Meghan Markle Has Announced Her Return From Maternity Leave

Kimberly Truong

Meghan Markle has made a few public appearances here and there since giving birth to Archie in May, but she's technically been on maternity leave. But that ends next Thursday.

Andrews noted that while this is the duchess's official return to working in a royal capacity, she's never really stopped working— just look at her guest edit of British Vogue, done while she was pregnant with Archie and released after his birth. She's also made a few appearances during the summer, including Trooping the Colour. Her strong work ethic seems to have continued well into her maternity leave.

Her clothing line is a workwear collection in collaboration with Marks & Spencer, John Lewis, Jigsaw, and one of her close designer friends, Misha Nonoo. The sales will benefit Smart Works, which supports disadvantaged women entering or re-entering the workforce. For each piece of the collection that is sold, another will be donated charity.
