If you squint and suspend your disbelief, Meghan Markle?s baby shower seems almost kind of relatable.
Her guests partook in a flower arranging activity, for example?and these days, lots of moms-to-be have traded those embarrassing, poop-themed diaper games for intimate, Pinterest-worthy affairs with more elegant activities.
And Meghan was surrounded by her best friends, which is also typical. Didn’t you have your besties on hand for the festivities to shower you with gifts and indulge in a few too many sweets"
But if we’re being honest, that’s probably where the similarities end. From the location (a five-star hotel) to the guest list (tons of celebs) and the alleged $200,000 bill (footed by Serena Williams!), here are five ways Meghan Markle?s baby shower is in a league of its own: 1. The venue is the largest penthouse in the US
The Duchess of Sussex jetted to New York for the festivities, which took place at The Mark, a super-swank five-star hotel in the Upper East Side. And if that weren?t enough, the venue was the $98,000-per-night penthouse?a five-bedroom, six-bathroom space that?s been deemed the largest of its kind in the country and features sweeping views of Central Park. Yeah, that?s a little different from the party room in your aunt?s building.
