Congratulations to @smartworkscharity who just yesterday, dressed their 200th client with items from #TheSmartSet! In September, this two week campaign launched and because of YOU and your commitment to giving back to the community, over 10,000+ items were purchased. Using the 1:1 model, your contribution made a direct impact for Smart Works and the women mobilising back into the workforce. For every item you purchased, one was donated! You made this happen, and we are so thrilled to see you step up and be part of another woman’s success story. Your active generosity will give the women of Smart Works the tools and confidence boost they so deserve, accompanied by the valuable interview prep, guidance and mentorship Smart Works provides. Thank you for your support, and well done for being a part of this success story! The SmartSet capsule collection of workwear essentials was convened by HRH The Duchess of Sussex with leading UK clothing brands John Lewis, Misha Nonoo, Marks & Spencer, and Jigsaw. Thanks to all who played a part in this special project! Above, a photo from The Duchess and Smart Works clients as they shot the campaign, and a photo of Smart Works women who have now been styled in the pieces as they prep for their job interviews!

Meghan Markle has several secret meetings lined up in the U.K.
The Duchess of Sussex is already trying to determine what her post-royal life is going to look like. Since she’s only been a senior member of the royal family for just over two years, the duchess has some idea of what her new post-Megxit life will look like, and she’s already begun preparing.
In addition to attending several high profile events during her last weeks as a working royal — the Duchess of Sussex also as other things up her sleeve. An insider told BAZAAR.com , “Meghan will be conducting something private and patronage-related meetings during her time in London.”
The Duchess of Sussex wants to return to her acting roots
Before getting engaged to Prince Harry in November 2017 — the duchess has a starring role on the hit USA drama series, Suits . Now, post-Megxit it appears that she is looking to return to her roots.
“Meghan is actively looking for representation. She has begun outreach,” a source tells Us Weekly . “It can be a manager or an agent, but she’s reaching out to people to find someone to represent her for future professional projects. “[Meghan] has no plans to do another show like Suits , but Harry’s been encouraging her to do more voice-over work, writing, producing and directing in her free time.”
The duchess has already lined up a voiceover gig with Disney, and there are rumors that she would even cossinder an ensemble role in a massive Marvel film, but we’re just going to have to wait and see.
Meghan Markle is attending the Met Gala this year
Now that she is free to live life on her own terms — the duchess is excited about the massive high-profile post-royal events. Meghan Markle will attend the 2020 Met Gala on May 4th in New York City as the guest of British Vogue editor Edward Enninful.
The duchess worked closely with Enniful to guest-edit her “Forces for Change” issue. “The Met Gala is for the Who’s Who of show business ,” an insider told The Sun . “Naturally Meghan was one of the first names on the guest list, and Edward’s team are excited that the two will go together.”
We’re just so excited for this new chapter of the Sussexes’ journey. Though it’s not what any of us expected, they are clearly doing what’s best for them.
