Duchess Meghan Markle is welcoming a royal baby with Prince Harry, and the former actress-turned-royal celebrated in New York City.

But there’s a catch… she’s still royal after all.  According to Cosmopolitan, baby showers aren’t really a thing in England at all.

Showers apparently only just started to catch on. Even if they were popular in the U.K., royals would have nothing to do with it. Royal reporter Victoria Arbiter said that’s because there’s “added pressure that they are clearly very wealthy, and a lavish baby shower would be seen as highly inappropriate. There’s nothing they can’t go out and buy themselves.” 

As for Meghan, she is from America where baby showers are pretty common. And technically she isn’t throwing one for herself. Her friends are reportedly doing the honors — and they aren’t necessarily asking for the Queen’s permission!

Her shower was hosted by her best friend and stylist Jessica Mulroney at a hotel on the Upper East Side, and there were only 15 guests. It’s unclear who made the cut, but rumored attendees are Serena Williams, Priyanka Chopra, Lindsay Roth (a friend from college), designer Misha Nonoo, and Suits stars Sarah Rafferty and Abigail Spencer.
