Prince Harry and Princess Meghan impressed at the red carpet last night as they stepped out to celebrate the achievements of wounded, injured and sick military veterans who have taken on remarkable challenges.
The two were at the Endeavour Fund Awards in London’s Draper’s Hall honouring those who, despite life-changing injuries, accidents or illnesses, have excelled in sporting and adventure pursuits.
Meghan dressed her baby bump in almost head-to-toe bespoke Givenchy, pairing a crisp white shirt with a side-split skirt and box clutch by the designer, which she teamed with £530 Aquazzura ‘Rendez Vous’ pumps.
As they moved around the pre-awards party at Draper’s hall, Harry was heard to tell one invitee: ‘There’s a heavy baby in here.’ For her part, Meghan told one guest: ‘He’s going to be the best dad.’
This visiti comes after a magazine article published this week in which five ‘close friends’ of the pregnant Duchess spoke out on the ’emotional trauma’ she has experienced as the result of abusive comments on social media and the ongoing public feud with her father Thomas Markle.
an account of how Meghan had done her utmost to support her father, despite him betraying her by co-operating with a paparazzi photographer over staged photoshoots.
After the wedding she reportedly wrote him an emotional letter – which was given almost verbatim to the magazine – asking him to ‘stop victimizing me through the media so we can repair our relationship’. He replied, apparently, requesting a photo opportunity.
The group of unnamed friends also voiced their concerns about the effects the strain could well be taking its toll on Meghan and Prince Harry’s unborn child.
‘We worry about what this is doing to her and the baby,’ they said. ‘It’s wrong to put anyone under this level of emotional trauma, let alone when they’re pregnant.’
