Her visit comes as the world awaits the arrival of Baby Sussex who is expected to be born at any moment.

Gayle is a close friend of Meghan’s being one of the select few to be invited to her baby shower back in February, so it would be no surprise if she met the latest royal addition during her visit.

The host has previously spoken out about the shower that was held at the Mark Hotel in New York, revealing that the Duchess chose not to open her presents on the day.

Speaking on CBS This Morning she said: "[Meghan] didn't open any of the gifts because she wants to do that when she goes back to London, when she and Harry are back together.

"I don't know what everybody got. I think I got something I think is very nice. But you know, she's a very private person. I think she should decide what she wants to say about this."

Gayle also opened up about the shower itself which saw guests treated to a luxury array of cakes in pastel colours designed by illustrator Darcy Miller.

Discussing the shower Gayle added: “I've never seen anything like this at a baby shower.

"They did flower decorations. They had flower arranging, they brought in somebody to explain how to arrange flowers."

"We all each made an individual vase, then Meghan, at her request, got in touch with an organisation I've never heard of, called Repeat Roses, and they were all donated to different charities.

“I thought that was a very sweet thing. It just speaks to who she is. She's kind, she's very generous. And a really, really sweet person."
