According to The Express, Meghan met with Rufus Norris, the director of the National Theatre last month to discuss her plans for the role.
Her new position will include becoming involved with The American Associates of the National Theatre, a New York-based, non-profit organisation which contributes more than £3 million a year to support the National Theatre.
Compounding these duties, Meghan will also be required to liaise with American benefactors to strengthen relationships between them and the National Theatre.
Rufus Norris became the theatre director in 2015 and is said to be aware of promoting openness to different cultures.
Until now, The Express reports,
"He has never openly admitted the theatre’s connection to the Royal Family as using the 'Royal' prefix to describe the institution for fear of being considered elitist."He said:
"The country is still very class divided and anything that adds to that perception, that this place is not open to everybody, could be a downfall."
Meghan played the intelligent and attractive legal-whizz in the hit US TV series Suits for eight seasons before calling it a day in 2017.
The announcement of her new role as patron of the National Theatre is expected in the coming days.Explore more on these topics:
