\u201cMeghan and I are on the same page: we both believe that when girls have access to education, everyone wins,\u201d Yousafzai tweeted after the meeting. <\/p>\n

\u201cThank you so much to The Duke and Duchess of Sussex for sitting down with me to have an important conversation about the future of our world. \u2665\ufe0f,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

This girls\u2019 dinner marks the first time Markle has been seen in London since she, her husband, Prince Harry, and their kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, moved back to the UK<\/a> at the end of August.<\/p>\n

Page Six exclusively reported that the couple relocated back across the pond to be closer to Harry\u2019s dad, King Charles III<\/a>, who is currently\u00a0battling cancer<\/a>, and to ensure their children build relationships with family.<\/p>\n

The Sussexes have been settling in since their arrival, with Markle being seen out and about on several occasions.<\/p>\n

Last month, the mom of two met with Ellen DeGeneres<\/a> and her wife, Portia de Rossi, at a pub near Burford, Oxfordshire.<\/p>\n

And just last week, Markle and the Duke of Sussex, 42, were seen holding hands as they arrived at a Cotswolds pub for lunch<\/a>.<\/p>\n
