American mothers often celebrate their pregnancy by being showered with gifts at gatherings their closest friends and relatives.
However, baby showers are not in keeping with royal tradition.
Royals are already very wealthy and so holding a “lavish” bash would be highly inappropriate, according to royal expert Victoria Arbiter.
Meghan, who grew up in California, is therefore unlikely to hold a traditional American baby shower when she falls pregnant.
Baby showers are not usually held by expectant mothers in the UK.
But they are huge in the US, as an average American is said to spend between £150 to £750 per shower.
What other royal pregnancy rules will Meghan have to follow?
During their BBC interview when they got engaged last year, Prince Harry and Meghan revealed children were “in the near future”.
If Meghan does get pregnant, there are certain rules and traditions she would be expected to follow.
The genders of royal babies are not traditional found out until after the birth.
The world did not know any gender of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s three children until after they were born.
Prince William and Kate reportedly also did not know Prince Louis’ gender until after the birth.
Royal mums-to-be also used to give birth at home, but this tradition was changed by Princess Anne and Prince Diana, who gave birth in the private Lindo wing go St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, London.
Kate’s three children were also born there and she even had three midwives for the birth of middle child Princess Charlotte.
When royals welcome new additions to their families, the first person to be informed is the Queen.
Royal protocol means Her Majesty is the first to know, even before the grandparents.
Royal babies are also usually given three or four names.
Prince Harry has four names: Henry Charles Albert David.
