But, by the afternoon, Meghan was back in a black turtleneck, black jeans, a pair of black suede slingbacks that she loves -- Aquazurra's Deneuve bow pumps -- then added striped shoulder bag by Oroton and, what caught our eye, this white linen pinstripe blazer.

Royal watchers were split following the announcement, with some suggesting she was looking for 'sympathy' while others defended the 37-year-old former actor. Some angry Twitter users hit out and said 'pregnancy isn't an illness' and she shouldn't take time off because of it

Royal watchers were split following the announcement, with some suggesting she was looking for 'sympathy' while others defended the 37-year-old former actor.

Some angry Twitter users hit out and said 'pregnancy isn't an illness' and she shouldn't take time off because of it.

'Millions of women around the world work through pregnancy with illness because they don't have a choice. It's not news,' one wrote.

Another added: 'she's only pregnant not ill'

While a third wrote: 'I doubt shaking a few hands and lording around Oz is gonna have a detrimental on the pregnancy. Try working in a real public sector business 6 weeks before you give birth. Give us a break from this s*** please.'

But there were many more quick to leap to the Duchess's defence, with one praising her sensible.

'Of course pregnancy shouldn't be treated as an illness, but my god growing a human can be absolutely exhausting (I was regularly asleep by 8pm in my pregs)

'It's a tiredness deep into your bones. Babies take what they need first, leaving Mum to cope with the scraps that are left.'

Another said: 'it's wise, you could see the exhaustion on her face, although she tried her best to hide it. Nothing is more important right now than the precious little one.'

'it's the jet lag combined with the pregnancy that's difficult to deal with. she is absolutely right to rest' another said.
