The royal tour may be coming to an end soon, but Meghan Markle isn't showing any signs of winding down.

This morning, the Duchess arrived for a roundtable discussion with the Association of Commonwealth Universities, ready to undertake another full day of engagements. For the professional occasion, Meghan chose to wear an affordable double-breasted trench dress from Banana Republic which she paired with beige Stuart Weitzman pumps and a bracelet by Alemdara.

Meghan serves as patron of the Association, and takes a particular interest in how it strives to support young women. In the press release announcing the full schedule of the royal tour, Meghan and Prince Harry's communications secretary noted that the Duchess was "particularly looking forward to the opportunity to learn from inspirational women in the region."

Through her work with the Association of Commonwealth Universities, the secretary explained that Meghan would "meet female entrepreneurs, academics, and community leaders, and join discussions with Southern African young women about the future of their countries."

That effort will continue through this afternoon. Following the roundtable talk, the Duchess is scheduled to visit a school, where she'll learn about a charity that works to prevent and raise awareness about sexual violence in education.

And then this evening, Prince Harry will rejoin Meghan and baby Archie, after spending several days visiting Angola, Malawi, and Botswana. Royal watchers won't get to see them again until tomorrow though, when they'll kick off the final day of their tour in a yet-to-be-announced township near Johannesburg, meeting with local youth and entrepreneurs.
