The Item: Expectant mother and the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle in Zimmermann Dress for Fuji Royal Tour. Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, were photographed upon arrival in Suva, Fiji. This is the second stop of their royal tour.
You Asked: Hi I am a little confused about Meghan’s dress. I saw where someone had said that it is a Zimmermann dress, but the one they showed looked different from what she is wearing. Is it the same dress or are people just getting it wrong?
Ask and Tell: Meghan Markle in Zimmermann Dress for Fuji Royal Tour
The Verdict: Hello, and thank you for your message! Yes, you are correct, the Duchess is in fact wearing a gown by fashion label, Zimmermann. She is wearing the brand’s Blouson Sleeve Midi Dress. Online we spotted this white couture look ranging in price from $450 to $530.
The difference is however, is that Meghan’s finished look has been customized. The length and fit is altered. That is why it looks different than the original Zimmermann gown you are seeing from the Fall/Winter 2018 collection.
Furthermore, Meghan finished her ensemble with a few key accessories. She toted a Black Straw Clutch by Kaya Anna, fascinator hat by Stephen Jones, Tabitha Simmons ‘Millie’ Slingback Pumps; as well as diamond and pearl earrings which are reportedly a gift from the Queen. Lastly, she exquisitely wore her Tennis Bracelet, first seen on the eve of her Royal Wedding, which is now revealed as a gift being from Prince Charles.

Nevertheless, now the royal couple is announcing one more wonderful development… yes, the rumor mill is true, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Expecting Baby this coming spring!
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Expecting Baby! Due Spring 2019!
Well, just break out the champagne! Actually, oops…sorry, you can’t have any Meg. However, it is clear from her glow that Markle is still sharing in all of the baby bliss and joy.
For the past few weeks and recent royal engagements, speculation had began circling around the Duchess of Sussex. Her attire began to incorporate looser dresses and coats. An usual dead fashion giveaway that an oven may be in the baking stage.
Nevertheless, royal admirers did not have to wait long for confirmation. In an official statement Kensington Palace reveals:
“Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very pleased to announce that the Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in spring of 2019.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Expecting Baby! Due Spring 2019! (Continued)
Just for baby kicks and giggles, we thought it would be fashionably fun to highlight the looks that well… sort of gave Meghan away (LOL). As much as a celebrity may try to hide a cute little bump, the masses can ALWAYS read between the “she looks preg” lines.
Let’s start with a real fun one… the old just toss a folder over the bump trick. Subtle… kind of, sort of.
Here’s another favorite, the ruffle dress. We loved this color on her and how she tried to throw everyone off by drawing our eyes to the dresses design.
Meghan slayed this fall fashion trend (rich green) and even though she is SUPER tiny… may we direct your eyes to the adorable pooch.
Lastly, the recent sighting at Princess Eugenie’s royal wedding. The “if all else fails” just wear a coat all day” trick. Another beautiful ensemble, but we and the rest of the world were on to you Meg! XoXo.
Word on the royal street is that the Duke and Duchess just made their bundle of joy known this past weekend. The couple shared the baby news with family/friends in attendance for Princess Eugenie’s wedding. Too cute.
Well, now it looks like it’s just about the waiting game. Soon enough a new little royal baby family member shall be arriving. We’ll just be over here excitedly awaiting anxiously for the baby name suggestions to start rolling out! Until then, congratulations once more to Meghan and Harry.

The wedding dress and veil is made out of luxe silk. Also, the dramatic veil which stretched over a whooping 16 feet was embroidered with flowers. They represent 53 countries of the commonwealth.
Moreover, as in previous royal weddings no bridal gown would be complete without sparkling jewels. The bride wore understated yet glamorous jewelry (bracelet and earrings) by Cartier. Furthermore, Meghan incorporated more gems within a piece no princess can be without… a tiara.
Her tiara, on loan from the Queen, was at one time a possession of Queen Mary. Therefore, it can rightfully be known as the Queen Mary tiara. Although, the former Ms. Markle was able to view the entire collection of the Queen’s tiaras; Meghan chose the one that fit her personal flair and the Queen’s approval.
