Camilla's BookTrust reception

Camilla welcomed an incredible guest to Buckingham Palace on Tuesday as she posed with Peter Rabbit to mark the 100th anniversary of BookTrust. Speaking of her love of reading, the royal said: "Can I say happy 100th birthday to everybody involved in BookTrust. I wouldn’t be standing here now if I hadn’t been read to as a child. We were read to by my father every night and it just shows how important it is. It's lodged in my very small brain for evermore. But the job you are doing is ensuring that a great deal of children are going to have the same experience and enjoy reading all their lives. 

"Especially in this day of phones, a lot of children aren’t reading as much as they should be. The statistics show it is even more important now to start them at an early age and get them reading all the way through their lives."

Meghan shares With Love, Meghan update

Though there's no update yet on whether there will be a third season of With Love, Meghan on Netflix, Meghan gushed about the holiday special that's coming in December during her appearance at Fortune's summit. "It's a really good one," she said. 

Talking about the work that goes into producing a TV series, and the different formats she's exploring, she said: "It's a lot of work, and having done Suits for seven years, I remembered what goes into a production. I also recognize how much people want content in different sizes. So part of what we're testing out now is, it's amazing to be able to sit and watch a show for 30 minutes, but how can I give you a recipe in two minutes, and where can I share that with you, and how that continues to grow, as ever, so exploring all the options of what it could look like.

Meghan on her different jobs before making it big

At the Fortune summit, recalling her many "odd jobs" before her big acting break, Meghan said her very first was at a frozen yogurt shop. She further recalled: "When I used to do calligraphy, I used to do it for so many celebrity weddings and for hotels, and that was in between auditions, and I, at the time, I don't know why I didn't think to just buy a glove, but you don't want the natural oils from your hands to get on the beautiful paper, so I would just put a white tube sock on my hands. All these very fancy cards for people."
