Eagle-eyed fans have been picking apart every detail of a note Meghan Markle sent to a podcast host this week, with some left surprised by the style of the royal's handwriting.

So, we all know there are people on Earth who magically have the natural ability to write like a seasoned professional, while the rest of us write like doctors, but Markle’s note has been met with an unexpected realisation about the duchess.

Earlier this month, the Duchess of Sussex's new Netflix series dropped and it shot into the streamer’s top 10, with fans able to join Markle in the kitchen along with her celebrity pals.

However, plenty of people had already made their minds up about the show – with podcaster Amanda Hirsch commenting on the trailer: "You guys I’m scared for Meghan."

But what the star didn't expect was a handwritten response from Markle herself.

Posting a screenshot of her comment, Hirsch, 33, wrote: "OH MY DUCHESS."

The next picture showed a snap of a handwritten note signed by Markle which read: "Dear Amanda, I heard you were feeling scared.

"Don’t be! This is the fun part - let’s enjoy it."

She signed off: "As ever, Meghan."

Hirsch then wrote a post, gushing over her love of the royal, writing: “Remember I said I was scared for Meghan’s new show and the possible hate she would get bc for some reason ppl wanna hate on her about everything?"

She went on: "Like, obviously framing this. Beyond shook. Beyond spiralling. Did I smell the paper? Yes! Do I want my own monogram? Yes. Am I absolutely flabbergasted and obsessed? F**K. YES. @meghan you have a fan for life."

But while everyone is focused on the words, others are looking at the handwriting and asking if Markle can really write in such a beautiful way.

The answer to that is yes.

Before she became an actor and later a royal, Markle worked part time as a calligrapher, and even went on to teach it alongside the art of gift-wrapping and book-binding at a store called Paper Source Beverly Hills from 2004 to 2005.

“It was her part-time job as she was going through auditions,” Paper Source CEO Winnie Park revealed to PEOPLE.

“She taught calligraphy and hosted a group of customers and instructed them during a two-hour class on how to do calligraphy.”

She was even a freelance calligrapher, which reportedly brought her in some major gigs including writing the invitations for Robin Thicke and Paula Patton’s wedding in 2005.

Markle once wrote about her love of handwritten notes on her now-defunct blog The Tig, stating: “I think handwritten notes are a lost art form.

"When I booked my first [TV] pilot, my dad wrote me a letter that I still have. The idea of someone taking the time to put pen to paper is really special.”

While you might have expected her to have written her own wedding invitations, there were probably far too many to go through, so an apprentice was enlisted to stamp them instead.
