The Duchess of Sussex reportedly started her maternity leave last week, a month before she is due to give birth towards the end of April.
And Meghan, 37, is said to already be planning her return from maternity leave just six months after welcoming her first child with Prince Harry, 34 – who is said to be offering his full support.
The hardworking mother-to-be, who is passionate about charity work and was confirmed as the patron of four organisations earlier this year, is said to be attending the annual summit for One Young World in London in October.
The organisation worked with Meghan before she married into the royal family in 2014, and announced last week that the Queen’s Commonwealth – of which Meghan is a Patron- would be partnering with them for the event later this year.

Speaking to Vanity Fair, a source said: ‘Harry is keen to support Meghan in developing her own role and the opportunity to partner with a cause so close to her heart is an ideal stepping stone.
‘All being well with the baby, the timing is perfect for her to expand her Commonwealth work through this new One Young World partnership with the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust.
