Meghan Markle just did the sweetest thing with all the flowers from her baby shower

A kind gesture.

Now, that’s thoughtful.

On Wednesday, Meghan Markle had her baby shower alongside some of her nearest and dearest in New York City.

The party which took place in the Mark Hotel in the suave Upper East Side of the city, saw the Duchess of Sussex take over the penthouse suite to host a party which included a suitcase as a gift for each attendee, a flower arranging workshop, a harpist, cute edible biscuits and a candy cotton machine.

The entire party was reportedly organised and paid for by tennis pro, Serena Williams, and also featured a lavish display of flowers which Meghan then decided to donate to a New York charity.

Meghan donated all the flowers to Repeat Roses, an organisation which recycles flowers from events and sends them to hospitals and care centres.

“Repeat Roses was so honoured to help petal-it-forward with a baby shower experience for the Duchess of Sussex and her thoughtful friends by creating a ripple effect of kindness across the community,” Repeat Roses CEO Jennifer Grove told PEOPLE.

And one attendee at the party, CBS News morning show co-host Gayle King who was also at the party revealed that they all made a bouquet to donate at the party.

“It just speaks to who she is. She’s very kind, very generous,” she added.

So sweet.
