FEB 24, 2019 - Meghan Markle has reportedly not returned to the US since she and Prince Harry tied the knot last year, so what prompted the newest member of the British royal family to travel so far - during her third trimester, no less - for her baby shower this past week?The reason is rather simple, but likely surprising to most Americans unversed in British customs. Turns out, baby showers just aren't a tradition across the pond.Parties celebrating an impending baby don't exist in the United Kingdom, nor do any other type of "shower" celebration - like a bridal shower in advance of a wedding. This doesn't mean Brits don't give new moms gifts. They simply offer them up after the baby is born.
