The mum-to-be was typically elegant in a black coat and carried her favourite Matryoshka CH Carolina Herrera bag. Meghan kept her makeup to a minimum, instead showing off her natural pregnancy glow. Wearing sunglasses, Prince Harry's wife walked briskly past the cameras and kept her head down as she exited the Upper East Side hotel.
