The source said: “Meghan has made it very clear she wants to return to work as soon as possible. She has huge amounts of energy, is extremely determined and wants to be as hands-on as possible with her charities.
Nothing has been written into her diary just yet, as she wants to wait and see how she feels after having the baby. She’s penciled in three months, but she’ll most likely return to public life in six weeks — on the Queen’s official birthday, Trooping the Colour, in June."

According to the source, Markle is used to the United States standard of three months leave unlike the six or twelve months in the United Kingdom.
“Three months’ maternity is standard in the US for American mums, they don’t normally get the six or even 12 months women get here in the UK. So this is totally normal for Meghan.”
