Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, have held a "secret" meeting.

Royal correspondent Omid Scobie posted a photo on Twitter and captioned that the two women met secretly at Kensington Palace today.

"Duchess Meghan and New Zealand Prime Minister @jacindaardern had a private meeting today at Kensington Palace," Scobie tweeted.

He also tweeted that Ms Ardern told him "the Duke and Duchess are both very warm people ... they really care about the work they do, they take their service seriously and I have a lot of respect for that".

A source revealed the Duchess "was pleased to have the chance to thank the PM for the wonderful hospitality [she and Harry] received from the people of New Zealand last year," Scobie also said in the tweet.

Ms Ardern hosted Meghan and Prince Harry in New Zealand when they visited on their royal tour last year. The tour also included visiting Australia, Fiji and Tonga in October.

Today, Ms Ardern met with British Prime Minister Theresa May in London. Tomorrow she'll attend the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
