Meghan has announced a new initiative to help women back into work in a wacky film featuring Hollywood friend Melissa McCarthy and husband Harry who can be seen juggling in the background.
In a video shared on the Archewell website on Wednesday, the duchess was full of giggles as Bridesmaids actress McCarthy helped her launch her '40x40' campaign backed by several other famous contacts.
Meghan, seen for the first time since the birth of her daughter Lilibet two months ago, has called on people around the world to 'donate' 40 minutes of their time to support women going back into the workplace.
The slick film was filmed in the same immaculate Montecito study where Harry filmed his recent Apple TV mental health series with Oprah, and Meghan sits at grand oak desk with a number of pictures of her husband and two children, a pile of strategically placed copies of Meghan's children's book The Bench and a quintessentially British cup of tea and biscuits.
Her beagle Bogart is sat behind her on a luxurious grey dog cushion.
McCarthy repeatedly interrupts Meghan with jokes about other things she could be doing to celebrate her birthday, leaning on her royal links suggesting a tea party or a bash on a yacht.
MailOnline has produced a transcript of the video below:
Meghan: Hey Melissa, do you have a second?
McCarthy: Hey yeah, of course. I'm working on that email I told you I was going to do - that organic garden? That's what I'm doing.
[McCarthy is seen solving a Rubik's Cube, unaware that her camera is on]
Meghan: You know your camera's on, right? I can see you.
McCarthy: Aha, hang on, I'll be right back.
[McCarthy gets up from her chair]
Meghan: No no, it's no problem, its fine.
McCarthy: I think this will probably seem better for you.
