‘There are days when it’s a lot to juggle,’ continued the Duchess, ‘but then you meet someone, have an impact on them and it’s so rewarding.’
Speaking about Meghan’s visit, CEO Lara said: ‘I think the Duchess really understood the pressures on working women which was so appreciated.
‘She is a working mother herself and mixing that in with all the travelling and projects she has, it’s inspiring for other women and young people to see that she is making such a success out of her life and helping others with her charitably endeavours.’
