She had on a purple dress and a matching €575 Mackage leather jacket. She was accompanied by her close friend, Markus Anderson, who reportedly introduced her to Prince Harry last year.
Ms Markle also currently resides in Toronto while she films the US legal drama, Suits.
She has been dating the prince since July of last year and Meghan attended the almost-royal wedding of Pippa Middleton and James Matthews over the summer.
