Duchess Meghan is "running on adrenaline" but "doing pretty well do far" on her royal tour.
The 37-year-old royal – who announced earlier this week she and her husband Prince Harry are expecting their first baby – had been feeling "a bit tired" but has vowed to continue with all 76 of her engagements of the 16-day tour of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and Tonga.
The former ‘Suits’ actress was speaking from Mountain View farm, in Australia, where she and Prince Harry were hosted by the Woodley family, who have been on the land for five generations.
Family member Emily Carroll said: "Meghan told me that she’s feeling pretty good so far, which is great, and that she’s running on adrenaline.
"She said they’re doing 76 engagements in 16 days, with maybe one rest in the middle. She’s made for this royal business, isn’t she?"
And Meghan even gifted her hosts with some hand-baked banana bread as a token of her appreciation
Speaking to the Evening Standard, Emily, 33, said: "She said if you go to someone’s house you always bring something, so she did.
"She said she was worried about the bananas, that she’d put too many bananas in it. But the Duke said there’s never too many bananas."
The royal couple fawned over the family’s youngest member, 13-month-old Ruby, and the tot’s mother Emily admitted the toddler had missed her nap to spend time with the pair.
She said: "She’s normally in bed at 10.30am but we had to stay up for this. She’s done so well… They’re both great with kids."
