The Duchess of Sussex announced in early
January four patronages as she combines love of
women's empowerment, animals and fashion.
The one that especially captured my
fashion-world-background heart was
SMART WORKS is a charity that offers
interview clothing and coaching to unemployed
women with upcoming job interviews.
In five years the SMART WORKS team
saw 11,000 women and 60% of those women got jobs.
The duchess, Meghan Markle, was "on the job"
on January 10th at the west London headquarters
when she was announced patron of the charity.
However, Meghan visited the organization
several times over the last 12 months assisting
several women transform their lives.
Royal patronages bring invaluable publicity
and fundraising opportunities to charities
and community organizations in Great Britain.
