Nobody can say she isn't a hard worker!
Meghan Markle made an appearance at women's charity SmartWorks today, just as Kensington Palace announced her new royal patronages, and she looked absolutely stunning in a black Hatch maternity dress, camel Oscar de la Renta coat, and Giovanni Rossi pumps.
The Duchess of Sussex will now be the patron of the National Theatre and Association of Commonwealth Universities, as well as Mayhew, an animal charity.
"The Duchess of Sussex will become Patron of four organisations that reflect the causes and issues with which she has long been associated including the arts, access to education, support for women and animal welfare. Her Majesty The Queen has passed on two patronages to The Duchess of Sussex –The National Theatre and The Association of Commonwealth Universities. The Queen has held the roles for 45 and 33 years respectively. Her Royal Highness will also take on Patronage of two additional charities as part of her official working portfolio – Smart Works and Mayhew," the Palace announced on social media.
In other news, Prince Harry is reportedly distraught over his inability to protect his wife from negative headlines and public scrutiny.
"Meghan made a huge sacrifice by moving across the pond, away from her mom and friends. Marrying into the royal family isn’t anywhere near as glamorous as it seems, so in a lot of ways Harry feels responsible for Meghan being so miserable," a source dished to Us Weekly.
"[Harry] takes any attack on Meghan very personally. He’s wanted to publicly make a statement many times defending Meghan and addressing the false rumors, but was advised not to," the source added.
In our opinion, she's handling all of this like such a pro!
