Meghan Markle thrilled crowds in an English village today when she cradled her baby bump as she joined husband Prince Harry on their first official outing for the year.
The Duke and Duchess are in Birkenhead for a series of engagements and were met by large number of wellwishers who clapped and cheered when they got a glimpse of the pair.
The royal couple have only been seen a handful of times together in public since their triumphant tour of Australia and New Zealand, and since a wave of negative publicity began about Meghan.
Heavily-pregnant Meghan held her hands on her bump as she got out of the car. The 37-year-old wore a purple Babaton dress by Aritizia, and a Sentaler coat.
They will also visit a number of community organisations including Tomorrow’s Women Wirral, an organisation that supports women in vulnerable circumstances.
Meghan has been a vocal supporter of women’s rights for several years, from the time she first shot to stardom as an actress on Suits.
Prince Harry, 34, put his arm around his wife as they were introduced to the welcoming party.
They were last seen in public on Christmas Day at Sandringham with other members of the royal family, including Prince William and Kate Middleton, who they are said to be feuding with.
During their visit to Birkenhead the Duke and Duchess visited Hamilton Square where they inspected a new statue that marks the 100th anniversary of English poet and soldier Wilfred Owen’s death.
After unveiling a plaque, they met local veterans and members of the Birkenhead Institute Old Boys, which Owen belonged to, and then met the huge crowds gathered to see them in Hamilton Square.

Last week it was announced Meghan would become patron of Smart Works, which helps long-term unemployed and vulnerable women get back into employment, helping with interview coaching and mentoring, and providing work-ready clothing for them.
Animal lover Meghan will also become patron of Mayhew, a historic charity which teaches animal welfare and responsible pet ownership for young people, works to keep homeless people and their dogs together, and runs a pet refuge to care for pets when their owners are in crisis.
She also inherited patronages of the National Theatre and the Association of Commonwealth Universities from the Queen.
“The Duchess is delighted to become Patron of both national and grassroots organisations that are part of the fabric of the UK, and is very much looking forward to working with them to bring wider public attention to their causes,’’ Kensington Palace said in a statement.
“Her Royal Highness feels she can use her position to focus attention on, and make a particular difference to these organisations and, more widely, the sectors they each represent.
