Justice for Girls published pictures of the interaction on their social media and shared details of one particular conversation the Duchess of Sussex had with two of the charity's interns.
The organisation said: "Justice for Girls was delighted to have a return visit from Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex.
"Joined by Jessica Lake and Lauri Thompson from the Lake family’s All One Fund, we had an engaging and heartfelt conversation about justice and equality for teen girls living in poverty in Canada and around the world.
"Together with our teen interns, staff, directors, and board members, we talked about Justice for Girls’ decades of work advocating for girls’ access to education, freedom from violence, Indigenous rights, and environmental justice.

"A highlight of our conversation was the focus on girls and young women's leadership. A feminist advocate from a young age herself, The Duchess was keen to chat with two of our teen interns to discuss their personal struggles for justice.
"Her genuine and understanding approach left the girls feeling heard, supported, and inspired."
Her visit came hours after she and Harry were spotted at a National Hockey League (NHL) game in Vancouver.
The Invictus Games, which the duke founded in 2014, will be held in Vancouver and Whistler in 2025.
