Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are expecting the birth of their first child towards the end of this month. But, one royal expert has claimed Meghan has been using a “Hollywood” tactic when cradling her baby bump. Celebrity journalist, Ashley Pearson, told QuestRed’s documentary, ‘Meghan and Harry: A Royal Baby Story’ Meghan has been “cupping” her belly.

She said: “It is something that women do in Hollywood. They cup their belly.

“She cups it from top and bottom as if to say ‘it’s really here folks’ – this is a royal baby.”

She added: “Whether it is a protective instinct she is doing, or whether it is a way to make sure everyone gets a good picture.

“Meghan is definitely way into the belly cup.”

On the documentary, Juliet Angus, a fashion and lifestyle blogger, added: “They’re cooking royal babies here. So they want everyone to know that.”

The Duchess of Sussex is expecting her and Prince Harry’s first child in the coming weeks and has been enjoying maternity leave at her new home on the Windsor Estate, Frogmore Cottage.

Last week, Meghan and Prince Harry announced they have made the “personal decision” not to share details about the tot, who will be seventh in line to the throne, until they have had time to “celebrate privately”.

Meghan and Prince Harry’s household said: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very grateful for the goodwill they have received from people throughout the United Kingdom and around the world as they prepare to welcome their baby.

“Their Royal Highnesses have taken a personal decision to keep the plans around the arrival of their baby private.

“The Duke and Duchess look forward to sharing the exciting news with everyone once they have had an opportunity to celebrate privately as a new family.”

It follows growing speculation that Meghan could opt for a home birth at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor.

The Royal couple moved into Frogmore Cottage in Windsor after it was given a huge refurbishment.

The couple announced they were moving out of Kensington Palace in November to move away from Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge.

Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey, where the Countess of Wessex gave birth to her children, has also been suggested as it is close to Meghan and Harry’s new house.

Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland is due to fly from LA to the UK this month ahead of the birth of her first grandchild.
