Meghan Markle Baked Homemade Banana Bread For a Farming Family in Australia
Meghan Markle is the kind of guest who gets invited back. Today, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited the Mountain View farm in Dubbo, Australia, which is run by the Woodley family. They were there for tea, so naturally, Meghan brought a homemade loaf of banana bread with her as a gift. The Duchess reportedly baked it herself last night in the kitchen of Admiralty House in Sydney.
Per the Daily Mail's Rebecca English, the bread "chocolate chips in [it] and a bit of ginger."Along with the bread, she also brought the family some Fortnum and Mason tea.

“She said if you go to someone’s house you always bring something, so she did," recipient Benita Woodley said, according to Hannah Furness, the royal correspondent for the Daily Telegraph.
“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.”

Baking aside, Meghan is certainly keeping busy on her first major royal tour. In addition to the stop at the Woodley's farm today, she and Harry also visited with school children, and attended a community picnic in Victoria Park.
On Monday, Meghan announced that she is expecting her first child with Prince Harry next spring. According to English, today, the Duchess said she's currently "running on adrenaline" and is feeling "pretty well, so far." At this point, she's planning to keep all planned engagements, so tomorrow, we'll see her head to Melbourne for an official reception at Government House, and visits to a social enterprise cafe, a local school, and South Melbourne beach.
