Prince Harry Takes Adorable Photo Of Meghan Cradling Baby Bump Amid Criticism

Prince Harry just took an adorable photo of Meghan Markle cradling her growing baby bump while they were in New Zealand.

On Thursday, Kensington Palace released a sweet photo of the royal couple walking hand in hand during their Redwood Treewalk in Rotorua. The caption of the snap was written by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

“Thank you, New Zealand, for the most wonderful last week of our tour. It has been a privilege to meet so many friendly Kiwis. Australia, Fiji, Tonga, and NZ – we leave feeling inspired and reminded of how every single one of us can make a difference. The rain that refreshes the parched ground, is made up of single drops. – Kate Sheppard,” it read (via E! News).

The couple’s newest photo was uploaded after the “Suits” alum was criticized by royal fans for always touching her baby bump in public. One of them said that she’s overseeing Markle touching her baby bump. After all, everyone already knows that she’s pregnant.

“I’m a Meghan Markle fan but seeing a lot of photos of her holding/touching/cradling her baby bump is just too much,” another person tweeted.

“When I’ve only seen a couple of photos of Kate Middleton holding her baby bump in all of her three pregnancies. We get the idea. You’re pregnant,” one royal fan commented.

“Sick of the sight of Meghan Sparkle touching the non-existent baby bump in every picture. #embarrassing #attentionseeking #fake,” another person posted (via Daily Star).

Kensington Palace announced Markle’s pregnancy on Oct. 15, hours after they arrived in Australia to kick off their first overseas tour. A spokesperson for the palace said that Markle and Prince Harry will welcome their first child sometime in the spring of 2019.

As of late, it is still unsure if Markle and Prince Harry will welcome a baby girl or baby boy, but the Duke of Sussex said that he wants to have a baby girl. His revelation came during his recent walkabout when one royal fan exclaimed that she hopes the royal couple will have a baby girl.

“So do I,” he answered (via Express).
