Meghan Markle's baby bump is getting bigger. The Duchess of Sussex's pregnant belly was on full display while Markle and her husband Prince Harry enjoyed a night out on the town.
The couple appeared at the Royal Variety Performance in London on Monday, which just so happened to fall on the newlywed's six-month wedding anniversary. The evening marked the new royal's first time at the annual televised gala, which celebrates and supports entertainers struggling in their field due to old age and health concerns.
Markle was all smiles at the event, glowing from head to toe in an embroidered, leaf pattern, black-and-white halter top paired with a floor-length black skirt—compliments of British designer label Safiyaa. Harry matched his wife with a smoldering black tuxedo.
As dashing as the couple looked walking hand-in-hand into the event, it was Markle's growing baby bump that stole the show. Although the 37-year-old's pregnancy was only made public nearly a month ago, the duchess is already showing the motherly signs of a baby on board.
Throughout the night Markle was photographed cradling her bump—a new trait she's displayed a number of times since news broke of the couple's new family member. During Markle's first Australian tour with Harry in October, she was spotted cradling and touching her stomach on several occasions.
Upon arriving at the star-studded event, Markle received baby gifts from guests including a children's book titled, Peepo!, written by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. She was also gifted a teddy bear with a "gender-neutral" yellow ribbon. "I said congratulations and she thanked us," Jo Wiggins, whose young daughter Lucy Robertson gave presents to Markle, revealed to People magazine. "She's beautiful and has a lovely little bump."
Markle's pregnancy was announced back in October. The duchess's due date has yet to be revealed, however, Kensington Palace noted Harry and Markle's baby is expected to arrive sometime in the spring of 2019.
