She might be getting ready for the arrival of her first child [1], but Meghan Markle [2] has no plans to slow down the pace of her royal engagements. Following the Moroccan tour [3], she also attended a reception to honour Prince Charles [4], as well as making a surprise appearance at Prince Harry's WE event [5]. On Friday, the duchess joined a panel discussion at Kings College London convened by Queen's Commonwealth Trust [6] (which Meghan recently became Vice President [7] of) to celebrate International Women's Day and discuss the importance of it, spotlighting issues that still affect women across the world.

The event brought together a group of female activists and thought-leaders to discuss issues affecting women today. Meghan was in great company, as panelists included Annie Lennox, Founder of The Circle NGO, Adwoa Aboah, Founder of Gurls Talk, Julia Gillard, Chair of Global Institute for Women's Leadership, Chrisann Jarrett, Founder of Let Us Learn, and Angeline Murimirwa, Executive Director Campaign for Female Education.
