Meghan Markle and Malala Yousafzai were spilling the tea for a good cause.
“‘When we support the girls of today, we empower the women of tomorrow. Access to education is the key to unlocking this.’ – Meghan, Duchess of Sussex & Malala Yousafzai,” the “Suits” alum, 45, wrote on Instagram Sunday alongside two photos of her and the activist enjoying tea and scones.
Markle then said her jam company would collaborate with Yousafzai’s foundation.
“This International Day of the Girl, in partnership with Archewell Philanthropies, 100% of net proceeds from As Ever jams and teas will support Malala Fund and its vital work to ensure that every girl has access to free, safe, quality education,” she wrote.
“Tea for Two has never felt so good. Shop at asever.com,” Markle concluded.
Last week, the Duchess of Sussex was spotted enjoying a girls’ night out with Yousafzai, 29, at the ritzy Claridge’s hotel in London.
An eagle-eyed netizen captured the duo in deep conversation as they sat across from one another.
It’s not the first time the pair have connected.
In 2020, they took part in a virtual conversation hosted by the Malala Fund to discuss the International Day of the Girl, barriers to girls’ education and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on students worldwide.
“Meghan and I are on the same page: we both believe that when girls have access to education, everyone wins,” the Nobel Prize winner tweeted after the meeting.
“Thank 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. ♥️,” she added.
This outing marked the first time Markle had been seen in London since she, her husband, Prince Harry, and their kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, moved back to the UK at the end of August.
Markle and Harry, 42, were photographed last week walking to a local pub for lunch.
Page Six exclusively reported that the couple returned to the UK to be closer to Harry’s dad, King Charles III, who is currently battling cancer, and to ensure their children build relationships with family.
“Absolutely, everyone hopes that father and son can have a closer — more private — relationship,” a royal insider said. “It just does not help when every time they meet or speak it leaks out.”
