After appearing on Remembrance Day last month, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex went on a six-week break from royal duties. The family was said to fly from the United Kingdom to the United States for their hiatus, and spent Thanksgiving Day with the duchess' mother, Doria Ragland.
The couple's reported break caught a lot of criticisms from royal fans and the public. While many individuals did not like the idea of Meghan taking a break after just having her maternity leave earlier this year, several sources have been attesting that the duchess continues her work despite being far from the Buckingham Palace, where the Sussex couple's office is situated.
According to Daily Express, sources from various publications revealed that Meghan Markle spent her six-week "off" from royal duties by "ironically" doing her royal duties. Although many have questioned the transparency of these headlines, it was asserted that the duchess has remained focus on her "goals."
Based on claims, the Duchess of Sussex aims for her and her husband's "charity venture," Sussex Royal, The Foundation of The D&D of Sussex, to become one of the "biggest philanthropic organizations" in the world. With such a goal, it is no wonder why Meghan continues to do her work despite being on break, the source added.
It was also revealed that, while in the United States, Meghan Markle has been working closely with her friend and former "Hollywood publicist," Keleigh Thomas Morgan. She was her PR advisor from the firm giant, Sunshine Sachs, during her time in Suits.
While Keleigh Thomas Morgan is the head of one of the firm's divisions, it was cleared out that the duchess and the PR specialist are working privately, detached from the said firm.
The sources continued to explain that, although Thomas Morgan is helping Meghan Markle's strategies and plans for the next 18 months, the duchess is the one "running things." Her PR advisor is just "assisting" her behind.
The Sussex family's current stay in the United States is very timely for the duke and duchess' plans for their charity, a source added. As it happens, Meghan intends to set up links to her "celebrity friends and supporters" for their charity venture.
It was further revealed that Meghan Markle sees her "circles" in the Hollywood and American business as a "key" to fundraising. This is because the duchess "feels" that this will bring in tens of millions of dollars that will certainly benefit their foundation.
