[Meghan Markle](http://time.com/person-of-the-year-2018-meghan-markle-runner-up/) and Prince Harry went back to work on Monday with their first joint royal engagement of 2019\. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex traveled to Birkenhead, a town near Liverpool in England. [According to _Hello_](https://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/gallery/2019011466577/prince-harry-meghan-markle-birkenhead-live-updates/1/), the trip was so the charity-minded couple could visit a local school, as well as a few organizations that support the community, including Birkenhead’s Number 7, a community cafe and grocery store that sells discounted foods to those in need, the youth community gathering space, Hive Wirral Youth Zone, which is [close to Harry’s heart](https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a13992948/prince-harry-meghan-markle-first-royal-engagement/), and the women’s empowerment group, Tomorrow’s Women Wirral, where Markle gave [a heartfelt speech.](https://twitter.com/itvnews/status/1084852962424483840)

[Markle](http://time.com/5499076/meghan-markle-queen-patronages/), who [told one young fan](http://time.com/5502228/meghan-markle-baby-due-date/) that she was six months pregnant, held her growing baby bump as she talked with the crowd at the town’s Hamilton Square, where the couple took a few minutes to greet the crowd, including some of the local children. The Duke and Duchess spent time doling out hugs and handshakes to the small, well-behaved crowd. While the British are typically a reserved bunch, one young girl couldn’t hold in her emotion at meeting the pregnant duchess. In a photo shared on Instagram, the girl is completely agog over her royal encounter. It may be the most relatable photo of the royal family ever.
