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.
