An intimate baby show among friends is as much for the people throwing it as it is for the mother-to-be. It's something they want to do for their friend. How can you begrudge Meghan that?

I seriously wonder about some of you sometimes...

Amen to this last statement. You hit the nail on the head!

So, should no one of means have a baby shower?
Maybe some sort of income cutoff should be established. A Bureau of Baby Shower Eligibility could determine from tax returns whether or not the expectant parents qualify. A marvelous idea.

I know, right?

Never in my life have I heard so much ridiculousness (is that a word?) about wealthy people and gifts. Talk about taking the joy out of a happy occasion! People of all incomes enjoy having things that were given to them by the special people in their lives. Not everything is about money.

(And why does anyone here even care if Meghan receives baby gifts? If anyone has an issue with it, they don't have to send a gift. Easy breezy!)

I don't know if I would call it "jealousy"..

But there does seem to be a lot of resentment with her receiving some nice gifts from a small circle of close friends.

(Maybe someone could give her some of the Q mugs that were going to end up in the trash.)

I’m glad she is going to enjoy the needed support of a gathering of friends, given some of the nastiness she has had to endure. I’m sure she needs that circle of love right now.

@libbyannE Now that’s exactly what I was thinking.

How exciting for Meghan! Catching up with her best friends, being in New York, eating some really good food and enjoying her time back in the States. I dont think its so much about the baby gifts but more about seeing her friends telling them what life is like in the Palace and other good conversations.

Im so happy for her an the baby.

Every first-time mother should have a chance at a baby shower. It is a way for friends and family to join in on the excitement and anticipation! Shouldn't matter what their status is in life.

It's possible they wanted to get together and doing it in NYC is easier for Meghan to get to/from.

She must not be that far along if she can still fly.

How would anyone know if there were any gifts, if there were gifts what was done with the gifts, and why would anyone care? Her friends just want to share in the joy about the baby, I assume. Especially since she lives in another country now and doesn't see those friends much if at all. She's very lucky to have loyal friends, and they all seem to say that she is a caring loyal friend too.

That was exactly my point and “ridiculous” negativity ensued. 🙄 Most likely there will be gifts. And with all of Meghan’s charity work, especially with children, any gifts will probably go to a very appreciative and deserving cause. She has become part of a world that is very new to her and she has done it with, what appears to be, an amazing sense of ease and grace. I hope today she has the time of her life, “showered” by immense love and laughter, (and cake!) - gifts or no gifts. (And for the record, I adore BOTH Meghan and Princess Kate. I lived in the UK during the Princess Diana years and the Monarchy has completely changed, and continues to change, for the better, because of these three beautiful souls.💕)

Why would any grown adult criticize and judge a first time mother-to-be for accepting an invitation from close friends who love her and want to share in her excitement and joy? I will never understand people. If I despised someone I wouldn’t begrudge them that. It really depresses me. I knew I shouldn’t have opened this thread. My own fault.

@I agree it is hard to comprehend but I seem to be left scratching my head often these days.
