Meghan Markle<\/a> <\/a>has proved she don\u2019t need no man, attending her first solo event in London overnight. <\/p>\n

The opening of the Oceania exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts saw the Duchess rub-noses (literally) with a range of guests, including New Zealand\u2019s high commissioner Sir Jerry Mataparae and his wife.<\/p>\n

Meghan could barely contain her giggles as she greeted her hosts with a traditional M\u0101ori \u201chongi\u201d. <\/p>\n

And honestly, we\u2019d probably be the same. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n

Throughout the night, Meghan viewed exhibitions from religions in New Zealand, Fiji, the Kingdom of Tonga and Australia. <\/p>\n

Very fitting, considering her upcoming tour Down Under. <\/p>\n

And she absolutely nailed the outfit game (as per usual) wearing a long-sleeved, black Givenchy dress and matching heels. #SLAY. <\/p>\n

Meghan\u2019s solo adventure comes just days after Kensington Palace announced a new project for the former actress: a charitable cookbook called Together, Our Community Cookbook. <\/em><\/p>\n\n

Profits from the sales of \u2018Together\u2019 will support the Hubb Community Kitchen, keeping it open for up to seven days a week and helping widen its reach to others in the community #CookTogether<\/a>: https:\/\/t.co\/0o2njdVDS9<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/SJw2iZjC2N<\/a><\/p>— Kensington Palace (@KensingtonRoyal) September 20, 2018<\/a><\/blockquote> \n
