Meghan Markle’s ‘sister’ Delfina Blaquier in Netflix show despite awkward royal link

Meghan Markle has called in help from her celebrity pals to launch her new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, including polo legend Nacho Figueras’s wife Delfina Blaquier – who already has some royal links of her own

Meghan Markle has shown off her celebrity-packed contacts book in her new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, inviting a host of Hollywood guests to share the small screen with her.

Despite probably having an endless of stars keen to get involved, the Duchess appears to have picked the famous faces who have supported her through the past few years. Top of the list is Delfina Blaquier, wife of polo superstar Nacho Figueras, who Meghan has become firm friends with since moving back to the US with Prince Harry.

Delfina has even described her royal bestie as her “sister” and gushed about her several times on social media. But Meghan isn’t the only member of the Royal Family Delfina boasts friendships with, and it may have caused some awkward moments during the ongoing family dramas.

In fact, Nacho and Delfina were seen posing for photos with Mike and Zara Tindall just hours after the trailer for Meghan’s new show – which Delfina appears in – dropped back in January. Both couples travelled to Australia for the Magic Millions carnival, a huge celebration hosted by the racing horse auction house.

The Tindalls are said to be big fans of the event, with Zara acting as ambassador, and Nacho and Delfina are regular attendees. This year, Zara and Delfina posed for several photos together at different events, beaming as they stood with their arms around each other.

One of the snaps shows them dressed up in glamorous cocktail dresses with their husbands. Another, posted on social media by glasses company Valley Eyewear, shows the two of them with Delfina’s daughter Aurora, posing in day dresses showing off luxury sunnies. And it’s not the first year the two couples have spent time together.

At the 2024 event, Zara and Nacho went head-to-head in a polo match and hugged for photographs afterwards. There are photos of them together dating back to 2019, where they posed on the beach for that year’s official event draw. Despite her friendship with Zara, Delfina has been vocal about her support and admiration for Meghan. Harry has known Nacho for many years through their shared love of polo.

After moving to LA, Harry joined the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club with his pal, and the two women appear to have formed a close friendship while watching them play. Back in 2022, she took to social media to reflect on the time they’d spend together

Alongside a photo of them as they watched their husbands play polo together, she wrote: “M – looking forward to many more of these times with you and H. Getting to spend time together over these two months was so special. I wish everyone knew you the way you are.”

“My sister, my now fellow “pwife” (polo wife) – genius of you to come up with this. Can’t wait to see you again soon, to share thrill, hikes, and just more chill time. You also have my respect. Keep walking, steady and strong. Listen to your heart, that will guide you well, because you have a big one and it’s a beautiful one. I love you my darling.”

In the trailer for With Love, Meghan – which drops this week – Delfina can be seen watching Meghan passionately cut a loaf of focaccia and tasting ice cream, before sipping on cocktails with her pal in the garden
