Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had a packed schedule today for their visit to in Birkenhead, England. They greeted a crowd of fans, had mint tea and lemon cake, and dropped by organizations like Tomorrow's Women (opens in new tab) and The Hive Wirral Youth Zone (opens in new tab). The Duchess of Sussex arrived in bright spirits and an even brighter ensemble consisting of a purple Aritzia dress (opens in new tab) and red Sentaler coat (opens in new tab). As she walked around town in her red pumps and met with locals, the conversations, of course, touched on her royal baby.
Meghan let it slip that she is currently six months pregnant (opens in new tab) and that her due date was sometime at the end of April/early Mary. However, there was one crucial piece of information she withheld.
According to Rebecca English, Meghan reportedly told a fan that she and Prince Harry didn't know whether the baby was a boy or girl. The reason? She wants it to be a complete "surprise."
