According to a royal source, this news has been a closely guarded secret for a number of months, but Meghan Markle's first royal patronage has been accidentally revealed online.

Thanks to an accidental post by the The National Theatre which was quickly deleted, we now know that Meghan Markle is its new royal patron.

Despite the post being deleted almost instantly, The Telegraph managed to grab a screenshot which was posted on their social channels.
