The two previously came together for a virtual discussion in October, 2020 to mark International Day of the Girl.

Following the conversation, the Pakistani activist spoke about their shared beliefs. “Meghan and I are on the same page: we both believe that when girls have access to education, everyone wins,” she said at the time.

It is pertinent to mention here that the outing marks Meghan’s first public appearance in London since she returned to the UK in August along with her husband, Prince Harry and their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Moreover, the family is said to be having an extended stay.

The appearance comes after Meghan was spotted holding hands with Prince Harry on October 2, outside the Falkland Arms pub in the Cotswolds.

“They were on their own and were treated the same as anyone else,” an insider told the outlet at the time.
