Meghan, who is due with her first child this spring, wore a gold and silver brocade dress accessorized with a chic white coat.

She also spoke about the baby, admitting, she looks "a bit different than when I saw you last."

When a well wisher asked how she was doing, adding that he is sure everyone is asking her, Meghan gushed, "It's actually very sweet."

"What a very nurturing thing to ask," she added. "We're nearly there!"
