Meghan Markle is set to break with British tradition and attend a second baby shower.

The Duchess of Sussex is due to give birth to her first child with Prince Harry in late-April.

Baby showers aren't a common practice in the UK, and particularly for members of the royal family. Instead, gifts are typically given upon the birth of the baby.

However it has been reported that Meghan's mother Doria Ragland will be hosting a London baby shower for her daughter and sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, will attend.

Last month Meghan, 37, flew to New York for a baby shower on February 20 with A-list friends including Amal Clooney, Serena Williams, Gayle King and Abigail Spencer.

It is alleged she revealed the gender of the baby to be a boy at the event.

The Duchess of Cambridge was absent from the gathering, exacerbating rumours of a royal feud between the pair.

However with Middleton set to attend the second baby shower, and following a recent public appearance by the pair at the Commonwealth service in mid-March, those rumours have been put to rest.

Royal commentator and editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, Ingrid Seward, says Kate will play a large role in the second baby shower.

She previously told the Sun Online: "I should think she'd (Kate) be the first person on the list just to shut everyone up.

"Maybe Kate will be giving it to her. Somebody could easily be doing it for her.

"I would think it will be her English friends but she would like the other members of the royal family to come.

"It just depends what they are doing. Eugenie would be a likely one as they are so friendly."
