One woman, however, phrased her approval of the bump in a bit of a strange way when she met Markle on a royal outing.

During a visit to animal welfare charity Mayhew in north west London on Wednesday, Markle was introduced to a group of women, including a care home resident named Peggy McEachrom.

After shaking Markle's hand, McEachrom told her "God bless you," before adding "you're a fat lady."

The Duchess of Sussex and the rest of the room burst into laughter, before she replied: "I'll take it!"

A few royal correspondents caught the moment on camera, and posted the exchange to Twitter.

However, ITV News Royal Editor Chris Ship shared a comment from a Twitter user who told him that calling someone a "fat lady" is a compliment amongst African and Caribbean people.

Another Twitter user added: "HRH MM demonstrated cultural sensitivity. In Africa, calling a pregnant woman fat is a BIG BIG complement."

The Duchess is now a patron of Mayhew, and during her visit was told about how the charity helps its patrons through pet therapy.
