The Duchess of Sussex's Charities and Patronages

[HereditaryPrincess]

I think Meghan is trying to do as much as she possibly can before she goes on maternity leave but even with royal ladies and maternity leaves, that doesn't mean they're not working behind the scenes to prepare when maternity leave is over. We just don't hear about it.

I agree Osipi. I think Meghan is trying to fit in all her engagements until she goes on leave - particularly now that she has had her patronages announced and confirmed.

Do you think we’ll get an announce of additional patronages before the birth?

A number of off-topic comments about typos have been deleted. Let's remember to be respectful of one another. Let's also move on from the discussion about how much work royals do and whether Meghan is having a busy week.

Does anyone know what time the kickoff for the visit to the @National Theatre will be?

I think there may be 1-2 more, but my guess is that they may wait till after the maternity leave to announce more.

Does anyone know what time the kickoff for the visit to the @National Theatre will be?

Probably the afternoon London time. Rebecca tweeted that she’ll be at both, so I’m assuming there is enough time in between for the RRs to go to both.

Thanks for all the photos. Meghan looks lovely. It's great to see both she and Harry out and about today doing what they do best, interacting well with those they meet. This engagement would be right up Meghan's alley I would imagine. She certainly looks delighted to be there.

 

[Lumutqueen]

Just to mention Meghan arrived at National Theatre just after 1pm, and left at 1:45pm.

Is this too short? Too long? Just right? (Do you feel like Goldilocks with my questions )

Cute tidbit: Meghan mentioned during her visit that, before Christmas, she'd "snuck in" to the National Theatre to see the children perform.

IMO this is her best maternity outfit this far.

That is sweet that she went to see their show late last year. Not surprised though. Seems she has been pretty involved with all her patronages before it became official.

 

[jacqui24]

A VERY cute moment during today's visit.

BTW, I noticed there were a lot of kids and young adults there today for activities during the visit. I think this is probably part of the effort to modernize the image people have of the National Theatre.

HRH The Duchess of Sussex visit to the National Theatre earlier today.

 

[HereditaryPrincess]

Meghan volunteered at a theatre workshop for school children when she lived in the US so I'm sure this experience brought back memories for her! It was great to see her today.

Meghan is currently overstaying at ACU, she was due to leave at 2:45pm, making it a "standard" 45 minute visit.

Well, the students were certainly excited to see her lol!

All the videos and pictures are very amusing with their reactions. And she stayed 15 minutes longer. Glad she did a small walkabout.

So glad that Meghan got a great reception at her engagement. That must have heartened her, and the walkabout was great. She really seems to have enjoyed this visit. And I like the topknot!

 

[jacqui24]

Is there a reason why we are keeping track of Meghan's visits down to the minute? Is this done for other royals?

Well, I'll bite! this happened when Catherine first started completing engagements, it quietened down after a while ?

I find her charismatic, warm, sort of cuddly, intelligent, well spoken, self-assured and every time a look at her I have to smile ? I can't help myself I just smile
