The royal was in high spirits and arrived to cheers and applause from waiting crowds. She dressed her blossoming figure in a floral Brock Collection dress and styled her raven locks into her signature tight bun. Meghan, who is due in the spring, certainly sported that healthy, pregnancy glow. Let's take a look at the best photos of the Duchess' day out…
