Meghan Markle looks radiant in a $1,895 peachy pink dress while cradling her blooming baby bump
Heavily pregnant Duchess Meghan recently got named the Royal patron of the National Theatre. For her outing on Wednesday, she chose to stun in peachy pink.
The Duchess wore a dress by Brandon Maxwell and paired it with a matching blazer. She was seen cradling her baby bump as she attended to her duties.
The new Royal patron for the National Theatre, Duchess Markle, appeared at the engagement without her husband Prince Harry. She wore her $1,895 Brandon Maxwell V-neck mini dress, which has sold out on Moda Operandi, with a blazer and the same Aquazzura Matilde shoes she wore for her engagement announcement in November 2017.

The former actress found a perfect fit in her new patronage as she’s worked in the arts. Kensington Palace revealed that Meghan had become the patron of the National Theater because she's a "believer in using the arts to bring people from different backgrounds and communities together."

At the theater, she learned more about the work that is done there and she got the pleasure of meeting some of the staff and apprentices who work behind the scenes. As usual, Meghan was welcomed by a crowd that cheered for her after waiting to catch a glimpse of the Royal.

It was responsible for bringing together people of all ages to put on a musical version of the Shakespeare play. Last year, Meghan took over the role as the theater’s patron from the Queen.

The Duchess also met children who were studying at the theater and shared a joke with them about remembering their lines when reading for their roles. Meghan has a background in stage acting and she studied theater and international relations at Northwestern University, Illinois.
Thank you to the children of Edith Neville Primary School for a fantastic performance @NationalTheatre!

Hypnobirthing expert Katharine Graves revealed that Meghan’s love for cradling her baby bump was biological. She shared that it was natural for the Royal from a “biological perspective.”
She explained:
“Placing your hands on your bump comforts the baby, comforts you, and helps create the optimum conditions for labour.”
