“I recently read that the culture of fashion has changed from where it was once ‘cool to be cruel’ to now where it is ‘cool to be kind’. I feel especially proud to announce tonight’s winner, who is a British designer leading on the global stage with vision and creativity, but also with incredible kindness.” – The Duchess of Sussex presents @clarewaightkeller with her award for British Designer of the Year - Womenswear at the @britishfashioncouncil Fashion Awards. The award recognised Clare Waight Keller’s formidable contribution as a British fashion designer to the industry this year and was decided by a panel of over 2,000 international industry experts.

She has officially popped!

Meghan Markle made a surprise appearance at the British Fashion Awards to present artistic director of Givenchy Claire Waight Keller with Womenswear Designer of the Year, and the royal stole the show with her growing baby bump!

The Duchess of Sussex protectively cradled her belly on stage as she spoke to the crowd, and clearly loved being back in the Hollywood spotlight for a night.

"It is such an honor to be here celebrating British fashion and British fashion designers in my new home of the U.K.," she said in her speech.

Prince Harry's lady love seems determined to do things her way, and that apparently includes breaking royal protocol on a regular basis! The Queen reportedly requests that Meghan and Kate only wear delicate soft pink nail polish, but the former actress opted for an edgy black manicure for the event.

The American beauty is allegedly due around May, but judging by the size of her bump, we now think there might be some truth to the rumors that she's expecting twins.

"Meghan’s hinted numerous times that ‘double trouble’ lies ahead. She’s seeing a top London consultant who specializes in multiple births and has been spotted affectionally putting her hand on her stomach and saying she can’t wait to meet ‘them,'" a source dished to Life & Style.

We can't wait for the royal baby's big arrival.. or should we say arrivals?
