All the Ways Meghan Markle May Have Been Hiding Her Baby News
Kensington Palace announced on Monday that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are expecting their first child. SO exciting, right??!!! Ah, congrats, you guys!
Meghan is reportedly only about 12 weeks along in her pregnancy journey, and honestly, most people don't "show" a ton at this early of a stage.
Nevertheless, eagle-eyed fans of the couple have spotted some diversion tactics she may have employed to throw us all off her tracks. Below, six tricks she may have used to keep the public off the scent:
1. Coats. Lots and lots of coats.
Look, it's cold-ish outside in England right now, and it makes perfect sense that Meghan would be wearing coats a lot for this exact reason. BUT ALSO, jackets do a great job of hiding midsections and giving the illusion of a streamlined appearance-a.k.a. what bump?!
2. Blazers. Also a ton of those.
Blazers work in very much the same way as other jackets in terms of hiding a potential bump.
3. Peplum-a classic bump-hider.
Goes without saying that a peplum detail that cuts away from the stomach will hide any bump someone isn't ready to share yet. Take the Oscar de la Renta one she wore on September 24, which featured voluminous frilling, for example.
4. Her...hair? Yeah.
When Meghan showed up to this event with straight hair, fan theories abounded about pregnancy, and not just because she was wearing that peplum shirt. Because she wore her hair straight and it was the first time she'd done so since getting engaged to Prince Harry. Apparently, changing up your hair right before you announce a pregnancy is a sweet diversion tactic Kate Middleton has used in the past-and, hey, it could be true in Meghan's case too!
5. Various clutches positioned right in front of her stomach.
Look, this is just a normal way to carry a clutch, but it's also very good placement if you want to hide a certain something from the prying eyes of cameras, so...
6. Ruffles and pleats galore.
Much like peplum, well-placed ruffles and pleats can do a good job distracting the eye.
