Meghan Markle praised for showing off 'real' postpartum body in belted white dress days after giving birth
Meghan Markle is a positively radiant new mom as she and Prince Harry debuted their two-day old son on Wednesday morning.
The Duchess and Duke of Sussex held a photo call for the press at St. George’s Hall at Windsor Castle to introduce their royal baby boy. And while Harry held on tight to the infant, whose name has yet to be announced, Meghan was glowing in a white double-breasted dress and a pair of nude pumps.
People on Twitter have already commented on her gorgeous look, not to mention the duchess’s ability to pull the beautiful ensemble together just days after the birth. They’re also praising her for the custom trench dress designed by London-based designer Grace Wales Bonner, which shows off her postpartum figure.

I don’t know what I admire more...Meghan Markle wearing heels or wearing white two days after giving birth 😂

Women in particular are loving the duchess’s effort to “normalize” what a woman’s body looks like after giving birth.
I know nothing about being pregnant but I enjoy the fact that Meghan Markle is showing off her post-baby bump so prominently with that belted dress.

Many still admit that they wouldn’t be able to throw on a pair of Manolo Blahnik heels so shortly after giving birth. Although it could be credited to the “magic” that Markle is experiencing after becoming a parent for the first time.
“It’s magic, it’s pretty amazing. I have the two best guys in the world,” Markle shared. “He's just been a dream, so it’s been a special couple of days.”
