspects of fatherhood and always wanted to be a dad.
In late November, Markle discussed Christmas with her kids in a Marie Claire interview, saying the experience keeps getting better and better. The former actress, who has embarked on an entrepreneurial path since exiting the British Royal family with her husband in 2021, shared that she can’t wait to see the beloved holiday through her kids’ eyes.
While Markle is excited for Christmas, her husband recently revealed at an event that he enjoys raising their kids in Montecito, California, rather than in the UK, as it allows them to lead more normal lives and enjoy their childhood.
