Flight attendant Nina Vida uploaded a video sharing the story, and said she had initially given Meghan a note which read: 'It's a pleasure serving you! Love you real bad – AA girlies.'
Nina was delighted when Prince Harry's wife responded and left a heartwarming note of her own.
Writing in her beautiful calligraphy handwriting, Meghan penned: '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.'
Nina was delighted at the personal touch, and told fans: 'You guys will not believe who I just had on my flight—who I had the pleasure of serving: the Queen. The Princess. The Duchess of Sussex. Sussex.
'The Meghan Markle was on my flight, and she's so beautiful in person.
'She was so sweet. Um, she wrote us a little handwritten note back.
'You know, I can barely read this cursive. But look at this! Handwriting is giving rich. It's giving expensive. It's giving Princess.'
New York-based Nina, who was dressed in her uniform in the clip, said Meghan even gave her a personal complement.
The cabin crew member revealed: 'She also said she loved my nails.
Meghan Markle reveals the reason why she always refers to Prince Harry as 'H'
'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.'
Meghan is known for her love of handwritten notes and recently sent one to Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast host Amanda Hirsch.
Amanda had left a comment in January on a trailer for Meghan's new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, admitting she was "scared for Meghan".
In response, the Duchess had mailed a handwritten letter which read: "Dear Amanda, I heard you were feeling scared.
'Don't be! This is the fun part – let's enjoy it."
Following the note, Amanda said she is now a 'fan' of Meghan 'for life.'
Meghan and Harry, 40, often like to travel by private jet, but have flown commercial on a number of occasions.
The Duke of Sussex opted to travel by an American Airlines commercial flight to King Charles' coronation in 2023 to the shock of fellow passengers.
It isn't clear when Meghan left the note to staff on the American Airlines flight, but she recently attended the Time100 summit in New York and watched a Broadway show.
Meghan's mood board

This week, Meghan shared a "love story" mood board to mark her and Harry's seven-year anniversary.
In a post on Instagram, the Duchess of Sussex thanked all those who have been by the pair's side.
Snaps of Archie and Lilibet can be seen during happy family picnics and activities.
One adorable photo appears to show big brother Archie kissing his little sister, while another appears to show his baby scan.
Handwritten lyrics of Ben E King's Stand by Me are also displayed, along with what appears to be the coat of arms approved by the late Queen when Meghan became a Duchess on her wedding in May 2018.
Meghan worked with the College of Arms to finalise the design, representing her American roots, before the Queen signed it off.
The duchess captioned the post: "Seven years of marriage. A lifetime of stories.
"Thanks to all of you (whether by our side, or from afar) who have loved and supported us throughout our love story - we appreciate you.
"Happy anniversary!"

Elio gives Pixar its worst ever box-office opening despite positive reviews
Pixar has had its worst box office opening ever with Elio, its new, alien-themed children's animation, taking just an estimated US$21m in North America and $14m internationally, despite generally positive reviews. Elio, about an orphaned boy whose dream of being abducted by (friendly) aliens comes true, struggled against the competition: Disney's live action remake of How To Train Your Dragon, which ate the competition with $37m in its second weekend; and Danny Boyle's zombie threequel 28 Years Later, which landed 23 years after his cult classic 28 Days Later and took $30m in North America and $60m globally. Pixar, the powerhouse studio behind Toy Story, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles, had been bracing for modest results for Elio as it weathers an industry-wide trend of original animations struggling to perform against franchises and remakes. While Pixar has found success with its own franchises – most recently Inside Out 2, which grossed an estimated $155m in its opening weekend and a total of $1.7bn globally in 2024 – it has found original ideas a harder sell. Ahead of Elio's opening weekend, pre-release tracking suggested it would be on par with Pixar's 2023 original Elemental, which took just under $30m in its opening weekend – a significant step down from the high-water mark for original animations set by the studio with 2017's Coco, which took $49m at the domestic box office in its opening weekend and $814.3m globally across its release. On Sunday, Pixar's corporate parent, Disney, said it was confident its latest movie would find the same longer-term success as Elemental, a sleeper hit that ultimately took almost $500m globally. Exit data bodes well, with Elio scoring glowing PostTrak exit results from its opening weekend, and an A CinemaScore, including an A+ from kids. Reviews have also been generally positive, although some critics have found it underwhelming. Guardian's Peter Bradshaw said the film had 'charm, likability and that potent ingredient: childhood loneliness and vulnerability', while also describing the large chunk of the film set in space as '[occasionally] a little formulaic, a bit programmatic'. Pixar's most successful opening weekend in its 39 year-history was for 2018's Incredibles 2, which took $182.6m in North America and $231.5m globally.

Lana del Rey celebrates birthday with alligator tour guide hubby… as she teams up with surprise singer for tour
Singer Lana del Rey celebrated her 40th birthday over the weekend, with her husband Jeremy Dufrene and a few in-laws. The Summertime Sadness singer shared new snaps on her Instagram on Saturday, one of which showed her holding a pair of white cakes, surrounded by Dufrene and several in-laws, weeks after her subtle tribute to Dufrene at the 2025 Met Gala. She was wearing a strapless camo top and matching shorts with white knee-high socks and shoes in the first snap. Her husband Dufrene was behind her, donning a Ford trucker's cap, a matching camo shirt, green shorts and white sneakers. She was surrounded by a number of unnamed in-laws in the post, one of whom she seemingly shares a birthday with. The singer also took to Instagram over the weekend to reveal some of the opening acts on her upcoming tour, including actress/singer Addison Rae. 'Just a couple in-laws and a baby. Thank you for sharing your birthday with me cancer queen Phoenix,' she began. 'I'm still convinced I gotta be 50/50 Gemini tho, that would explain all three Lil vibes I got going on all the time,' she added. 'So excited to see everybody starting tomorrow on tour and for all the folks joining us. Truly thank you thank you love you,' she concluded. Del Ray also shared another snap of her in the passenger seat of a vehicle, with a gold bracelet visible on her left wrist., which didn't include a caption. She also took to Instagram to announce three opening acts for her UK and Ireland Tour. Del Rey will be joined by the group London Grammar for her June 23 show at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, UK. She will be joined by Banks during a trio of shows in Glasgow at Hamden Park on June 26, Liverpool at Anfield Stadium on June 28 and Dublin, Ireland at Aviva Stadium on June 30. For her final two shows, she'll be joined by Addison Rae on July 3 and 4 for a pair of shows at London's iconic Wembley Stadium. Lana and Jeremy exchanged vows by the water in Des Allemandes, Louisiana, last year at the same bayou where he operates his popular swamp tours. Lana first shared a photo with Jeremy after taking one of his tours from Arthur's Airboat Tours in Des Allemands, Louisiana back in 2019. After their initial meeting, they reconnected earlier in 2024 before tying the knot in late September last year in what sources described as a 'whirlwind' romance. 'It's been kind of a whirlwind romance, but Lana's close friends hoped she would get married,' the source said. 'Jeremy is different from the men that Lana meets in the entertainment world. He's a great guy,' the source added. 'He's charming and charismatic in a Southern way, very much a gentleman and he treats Lana really well. She's an old soul,' the source continued.

Chris Pratt goes shirtless for his 46th birthday… as he shares surprising advice
turned 46 on Saturday, June 21 and shared a video to Instagram in which he pontificated on being four years away from turning 50. 'Well guys, it's my birthday. 46 years, wow. unreal,' he said. 'Birthday advice: This is a wild one, but whenever one door opens another one closes. 'Which is really crazy to think about because every time you open a door, and then you close it, you know that somewhere around the world a door just opened. 'And that person is probably like "What the h*ll, my house is haunted." 'Think about that,' he said, acting like a guru who has just imparted wisdom on his fans. His wife Katherine Schwarzenegger, 35, also shared a sweet birthday tribute to her husband of six years. Katherine shared two pics, one of just the two of them and one with their youngest child Ford. She shared the photos with the caption reading, Happy birthday to my @prattprattpratt! You're a ray of sunshine in all of our lives! Cheers to your best year yet!' Earlier this month the Parks and Recreation star, eased his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger for bringing her own can of root beer to their anniversary dinner. The couple went out to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary, but despite having a menu full of tasty treats at their disposal, Katherine insisted on having her own soda. The Electric State star, 45, lovingly called out his wife, 35, for the quirk as he marked their special occasion on Instagram with a photo from their date night. 'Happy 6 year anniversary to the woman who brings her own root beer to fancy dinner,' he wrote in the photo. Ever the comedian, he even drew an arrow towards the beverage, which was a can of the prebiotic soda Olipop. The couple enjoyed a scrumptious chocolate treat with a side of cream, served on a plate which read in chocolate icing, 'Happy Anniversary.' '6 years tomorrow,' Katherine noted with heart eyes emoji. The restaurant even personalized their treats. Katherine laughed over two cups of coffee they were served which featured latte art of just her husband. Katherine also shared a few other images from their fun night out. 'Thanks to the waiter for bringing us two coffees with pics of only my husband.... Happy anniversary to me!' she said with a laughing crying emoji. But Katherine didn't let the exclusion ruin her evening, as she followed it up with a smiling selfie with her hubby. The couple went out to dinner on Saturday, a day ahead of their official anniversary. While Katherine opted for a healthy beverage choice, she did enjoy other decadent options that were definitely not from home. Chris also shared a sweet family photo in honor of their special day. The image included included his 12-year-old son Jack (whom he shares with ex-wife Anna Faris), along with the children he has with Katherine - daughters Lyla, four, Eloise, three, and son Ford, seven months, all of whom were concealed from view with a strategically-drawn pink heart. 'Happy anniversary darling!!' he gushed. He continued gushing about his sweetheart with a photo posted to his Instagram grid from their dinner, along with a snap from their wedding day. '6 years ago today, I married my best friend. You've shown me what love, grace and strength look like,' the began in the caption. 'Thank you for making this life so full of joy, family, and faith. Happy Anniversary, Darling!' Katherine also marked the anniversary with a sweet black-and-white photo of her and Chris. '6 years of love, fun and babies! I love it all— happy anniversary (heart emoji),' she wrote.
