Meghan Markle announces return to work after maternity leave
New mum Meghan Markle is set to return to work, just four months after the birth of her first child.
The Duchess of Sussex will officially launch her new capsule collection for Smart Works next Thursday, September 12 — the day before London Fashion Week kicks off.
This will mark the end of the Royal's maternity leave following the birth of son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor on May 6.

Meghan, 38, first announced the news of the fashion range in the September issue of Vogue UK, which the Duchess guest edited.
The capsule collection will includes a shirt, trousers, blazer, dress and bag and will be sold through a partnership with UK fashion retailers Jigsaw, John Lewis & Partners, Marks & Spencer.
The pieces in Meghan's collection will sell on a "one-for-one" basis, meaning for each item purchased another is donated to the charity.

The Duchess collaborated on the range with designer bestie Misha Nonoo and appears to be quite hands-on with the project, even attending the shoot for the new range last month.
Fans got a sneak peek at the range on Sussex Royal's Instagram account, when they showed a make-up free Meghan on-set.

The Duchess became a Patron for the Smart Works charity in January and spoke of the importance of women supporting women.
"It's not just donating your clothes and seeing where they land," Meghan is heard saying in a video recording during the visit.
"It's really being part of each other's success stories as women."
