Since the birth of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, Markle has been busy working behind the scenes with her patronage, "Smart Works."

"Smart Works" is a charity for unemployed women. It provides women with training and clothes for job interviews. Announcing the launch of a capsule collection that will benefit the charity, Markle writes:

"When you buy any item in the Smart Set Capsule Collection for Smart Works, the same item will be given to a Smart Works client, and with it, the confidence and support she needs to enter the workforce and take an important step in building a career."

"When we go into our closet as a woman and think 'I'm going to make a donation', you don't go through your closet and just toss in a box whatever you don't care about any more…That's charity as we know it."

Markel, explaining her vision for "Smart Works" donations hopes it will re-invent the traditional idea of charity and create a feeling of community, she explains:

"Community is going through your closet and saying, this is the blazer I wore when I nailed my first job interview and got my dream job, and I don't need that anymore because I'm where I want to be."

At the end of the event she tells audiences:
