Since finishing her 16-day royal tour through Australia, Fiji, Tonga, and New Zealand, the Duchess of Sussex has only been spotted in public a handful of times.

But now she's given us another glimpse of her growing baby bump as she visited one of her new patronages, Smart Works, yesterday.

The 37-year-old, who is expecting her first child with Prince Harry in April, looked positively radiant in a form-fitting chic black, crew-neck dress from Hatch, which showed off her growing baby bump.

With her hair swept into a low bun, she completed her look with a camel coat by Oscar de La Renta, cow-print heels by Gianvito Rossi and 'Felicity' earrings from ethical jewellery brand Kimai.

This morning, Meghan announced that she is to become the patron of four charities: the National Theatre, the Association of Commonwealth Universities, Mayhew, and Smart Works.

The former actress plans to visit each of the announced organisations before taking her maternity leave.

According to a recent story in Vanity Fair, "Meghan has told aides she wants to work as close to her due date next spring as possible."

Prince Harry and Meghan announced their engagement in November 2017, shortly after confirming their relationship.

The couple married at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, in May last year.
