Meghan, who's expecting her baby in the spring, chatted with some beneficiaries of the organization - including pregnet Angel Midgley, who is nearly five months along with her second child. The duchess presented her with a Moses basket filled with baby products. "I would say that I should lift it for you, but neither of us should be holding it!" Meghan joked. Brimming with lotions, diapers and wipes, Harry was heard quipping, "Is there a baby in there?" <p>Photo: &copy; Getty Images
The couple also visited Tomorrow's Women Wirral, which offers 6,000 disadvantaged women access to training and workshops. "Harry initiated a group hug – there were about 15 women – it was a scrum," said CEO Angela Murphy. "He said 'come on, group hug'. You don't expect that." He also declared himself a feminist! <p>Photo: &copy; Getty Images
