Meghan Markle ‘will be conducting private and patronage-related meetings’ when she returns to the UK next month, a source has told BAZAAR.com.
The Duchess of Sussex, 38, will join her husband Prince Harry, 35, in Britain, next month for three public events before the pair officially step down from royal duties.
A loose itinerary was revealed for the trip last week, but it has been suggested that former actress Meghan could fill her remaining time with ‘secret’ engagements.
She has regularly made private visits to her patronages in the past and often shares photographs from the trips to her Instagram page at a later date.

It comes as the Telegraph reported that the duchess is ‘expected to run her own series of private engagements’.
Some fans hoped she’d make an appearance at the first British Vogue Forces For Change event with Salma Hayek on March 7, inspired by the issue of the the magazine she guest edited last year.
However, sources told the Telegraph that she won’t attend, noting that she’s scheduled to attend the Mountbatten Festival alongside her husband that day.
