Having spent the last six weeks settling into life in the UK, Meghan Markle is starting to step back into the spotlight.
Earlier this week, Prince Harry's wife made her first public appearance in London since the couple's return, when she was spotted with Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai at Claridge's hotel.
And on Sunday, a new collaboration between Meghan and Moms Offering More, or MOM, was revealed.
Meghan has teamed up with the initiative to release a special-edition jumper embroidered with the words 'It's the Little Things'.
"Our special-edition MOM x Meghan, Duchess of Sussex “It’s the Little Things” sweatshirt is made to feel good in every way. Cozy cream with chocolate brown embroidery, 100% of your purchase goes back to supporting moms and families - 50% to MOM and 50% to Alliance of Moms," the website reads.
"Because sometimes, it really is the little things that make the biggest difference."
Fans can pick up the sweatshirt for $100.00 and it is available in four sizes - small, medium, large, and extra large.
Moms Offering More is a community-driven initiative that focuses on single mothers, food security, childcare, financial assistance and families facing multiple barriers across the United States and Canada. It also receives support from the Oprah Winfrey Charitable Foundation.

The couple were spotted enjoying a pub date on October 2 at The Falkland Arms in the Cotswolds. Meghan also spent time with her friend Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, on September 21 at The Three Horseshoes pub in Oxfordshire.
Sussexes 'confident' about their security in the UK
"None of this is low-key. And this is why I think this whole move is quite extraordinary," HELLO!'s Royal Editor Emily Nash remarked on HELLO!'s A Right Royal podcast. "Lest we forget, back in June, when Harry came back to the UK, he said it wasn't safe for him to bring his wife and children to the capital. So they did come to the UK and they stayed outside of London. What has changed to make Meghan come back?"

It may not be her responsibility at all that that has happened, but what's changed? They must be confident that they are either having or about to have some better security, perhaps? Intriguingly, it seems to deviate from what we were told just a couple of months back."
Prince Harry's private plea
Prince Harry and Meghan lost their taxpayer-funded security when they stepped back from royal duties in 2020.
Over the summer, according to The Telegraph, Harry made a private plea to Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, for answers on his security following a risk assessment that was conducted at the end of July. Meghan and their kids, Archie and Lilibet, didn't end up joining Harry in London during his visit that month.

"I love my country, I always have done, despite what some people in that country have done," Harry added. "I miss the UK. I miss parts of the UK. Of course I do. And I think that it's really quite sad that I won't be able to show, you know, my children my homeland."
Harry and Meghan's Christmas plans: 'They know it would be awkward'
It looks like the Sussexes might be returning to California in December to spend the holidays with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland.
A new report has revealed that the pair are already looking ahead to Christmas, and have acknowledged privately that they will not be invited to spend the day with the royal family, knowing that it "would be awkward".

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will, instead, "do whatever Doria wants to do" for both Thanksgiving, at the end of November, and Christmas.
The reports come days after HELLO!'s royal editor Emily Nash also suggested that the Sussexes upcoming holiday season plans would include Doria.
"I would be very surprised if the Sussexes are around at Christmas. I think they'll head to see Doria. I think that was always the plan," she said on this week's episode of the Right Royal Podcast.
Emily's comments come after HELLO! exclusively revealed that, despite reports that Harry and Meghan had largely returned to the UK to spend more time with King Charles, six weeks after touching down in the country on August 26, the former royals had still not yet seen Harry's father in person.
Harry and Charles had a telephone conversation during his first week back in the UK. But they have not yet reunited.
