Meghan Markle surprises fans at screening of her Netflix show
Meghan Markle was part of a huge surprise just hours before her new Netflix series was released on the streaming platform.
To show her appreciation to loyal fans who had followed her since the early days of her former lifestyle blog, The Tig, The Duchess of Sussex made a surprise appearance at a screening of her new Netflix series. Taking to Instagram, Meghan shared the moment she walked into the screening of ‘With Love, Meghan’ to surprise a group of fans and asked the excited audience, “What did you guys think?”.
Additional photos from the screening showed Meghan warmly embracing audience members and exchanging friendship bracelets. “Had to make sure they saw it first,” she captioned one photo. Before adding, “The girls that have supported me for nearly a decade!”
This comes as Meghan opened up in a rare interview ahead of her series, which has just aired on Netflix.
Speaking to People magazine, the Duchess expressed gratitude towards those who have allowed her the space to ‘learn from her mistakes’, stating, “I appreciate everyone who gave me the grace to make mistakes and figure it out, and also to be forgiving with myself through that. It’s a learning curve.”
She touched upon the challenges she faced with her upcoming lifestyle brand, As Ever, formerly known as American Riviera Orchard. Of her trademark issues with the initial name, she said: “I was figuring it out in real time”. Meghan also described working on her new Netflix project as “super joyful” and emphasised the importance of self-discovery as a woman, mother, and wife.
She fondly recalled a moment with her five-year-old son Archie, who cautioned her “Mama, don’t work too hard” while drifting off to sleep beside her. The family, including Archie’s sister Lilibet and father Prince Harry, even participated in the production, with Archie handling the clapperboard during a set visit. Some scenes were filmed in the Sussexes’ own chicken coop, garden, and orchard.
Her new programme, With Love, Meghan, aired today at 8am UK time and midnight on the American west coast, following a delay due to LA wildfires in January. This will be the second Netflix project for the Sussexes, who inked a lucrative multi-million-pound deal with the streaming giant in 2020.
