Even as her friends celebrated the royal mom to be, they incorporated a give back element because that is who these kind and generous self-made millionaires are at heart. They share the same values as the Duchess of Sussex.

The friends of the Duchess Meghan know her so well so they made sure the baby shower celebration had a give back component .
Guests to the exclusive baby shower organized by three of the former Meghan Markle’s friends tennis legend & greatest of all time Serena Williams, businesswoman and college friend of more than 20 years Genevieve Hillis ;Canadian heiress and businesswoman Jessica Mulroney. These diligent women are successful in their own right . They wanted to give the Duchess of Sussex a very special baby shower for her first child. The baby shower that they gave her is fit for a Princess.
