And the royal looked effortlessly chic herself, in a black midi dress by Hatch and a camel Oscar de la Renta coat.

Hatch is a US maternity brand founded by Ariane Goldman.

She paired the £170 midi with a camel-coloured cotton twill coat by Oscar de la Renta - worth £2,492 - and accessorised with earrings by Kimai.

The royal wore her hair in a smart bun and opted for a pair of low-heeled cow-print stilettos by Gianvito Rossi.

Founded in 2013, Smart Works helps unemployed and vulnerable women regain the skills and confidence for job interviews and returning to employment.

This includes providing clothes for job interviews, offering one-to-one interview training and providing the opportunity to join the Smart Works network, where women can meet every month to discuss their progress.

The royal has visited the organisation a number of times over the last 12 months, helping several women transform their lives and today, Meghan was announced as patron of the charity.

Thanks to the incredible work of the organisation, two thirds of women involved go on to get a job.
