She might be only weeks away from giving birth, but it has by no means prevented pregnant Duchess Meghan from bringing her fashion A-game.

In anticipation for the arrival of Baby Sussex, we’ve compiled some of our favourite looks Meghan has worn during her pregnancy to date, from some of her latest looks going all the way back to where it all began, when the pregnancy was first announced during her and Prince Harry’s royal tour in Australasia.
