It's back to work for actor Priyanka Chopra after a weekend with the royals at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding. See the pictures here.


Work is her duties as a Unicef Goodwill Ambassador for Child Rights.  Chopra is visiting Rohingya refugee camps on a field visit to Bangladesh. She tweeted the pictures saying, "Im in Coxs Bazaar, Bangladesh today for a field visit UNICEF; visiting one of the largest refugee camps in the world..."


On Monday tweeted a photograph of herself from an aircraft looking out of the window and said, "Follow my Instagram to share my experiences as I visit the Rohingya refugee camps on this Unicef field visit. Children uprooted, the world needs to care. We need to care."


Priyanka, 35, has worked with Unicef for a decade and was appointed as the national and global Unicef goodwill ambassador for Child Rights in 2010 and 2016 respectively. She promotes causes such as environment, health and education and womens rights among many others.


Almost 700,000 refugees have fled violence in neighbouring Myanmar and arrived in Coxs Bazar since August 2017, according to the UN.


Last year, Priyanka had met Syrian refugee children in Jordan.
