Meghan Markle has been using some body language techniques and clever styling hacks to proudly show off her growing baby bump.

According to stylist Lucas Armitage, Markle has opted for designer clothes that hang snugly on her bump. While speaking with Daily Mail, the expert also said that the Duchess of Sussex may be struggling with finding coats she likes and that will work over a bump so she is wearing standard coats and leaving the buttons undone.

During her recent outing in Birkenhead, Markle was photographed in her red coat and tight purple dress. Armitage said that even though Markle’s coat was loose, she made sure that everyone’s attention will be on her bump that’s why she wore a fitted dress.

Meanwhile, body language expert Judi James said that Markle is proud and excited to be pregnant with her first child. During one of her recent outings, she was seen doing a coat flick gesture.

“Stepping out of and around her car it looked for one minute as though her open coat might mask the bump from the royal fans. But quickly and very deftly the left hand came up to flick the coat away to reveal all and she repeated this gesture more than once,” she said.

And in recent weeks, Markle’s way of cradling her bump has been a cause for discussion among royal fans. While speaking with Fabulous Online, James said that Markle has cradled her baby bump in three different ways, but each other suggests that she’s in full mother mode.

James said that the cradle act is a protective barrier gesture that will help Prince Harry’s wife to keep her bump safe when in front of the crowds and the cameras. The one-had pat, on the other hand, is Markle’s way of communicating with her baby no matter where she might be.

Lastly, the hug is the act of cradling her baby once it is born, and this suggests that she’s preparing for the time when she can finally carry her baby in her arms.
