Meghan first started working with the charity when she married Prince Harry in 2018 and it was the only one she continued supporting after she ceased being a working royal. She worked with major fashion labels including Jigsaw and John Lewis to create a smart-set capsule collection in 2019. Speaking at the time she said: “As women, it is 100 per cent our responsibility, I think, to support and uplift each other, to champion each other as we aim to succeed, to not set each other up for failure.” Meghan has not been seen in the UK since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral four years ago — and avoided the cameras after returning in July. While she is busy back- to-school shopping and hopes to keep a low-profile, Harry is set to mark his comeback with a string of engagements. He is expected to jump straight into charity engagements and appear at this month’s annual WellChild Awards. And there are reports he will carry out a skydive for military charities after making a promise to veteran Ed Marshall, 102, during a visit in Toronto, Canada, last November. Meghan remains in talks for a role in The Gentlemen which is set to begin filming for series three soon. Comment now
