A cabin crew member has shared details of a handwritten note she received from Meghan Markle, which featured a surprise message and plug to her brand.

American Airlines air stewardess Nina Vida was working when the Duchess of Sussex joined her flight, and an interaction quickly sparked as the flight crew penned her a friendly welcome message. In a TikTok video, Nina, who is based in New York, described how the team welcomed Meghan aboard with a note that read: “It’s a pleasure serving you; we love you real bad.”

As a fan of personal correspondence, Meghan responded with her own handwritten note, tagging her signature alongside a bit of promotion for her new lifestyle brand, As Ever. The recently launched company is Meghan’s latest venture, and was previouly named American Riviera Orchard until she came up against copyright issues.

In the video, Nina proudly displayed Meghan’s reply. It read: “Dear AA girlies, thank you for the love, hospitality and handwritten note – you know me well. All love right back to you. As ever, Meghan.”

While the royal couple commonly travel by private jet, there have been instances where they opt for public airlines. Notably, Prince Harry jetted off on American Airlines for King Charles’ Coronation in May 2023, the Express reports. Meghan’s exact date on the American Airlines flight remains a mystery, but she was spotted in New York not long ago for the prestigious Time 100 summit.

In the TikTok video, Nina couldn’t help but rave about Meghan’s handwritten note, although she confessed it was a struggle to decipher the stylish script. Enthusiastically, she said: “This handwriting is giving rich! It’s giving expensive, it’s giving princess.”

Nina often shares insights into her life as a cabin crew member on TikTok and boasts over 1K followers. Viewers were delighted to see the video about Meghan’s interaction and one commented: “Thank you for sharing – Meghan is awesome!”

Another said: “She’s so sweet and authentic. Meghan is pure elegance and kindness.” A third noted: “Ahh lovely story. Always such nice feedback from people who meet her in person. Meghan is a true princess.”

One particularly captivated fan exclaimed: “That note!!! Laminate it, frame it, put it in a lock box at the bank! I would cherish it forever!”.

Nina also shared that Meghan made a point to compliment her nail art, despite the captain’s remarks that they were somewhat “intense”. The stewardess has in the past mentioned serving celebrities such as Ariana Grande during flights.

Last week, Meghan shared an adorable array of images on her Instagram in celebration of her seventh anniversary with Harry, showcasing yet again her renowned calligraphic talent in the date captions.
