Meghan Markle keeps wearing these during her pregnancy and it’s dividing people
Meghan Markle is not one to follow the style rule book, and we love her for it. She's been effortlessly stylish throughout her pregnancy, proving she needn't give up her signature polished look just because her body is changing.
Case in point: Meghan's shoes. The Duchess of Sussex is hardly ever spotted in flats, preferring to attend official events in heeled pumps, such as her preferred Aquazzura heels. But that little fact seems to be dividing people.
Some critics have argued that because she is at least eight months pregnant, she should be wearing flats, whilst some experts warned her it could cause unnecessary pressure on her stomach and therefore her baby.
However, others have been quick to jump to her defence, saying she can wear what she likes as long as she feels comfortable, and we tend to agree.
No matter what she, or Kate Middleton for that matter, wears, it's never going to please everyone, so you're damned if you do and damed if you don't.
How about we just let people wear whatever they feel like wearing? There's a novel idea.
