Meghan Markle‘s much-anticipated baby shower happened this past Wednesday, February 20. The star-studded event took place in New York City’s Upper East Side and reportedly featured jazz music, food by Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and flower-arranging activities.

One thing that didn’t happen at the shower, though, was present opening. Gayle King, one of the celebrities who attended the baby shower, revealed Friday (February 22) on CBS This Morning that Markle opted not to open up her gifts during the actual celebration. And her reason is very sweet.

“She didn’t open up any of the gifts because she wants to do that when she and Harry are back together,” King said. “So I really don’t know what everybody got [her].”

King said a “good time was had by all” at the baby shower, which was also attended by Amal Clooney, Serena Williams, and Markle’s Suits costar Abigail Spencer.

“She’s a very private person,” King also noted. “I think she should decide what she wants to say about [the shower].”

The only tidbit King reveals here is about the flower-arranging activity. “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. 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.”

King says Williams and Markle’s longtime friends, Genevive Hillis and Jessica Mulroney, hosted the shower: “It was a very small, private affair and just a very special time for her.”

Kensington Palace announced in October 2018 that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were expecting their first child. She’s due this spring.
