Meghan Markle's First London Outing Since UK Return Was Dinner With Malala Yousafzai

Meghan Markle is settling into her new London life, and her first big night out since returning to the UK was nothing short of iconic. The Duchess of Sussex was spotted dining at Claridge’s in Mayfair with none other than Malala Yousafzai, the Nobel laureate and education activist. The two were seen deep in conversation, with Meghan in a white long-sleeved shirt and Malala in a beige coat.

This isn’t a new friendship. Meghan and Malala first connected in 2020 during a Malala Fund virtual discussion about girls’education. Since then, the pair have shared a mutual commitment to advocating for educational access worldwide. The dinner marks Meghan’s first London sighting since she and Prince Harry relocated from the US in late August, reportedly to be closer to King Charles III amid his cancer battle.

Meghan’s UK return has already produced a few memorable moments, including a casual pub outing in Oxfordshire with Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi. But a girls’night with a Nobel laureate at one of London’s most legendary hotels? That’s a whole different level. What do you think of Meghan’s London era so far?
