Meghan Markle has had a busy week launching her first solo royal project – a new charity cookbook to raise cash for the people affected by the Grenfell Tower tragedy .
And she’s got another big first this week – her first official solo engagement.
Meghan has fulfilled royal duties without Prince Harry once before, when she visited Chester with the Queen, but this will be the first time she’s done something on her own.
And there’s a chance she might have a friendly face in the crowd as her mum Doria Ragland was spotted at Los Angeles International Airport preparing to board a flight.
Doria was standing in the check-in area for an Air NZ flight, and royal fans believe she was heading to London to see Meghan.
Her trip sparks further speculation she’s preparing to move to the UK to be closer to Meghan , after sources said she fell in love with England during the royal wedding.
Meghan will attend the opening of Oceania, a new exhibition at the Royal Academy next week.
It features different exhibits from a number of different regions, including New Zealand, Fiji, Australia and the Kingdom of Tonga, which Meghan will visit on her first overseas tour next month.
Kensington Palace announced the visit on Twitter earlier this week, writing: "The Duchess of Sussex will attend the opening of ‘Oceania’ at @royalacademy on Tuesday 25th September.
"The Duchess will view exhibits from regions including New Zealand, Fiji, the Kingdom of Tonga and Australia, which she and The Duke of Sussex will visit in October. #RAOceania ."
The Royal Academy’s website states: "Oceania will bring together around 200 exceptional works from public and private collections worldwide, and will span over 500 years.
"From shell, greenstone and ceramic ornaments, to huge canoes and stunning god images, we explore important themes of voyaging, place making and encounter.

"The exhibition draws from rich historic ethnographic collections dating from the 18th century to the present, and includes seminal works produced by contemporary artists exploring history, identity and climate change."
The exhibition will run from September 29 to December 10, and costs £20 including a donation.
