Meghan Markle has broken her cover with a new appearance, as the Duchess of Sussex prepares for a potential UK return.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, visited the Children's Hospital Los Angeles on March 21, where she led a Literally Healing session.

A statement read: "Children were laughing and singing as The Duchess turned into character with every page as she read patient favourite books like Rosie the Riveter, Pete the Cat and I Saw a Cat."

Meghan also helped children with STEAM activities connected to each book.

In a video from the visit, Meghan greeted the children as they gathered for the reading session, excitedly showing the cover of Rosie Revere, Engineer.

The 42-year-old told the group: "This is one of my favourites."

Meghan has two children of her own, Prince Archie, four, and Princess Lilibet, two, whom she shares with Prince Harry.

The duchess used her acting abilities during the reading session, using different voices and gestures to complement the stories.

Children shouted out answers and sang along as Meghan read Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons.

The duchess said: "This was a great choice, friends," as she closed the book.

Meghan also posed with children for photographs, talking to a young girl about how "neat" an instant camera image was.

This appearance comes as the Duchess of Sussex is potentially preparing for a UK return next month.
