Meghan's attendance at the meeting of The Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) was not publicised ahead of time, as is the case with the majority of royal engagements. 

The event was publicised after the fact when Laura Hammond, professor of development studies at SOAS University London, tweeted: 'We had an excellent discussion about how research can tackle the problems of slavery and human trafficking. Thanks to HRH Duchess of Sussex for joining us!'

Her tweet was shared alongside a photo of Meghan, sitting at the head of a table and looking engaged as another attendee spoke. 

The ACU said the event was an opportunity to explore how higher education can help build a better world.

Discussions focused on the role of universities in addressing human trafficking and modern slavery, gender equality and inclusion, peace and reconciliation, and climate change and resilience.

Meghan spoke at the time of her struggle to finance her higher education and her 'personal feeling of pride and excitement' when she studied for her degree.

She described the education of women and girls in developing countries as 'vital', and called higher education's impact 'incredible, impactful and pivotal'.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
