Kate Middleton was noticeably absent from Meghan Markle‘s baby shower in New York City, but she had a good reason. According to Us Weekly, the Duchess of Cambridge is actually throwing her sister-in-law a second shower on her side of the pond.

“There is still going to be some sort of private baby-centric event for Meghan’s U.K. people, and Kate will host,” a royal insider tells the magazine. “Her glam people and other relatives will be there. Not sure if it’s a total baby ‘shower,’ but you could probably call it that.”

A more proper word for this get-together would probably be a “celebration.” Royal mothers-to-be historically haven’t had baby showers—Markle, more or less, broke with royal tradition by having one in Manhattan. Victoria Arbiter, a royals expert, told ABC News in 2013 showers are seen as “highly inappropriate” because the royal family is “clearly very wealthy”: “There’s nothing they can’t go out and buy themselves.”

Markle’s baby shower in New York was super secretive, but one of the guests, Gayle King, spilled a little bit of tea on CBS This Morning. “A good time was had by all,” she said. “[Meghan] is a very private person.”I think she should decide what she wants to say about [the shower].”

The only specific detail she gave was guests at Markle’s shower participated in a flower-arranging activity that actually helped a charity. “We all each made an individual base, and then Meghan, at the request, got in touch with an organization I’ve never heard of, Repeat Roses, and all of those [bases] were donated to different charities,” she said. “I thought that was a very sweet thing. It just speaks to who she is: She’s very kind. She’s very generous and a really, really sweet person. I think her friends just wanted to celebrate her.”

If Kate Middleton is throwing Meghan Markle a second shower, hopefully that ends those pesky feud rumors once and for all.
