BABY BLUES BANNED!

-

Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, have not revealed whether they’re having a boy or a girl but, whatever the gender, they’re keen to raise their child as “gender-neutral”.

According to a source close to Meghan, this means they won’t be enforcing male or female stereotype­s on their baby, who is due next month.

Meghan has told her pals that she and Harry have been talking about how they want to raise the baby.

“She said they plan to raise their child with a fluid approach to gender and they won’t be imposing any stereotype­s,” says the insider.

This could mean anything from not choosing colours traditiona­lly associated with boys and girls, through to avoiding gender-based toys, such as dolls for girls and train sets for boys.

With weeks to go before the birth and after a three-day tour to Morocco last month, Meghan is winding down her public engagement­s.

Following a star-studded baby shower in New York, attended by famous friends including Serena Williams and Amal Clooney, it’s expected there will be a second shower for her British friends and in-laws, possibly near the country home she and Harry rent in the Cotswolds.

According to some reports, the event may even be hosted by Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and will be a lot less ostentatio­us than the US version, which is said to have cost a whopping $630,000, including private jet hire and luxury accommodat­ion.
