The Duke of Sussex and Duchess of Sussex are met by the Prime Minister of New Zealand

Back in October of last year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were moving through their wildly successful South Pacific tour. They spent several days in New Zealand, where they did several events with New Zealand’s young prime minister Jacinda Ardern. Meghan and Prime Minister Arden are close in age and it just felt like they got along very well. Meghan highlighted several charities and programs close to Ardern’s heart in New Zealand too. Strengthening commonwealth ties and all of that. Well, Prime Minister Ardern is currently on an official visit to the UK, and in addition to stopping by Downing Street, it looks like Prime Minister Ardern also stopped by Kensington Palace to have a private meeting with Meghan:

Monday is a holiday for Americans, but Meghan Markle was busy with royal duties. The mom-to-be, whose first first child with Prince Harry is due in late April, had a private meeting with New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern at Kensington Palace on Monday. According to TVNZ reporter Joy Reid, the visit was to “recognize their recent successful visit to [New Zealand]” during the couple’s royal tour of Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand in October.

While in New Zealand, Meghan and Ardern teamed up for a number of events. The prime minister was on hand to greet the couple when they arrived at the Wellington International Airport Military Terminal, then spent time with them later that night during a welcome reception at the Government House in Wellington.

A “private meeting” you say? That’s interesting. It’s also interesting that there’s no mention of Harry or anyone else at this meeting. Harry is the Commonwealth Youth Ambassador, and Prince William and Kate Will Be King And Queen, as their fans tell us so often. Why weren’t they trying to meet with a prime minister of a British commonwealth country? And why weren’t there photos of Ardern and Meghan?!?! I want to see them hanging out and talking about feminism!
