Smart Works is like the British version of Dress For Success. They help women with clothes and job interviews. Meghan was announced as their patron today. In addition to her patronage of the National Theater and I believe two others. One is an animal welfare charity.

She wore a maternity dress and an Oscar De La Renta coat.

The Queen gave Meghan two of her patronages-The National Theatre and the Association of Commonwealth Universities. Mayhew is the animal welfare charity.

Dress is by Hatch. Victoria Beckham bag, Gianvito Rossi cow print pumps.

Meghan enjoyed styling the women.

It looks like she's doing what she really enjoys doing.

I've watched her in 2 of the movies she did (Hallmark) and she was a pretty good actress.

I wondered if she misses it but it looks like she is where she wants to be.

She does look like she is genuinely enjoying this and good for her!  She looks great and appears very poised!

I’m happy for her that she is getting to do something she enjoys that helps others too!

@on the bay . I used to watch her in the series "Suits" before she became Harry's girlfriend.  I thought she was very good too.

She enjoys doing good works and was a social activist even as a child.  Her mother is a social worker.  She does seem to enjoy doing what she does, giving back.  I get the impression that it's not an act with her.  She truly enjoys her royal duties and she can relate beause she didn't grow up rich and influential.  She is the average middle class American girl.

That is a wonderful charity.  How timeless and chic is that black-and-camel combination?  David Zyla would say that it's especially felicitous on Meghan b/c it roughly mimics her own personal coloring-- it therefore looks totally harmonious.  He's really big on everyone doing that.

Black and camel is a little too high-contrast for my coloring, but I LOVE the similarly sophisticated combo of grey and camel....
