An insider revealed to the UK’s The Sunday Telegraph: “The Duchess was working on the Vogue edit and the Smart Set collection and remained very engaged with the office, participating in weekly team meetings.
“We were saying to her, ‘Wow, this is not what a maternity break looks like, you need to slow down.”
The royal couple have clocked up thousands of frequent flyer points with numerous engagements and also welcomed the birth of their first child, Archie Harrison.
Even after welcoming Archie, the pair have continued their hectic schedule.
It comes after news the pair won’t be spending Christmas with the royal family this year.
The former Suits actress and her are breaking with tradition this year and won’t spend the festive period at Sandringham with the rest of the royals, including the Queen.
In a statement from the Palace on Wednesday, it was revealed that the couple, along with their six-month-old son, Archie, will instead spend Christmas with Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland.
“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are looking forward to extended family time towards the end of this month. Having spent the last two Christmases at Sandringham, [the couple] will spend the holiday this year, as a new family, with the duchess’ mother, Doria,” the statement reads.
“This decision is in line with precedent set previously by other members of the royal family, and has the support of Her Majesty The Queen.”
