Meghan Markle Surprises Fans at NYC Screening of Netflix Show

A few lucky fans experienced the Markle sparkle in real time.

At the debut of her Netflix show titled “With Love, Meghan“, Meghan Markle made a surprise appearance among her most devoted admirers and well-wishers. The Duchess of Sussex left spectators in awe during a screening in New York City on March 3 when she unexpectedly joined them after they had finished watching the series.

43-year-old Meghan Markle hinted at an exciting surprise for fans who’ve been keeping up with The Tig and other aspects of her life, as she stated in an Instagram Story post dated March 3. “The girls aren’t aware that I’m about to appear,” she added.

Meghan, mother of Archie (age 5) and Lilibet (age 3), accompanied by Prince Harry, walked into the screening room, prompting a reaction from the audience. Curious about their thoughts, she inquired, “So, what did you all think?

Meghan continued to discuss details from the unforeseen visit, revealing footage of her embracing certain participants, receiving presents for her offspring, and even posting a photo of two devoted fans who have the words “As Ever,” which is also the title of her latest lifestyle business, inked on their forearms.

To wrap up the night, the Duchess of Sussex posted a selfie featuring the group who, as she disclosed, have stood by her for almost a decade.

10 years ago, Meghan’s lifestyle blog, The Tig, was first published while she was filming Suits. This blog showcased her favorite food, travel destinations, and personal stories. But when she started her public romance with Harry, she closed the website and removed her personal social media accounts.

The launch of Meghan’s Netflix series occurred 10 years after the creation of her lifestyle blog, The Tig, which took place during her time on Suits. This blog featured her favorite foods, travel adventures, and personal tales. However, as her public relationship with Harry progressed, she decided to take down the website and erase her personal social media presence.

In 2018, they got married, and though the step into royal life was challenging, it proved to be a rewarding choice, all for the sake of her love.

In an interview with People published on March 3, Meghan – who stepped away from her royal duties together with Harry in 2020 – expressed that while she adored “The Tig”, her love for her husband outweighs it. She added, “That was the choice I made then, and I wouldn’t go back on it for anything.

In her new journey, Meghan mentioned that Harry, at 40 years old, has been incredibly encouraging as he witnesses her re-immersing herself in the field she was deeply passionate about.

She mentioned, “I encountered my spouse when I was going through ‘The Tig’,” she stated. “What’s more, whenever he witnesses me engaging in the activity I was involved with when we initially crossed paths, I can see a glimmer of excitement in his eyes.

For Meghan, her family is the driving force behind her purposes, as she sets out to establish a fresh identity with aspirations that this venture might motivate her kids, particularly her daughter, to pursue their passions.

She expressed to People that it’s incredibly meaningful for her, after dedicating so much of her life to advocating for girls and women, to now have a daughter of her own. She finds joy in the idea that this family story spans generations, with Archie being a part of it as well. Her husband is also included in this journey. The traditional feel of it all appeals to her, knowing she can shape this experience for her daughter and educate her about what it means to be a working mother. She hopes this aspect of their family life will become a part of her daughter’s legacy too.

He said in an interview with Sky News back in 2015, when asked about the possibility of him settling down due to his niece Princess Charlotte’s birth, “I don’t believe these things can be rushed. It will happen naturally, at its own time.” He also mentioned that he would indeed love to have children now, but there are certain steps one must take first.

In the past, Meghan had a premonition about buying a Cartier French Tank watch for her future child. She shared with Hello! in 2015 that she had always desired this watch. When she learned that Suits was renewed for our third season (which seemed like a significant achievement at the time), she decided to treat herself and bought the two-tone version. She had it engraved with “To M.M. From M.M.” and intends to present it to her daughter in the future.

The topic of fatherhood, much like marriage, has often followed the younger son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana closely. In an interview with People magazine in May 2016, just prior to meeting his future spouse, he expressed mixed feelings: “At times during life, especially when we travel abroad, I think, ‘I’d love to have kids now.’ But there are other moments when I shy away from the idea, thinking, ‘All right, no need for kids!’ There’s no rush. There have been instances where I’ve even been discouraged from having children.

2017 saw the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announce their engagement and give their initial joint interview. As expected during such an occasion, discussions about starting a family surfaced. “Absolutely, one step at a time, and hopefully we’ll welcome a new family member soon,” Prince Harry stated then, with Meghan grinning by his side.

Meghan expressed that it was like magic for her to become a mother after Archie’s birth. She found it absolutely incredible and, to put it simply, she’s extremely content because she has the two finest men in the world by her side.

After Archie was born in May 2019, Harry expressed his feelings by saying, “This experience has been more wonderful than I could ever have imagined. I can’t fathom how women go through what they do, but we are both overjoyed and extremely grateful for all the love and support we’ve received from everyone out there. It’s been incredible, so we wanted to share our joy with everyone.

During a talk at the National Youth Mentoring Summit in 2019, Harry mused about the life lessons he’s gained since becoming a parent. He emphasized, “Today, I find myself struck by several things, particularly the influence of the unseen role model. The individual here today might not realize that someone admires them and looks up to them for guidance. For this person, you serve as an inspiration towards kindness, improvement, growth, success, and making a greater impact.” He continued, “As a father, I now understand more clearly that my son is constantly observing me, learning from my actions, possibly even intending to emulate my path in the future.

Our top concern is our little one, but following that comes our work, which is equally important. We’re simply doing all we can to contribute positively towards improving the world.” (Prince Harry shared during a speaking engagement in 2020)

Harry and Meghan discovered a positive aspect amidst the coronavirus pandemic with their baby Archie. As Meghan expressed in October 2020, “In numerous aspects, we are fortunate to have this time to witness him grow. If not for COVID-19, we would be traveling and working more, thus missing out on many of those precious moments.” She added, “Therefore, I believe it has provided us with a lot of valuable family time.

Harry mentioned, “We witnessed all of Archie’s major milestones – his first steps, his initial run, his very first stumble, and more.

In May 2021, Meghan made a seldom television appearance during Global Citizen’s VAX Live: The Concert to Reunite the World special. On this occasion, the former actress spoke candidly about her pregnancy and expressed her delight at the prospect of raising a daughter. “My partner and I are overjoyed to soon be welcoming a daughter,” she stated then. “We share this joy with countless families worldwide. When we contemplate our daughter, we think of all the young women and girls around the globe who deserve the opportunity and encouragement to lead us into the future.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d like to emphasize that our present choices and actions play a crucial role in shaping the leaders of tomorrow. By making decisions aimed at fostering a thriving, fair, and empathetic future, we are not just nurturing them, but also paving the way for a prosperous, equitable, and compassionate world – one that includes us all.

In a brief guest role, Meghan appears on Oprah’s Apple TV+ series titled, “The Me You Can’t See”. During this episode, the Californian seems to honor her expanding family by wearing a shirt that carries the message, “Nurturing Tomorrow”.

On June 4th, they were overjoyed to announce the birth of their daughter, whom they named Lili. On their Archewell Foundation page, they expressed their joy by saying, “Lili is more than we could have hoped for, and we are incredibly grateful for the love and blessings we’ve received from all around the world. We appreciate your continued kindness and support as we celebrate this special moment in our family.

On June 8, 2021, Meghan is set to debut her initial children’s book titled “The Bench“. This book offers a unique perspective on fatherhood as seen through a mother’s eyes. In an official statement released in May, she shared that the story originated from a poem she penned for her spouse on Father’s Day, just a month after their son Archie was born, which eventually evolved into this narrative.

In a letter dated October 2021, addressed to House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer, Meghan expressed her joy but also her feeling of being swamped upon the birth of her child, as the pandemic had disrupted normal operations in hospitals, schools, and other places.

In simpler terms, she expressed that, much like other parents, we didn’t face the difficult decision of either staying with our newborn during those crucial initial months or returning to work. We were fortunate enough to bring our child home and dedicate ourselves entirely to our family during this important (and significant) phase. This choice allowed us to avoid the daily, heart-wrenching dilemmas about childcare, work, and healthcare that many families must confront.

Meghan went on to say, “It’s unfair for any family to be forced into making such choices. A fair society should not require families to pick between earning an income and looking after their children (or relatives, considering the broader perspective of a well-rounded paid leave policy)”.

In April 2022, as reported on TODAY, Harry found it nearly impossible to separate his parenting duties from his work-at-home routine.

As a diligent participant, I find myself intruding on our Zoom meetings more frequently than others might. Additionally, it seems these interruptions happen quite regularly for me, which, surprisingly, is somewhat endearing.

As a proud parent, I’ve found myself admiring the mischievous spark in my child that mirrors my own wit. I make it a point to nurture this trait, believing it to be a vital element that adds zest to life.

Meghan admitted she was concerned for her—and everybody else’s—kids in the age of social media.

During the Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit in October 2023, she emphasized that being a mother holds the highest significance in her life, second only to being Harry’s wife, as she spoke about mental wellness in the digital age on World Mental Health Day.

She continued, “I’d like to mention that I consider ourselves lucky because our kids are still quite young, which means we don’t have to deal with these changes right away. However, I must admit, I find it unsettling to see how things are evolving so rapidly; it feels as though the future is knocking on our door.

As a parent, Meghan pointed out that while life’s days can seem lengthy, the years pass swiftly. In light of this observation, she added, “Given how everyone is impacted by the digital realm and social media, our collective desire is simply to ensure security for all.

Meghan explained this to a group of kindergarteners during her visit to Lightway Academy in Abuja, Nigeria in May 2024: “Our daughter Lili is noticeably smaller compared to all of you. She’s almost 3 years old now. A few weeks ago, she looked at me and saw her reflection in my eyes, and sweetly said, ‘Mama, I see myself in you.’

Meghan remarked, “She spoke very literally, but I interpreted her words in an entirely unique manner. It struck me, ‘Indeed, I recognize myself in you, and vice versa.’
