According to Harper's Bazaar the trip is said to have been planned months ago.
A source told the website: "The trip is a lovely chance to catch up with friends and spend time in a city she loves.
"This will be the last time a lot of them will see Meg until after the baby is born so it’s nice to share precious moments."
One of the first things Meghan has done since landing in the Big Apple is visit bakery Ladurée with close friend Jessica Mulroney.
The source added: "Meg will be flying home refreshed and relaxed - and with a lot of new baby clothes."
This time of rest and relaxation comes at as tensions have been high for the Markle family.
Personal correspondence between Meghan and her estranged father Thomas Markle was leaked by him.
In the letter, which has since been published and publicly scrutinised, Meghan accused her dad of breaking her heart.
According to the Daily Telegraph, aides at Kensington Palace are considering whether to take a stand over the letter and are taking legal advice.
Meghan’s half-sister Samantha Markle has said that Thomas "is prepared to release more" of the letter.
Sections released from the five-page note saw Meghan, 37, telling her father he had broken her heart “into a million pieces”.
Meghan also challenged Thomas about telling lies about her and Prince Harry to the press.
Family members now reportedly say Meghan and Thomas' relationship is ruined, with no chance of repair.
