Duchess Meghan Markle stunned in a colorful maternity outfit Monday for her first official outing of 2019 with Prince Harry. Decked out in a cherry red overcoat and a purple midi dress with red heels, the duchess was the picture of style as she held her husband's hand for a visit to Hamilton square in the town of Birkenhead, Merseyside, England to meet with a number of local community organizations.

As Meghan shook hands with and greeted royal watchers waiting to catch a glimpse of the couple, she chatted with commoners about her due date and even answer ONE of the questions everyone's been asking -- when is she due?!

Meghan responded that she's six months along and is due in late April or early May. And the bigger question ... is it a boy or a girl?! To that she answered that they don't want to know so they're keeping the baby's gender a secret until the big day!
