THE Duchess of Sussex will be “rekindling” her work with UK charities as she starts life back in Britain.
Meghan, 45, is expected to be photographed and publicised working with the charities but will keep a low-profile to begin with, reports The Sunday Times.
This comes as the couple iron out a new “fair” structure for coverage of their engagements and public work after they withdrew from the Royal rota system in 2020.
Friends of the couple said they “trying to avoid being spotted” while they focus on settling their two children, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, before school starts.
The family are said to be keeping a low profile and asked for their children’s privacy to be respected.
A source said: “They are still unpacking at home and getting over the jet lag.”

This includes Smart Works, a charity which supports unemployed and vulnerable women looking for jobs.
The women are given clothes, interview training and networking opportunities.
Meghan first started working with the charity when she married Prince Harry in 2018 and it was the only one she continued supporting after she ceased being a working royal.
She worked with major fashion labels including Jigsaw and John Lewis to create a smart-set capsule collection in 2019.
Speaking at the time she said: “As women, it is 100 per cent our responsibility, I think, to support and uplift each other, to champion each other as we aim to succeed, to not set each other up for failure.”
Meghan has not been seen in the UK since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral four years ago — and avoided the cameras after returning in July.
While she is busy back- to-school shopping and hopes to keep a low-profile, Harry is set to mark his comeback with a string of engagements.
He is expected to jump straight into charity engagements and appear at this month’s annual WellChild Awards.
