Meghan Markle's pregnancy wardrobe said to cost 7 times what Duchess of Cambridge's did

When you on track to have one of the highest-profile pregnancies of all time, there's (wrongly) a certain amount of pressure to look immaculate.

So now Baby Sussex is here, we hope Meghan Markle is enjoying roomy, elasticated clothes and comfy slippers because her maternity outfits , while incredible, aren't what we'd describe as "cosy" in the traditional sense of the word.

Being a public figure with a keen sense of style, Meghan's appearances while pregnant showed her as polished, confidant and impeccable.

While there were a couple of high street items showcased, for the most part, Meghan's maternity wear was high-end - and had the price tag to match.
