The Duchess of Sussex has launched a clothing range intended to help unemployed women find a job.

Meghan has been working with charity Smart Works, which provides interview clothes and training to women who are out of work.

For every item bought in several high street stores or online, another will be donated to the charity. Meghan became its royal patron in January.

The collection's unveiling this afternoon was the Duchess's first official engagement since the birth of son Archie in May.

Items donated to Smart Works will help give women the "confidence and support (they need) to enter the workforce and take an important step in building a career", Meghan said.

She also thanked the four brands involved for "placing purpose over profit and community over competition" while taking part in "this special project".
