Meghan Markle partners with Malala Fund through tea brand

Meghan Markle announced a partnership with Malala Fund through her tea brand, As Ever. The collaboration will see 100% of net proceeds from As Ever jams and teas support the Malala Fund's work to ensure girls have access to free, safe, quality education.

Markle shared photos of herself and Malala Yousafzai enjoying tea and scones on Instagram, accompanied by a quote about the importance of education for girls. The post included a call to action for customers to shop at asever.com.

The meeting between Markle and Malala Yousafzai occurred during a girls' night out at the Claridge’s hotel in London. A netizen captured the pair in deep conversation, marking their first public appearance together in weeks.

Markle and Malala Yousafzai previously collaborated on a virtual conversation in 2020 hosted by the Malala Fund. The event focused on the International Day of the Girl, barriers to girls' education, and the impact of the pandemic on students worldwide.

Malala Yousafzai tweeted her appreciation for Markle’s involvement, stating they share a belief that education for girls benefits everyone. She also thanked the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for their conversation about the future of the world.

Markle and Prince Harry returned to the UK in late August, where they have been seen spending time with family. Page Six reported the move was to be closer to King Charles III, who is battling cancer, and to help their children build relationships with family.
