Meghan Markle reveals awkward moment after charity donation

It was a big week for Megan Markle as her first patronages were announced by Kensington Palace.

But the Duchess of Sussex has revealed a slightly awkward moment she encountered when she visited one of the charities after the announcement.

Smart Works is a charity that helps long-term unemployed and vulnerable women regain the skills, confidence and tools to return to employment – and one of the ways they do this is by assisting women to find outfits for job interviews.

During her meeting with Smart Works in London, Meghan turned stylist for the day and revealed there was an awkward moment when one of her donations was rejected by a client.

Meghan said, with a laugh: “The last time I was here I suggested a purse to someone.

“It was one that I donated and she didn’t like and I was like ‘oh OK’. I thought it was great.”

The Duchess, who is expecting her and Prince Harry’s first child this spring, wore an Oscar de la Renta coat and a black dress by maternity label Hutch for her first engagement of the year.
