This past May, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, their first child into the world. 

Markle might have been pregnant, but that did not hold her back from working on projects she cares about. Yesterday evening, the Sussex Royal Instagram account posted some photos of the Duchess being a busy bee, while she was still carrying little Archie. 

The 37-year-old is seen sporting maternity clothes as she works with Smart Works. Smart Works is a charity Markle has worked with since last year, which aims to help women enter the workforce by providing them with clothing and skills.

The photos were captioned: 

"Throughout her visits she noticed that while the donations were plentiful, they were also notably a combination of mismatched items and colors which weren’t always the right stylistic choices or sizes that didn’t necessarily “suit” the job at hand: to make a woman feel confident and inspired as she walked into her job interview."

The post went on to explain how the Duchess will be helping solve this problem: 

"As a result, launching this autumn, The Duchess will be supporting a collective to help equip the women of Smart Works with the key workwear essentials they need as they enter into the workplace. This initiative is supported by four generous brands who share the vision to empower the women of Smart Works to look and feel [100 emoji] as they bravely venture in to what can often be a daunting environment for those who have been out of the job market."

A number of brands will be joining forces with Markle, including Marks and Spencer, John Lewis, Jigsaw and close friend to the Duchess Misha Nonoo.
