This could be a stretch, but Meghan Markle [1] may have been dropping hints about her baby's sex throughout her pregnancy. Following the highly anticipated birth of their first child [2] on May 6, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed for the first time that they had been expecting a boy all along. While we respect the couple's decision to maintain some semblance of privacy [3] during these past nine months, Meghan may have been subtly offering some clues with her wardrobe.
Think about it: how often do you remember Meghan wearing pink in the last nine months? Not a ton, right? Now, how many times did she wear blue? A lot. Not only that, but some of her most memorable maternity outfits [4] involved the colour typically associated with boys. On the other hand, we realise the whole pink-and-blue categorisation is an outdated way of looking at gender, and she may just prefer the colour generally!
Regardless, it's fun to look back at her maternity style moments knowing what we know now. Ahead, please enjoy the many blue outfits Meghan wore during her pregnancy and feel free to come to your own conclusion.
