Meghan, 37, who is expecting her first child
with husband Prince Harry next Spring, joined in Christmas
celebrations at a nursing and care home for those who had worked
in the entertainment industry.
Asked by one of the residents how she was feeling, she replied
"very good", before rubbing her baby bump and saying "I’m very
pregnant today".
On Monday, her father Thomas Markle directly appealed on
television to Queen Elizabeth to intercede and end his
estrangement from his daughter whom he has not seen since her
wedding in May to Harry, Elizabeth's grandson.
"More Markle Mayhem", the Sun newspaper said about the TV
interview with Thomas Markle, who pulled out of the wedding just
days beforehand after undergoing heart surgery.
The publicity did not appear to have affected Meghan who seemed
cheerful as she met residents at Brinsworth House, owned by the
Royal Variety Charity which helps retired entertainers and has
the queen as a patron.
Meghan, who was an actress herself and attended the annual Royal
Variety performance last month with Harry, joined residents as
they made festive decorations and were entertained with
Christmas songs.
The visit is Meghan's last official engagement before she and
Harry, 34, join the other senior royals to spend Christmas with
the queen at her Sandringham country residence in eastern
England.
