Meghan Markle Is Just Like Us: Duchess Flies Commercial on American Airlines

Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, has no problem flying commercial.

According to a woman by the name of @ninavidavlogs on TikTok, Meghan recently boarded an American Airlines flight she was working on and left the crew a handwritten letter thanking them for their attention and service.

The Duchess is “so beautiful in person,” Nina said in the video, shared on Thursday, May 22. “She was so sweet. She wrote us a little handwritten note back. So we wrote her note that said, ‘It’s a pleasure of serving you. We love you real bad.’”

“And she wrote this note back that says, ‘Dear AA Girlies, thank you for the love, hospitality, and handwritten note. You know me well,’” the woman continued.

She went on to add that the Duchess of Sussex ended her personalized note with the words: “Forever Meghan.”

“You know, I can barely read this cursive, but look at this handwriting: it’s giving rich. It’s giving expensive. It’s giving princess,” she explained. “She also said she loved my nails and the captain on my last flight said they were intense. So, sir, it doesn’t matter what you think. The Queen says she likes them.”

In addition to flying among the common folk, Meghan, 43, has been promoting her “Confessions of a Female Founder” podcast. She was joined on the Tuesday, Mat 20, episode of her the podcast by her former stylist-turned-CEO of hair and beauty brand Kitsch, Cassandra Morales Thurswell. During the episode, the two reminisced about the former actress’ past career.

“I said, ‘Cassie, can you help make this stylish and give me a vibe?’ To which you said, ‘Yes,’” Meghan recalled of her time going to auditions for various roles. Thurswell remembered, “I had no idea what I was doing, but I really enjoyed our time together — it was so fun.”

“This is pre-Suits for me,” Meghan explained. “This is really early days when I was auditioning. And I just remember literally going through things, and you think, ‘OK, here are a couple staples that you need.’ This is important because it speaks to … you talk about not having a strategy, but always hustling. And being able to say, ‘OK, well, I don’t necessarily know how to do this, but I’m gonna figure out a way to be good at it.’”

One of Thurswell’s choices even helped Meghan out. “You called me and said, ‘I just found the best pair of black patent leather Louboutin wedge flats and they are $200,’” Meghan shared. “I remember going, ‘I cannot,’ and you were like, ‘I promise you, you are going to wear them.’ And of course, I wore those shoes until the red wore out. I wore those shoes on my final audition for Suits when I booked the part.”
