Although Meghan Markle has relocated to Los Angeles, it doesn’t mean the Duchess of Sussex is forgoing her work with charities for which she is a patron. Overnight, Smart Works shared a clip of Meghan surprising one of its clients with a video call ahead of a job interview.

Calling in from LA, and wearing a berry-hued sweater with two gold necklaces, Meghan told the client, “You seem incredibly confident and prepared. I know everyone here is so excited. When I was reading what your interests are, and especially you have a big focus in mental health as well, right? Psychology? I think that’s excellent.” Meghan went on to ask the client about why she was excited for the potential internship, calling her a “beacon of hope” during these uncertain times.

“I just wanted to be able to call in and wish you the best of luck and my fingers are crossed for you,” the Duchess offered.

After the client praised the work Markle has done with the charity, she replied, “It’s a pleasure to support [Smart Works], you see how great they do and how many people they help and that’s what it’s all about. I’ve been really proud to be able to be their patron, but it’s an easy yes when you have such incredible women helping you.”
