Flight attendant reveals surprising handwritten note Meghan Markle left her on napkin

The Duchess of Sussex reportedly flew from New York recently with American Airlines

A group of American Airlines flight attendants were utterly blindsided when the Duchess of Sussex rocked up for a commercial flight last week, and they were even more blown away when she replied to their handwritten note.

Meghan was supposedly travelling from New York in recent days, where she was served by NYC local and cabin crew member Nina Vida.

I know what you're thinking - great name.

Anyway, Vida and her colleagues had no idea that the former Suits actress had planned to fly with their airline last week, with the lead flight attendant documenting her experience on TikTok.

"You guys will not believe who I just had on my flight, who I had the pleasure of serving!" Vida told her social media followers in an exciting new upload. "The Queen, the princess, the Duchess of Sussex! THE Meghan Markle was on my flight.

"And she is so beautiful in person, she was so sweet."

Vida revealed that she and her co-workers came up with the idea of delivering the mother-of-two with a handwritten note during the journey, aware of Meghan's passion for personalised notes.

Just last week, the Duchess went viral for giving her fans a glimpse at a handful of intimate notes she'd penned to her husband, Prince Harry, in celebration of the pair's seventh wedding anniversary - aww!

Following in the royal's footsteps, Vida revealed that she and her staff left Meghan a note, reading: "It's a pleasure serving you, we love you real bad."

She went on to claim they signed the letter: "AA girlies."

And to Vida's surprise, 'She wrote us a little handwritten note back!'.

In her TikTok - where she can be seen still donning her cabin crew uniform, she shared a first look at the handwritten note with her followers before reading the contents out loud.

"Dear AA girlies, thank you for the love, hospitality and handwritten note - you know me well," 43-year-old Meghan had reportedly replied.

"All love right back to you."

The Duchess even signed off the note by giving a special shout-out to her new lifestyle brand, As Ever, along with her Netflix series of the same name, writing, 'As ever, Meghan', at the bottom.

Despite appearing unable to contain her excitement in the clip, Vida—who boasts over 1,000 followers on the video-sharing app—did go on to admit she could 'barely read' Meghan's super cursive font.

"This handwriting is giving rich! It's giving expensive, it's giving princess," the social media star continued.

Vida also revealed that the royal had complimented her nails during the flight, despite her captain previously telling her they were rather 'intense'.

"She also said she loved my nails!" the flight attendant gushed.

Fans of Vida couldn't help but rush to the comments to admit their envy, with one joking: "That note!!! Laminate it, frame it, put it in a lock box at the bank! I would cherish it forever!"

Another went on: "Ahh lovely story. Always such nice feedback from people who meet her in person. Meghan is a true princess."

"I would brag forever about this encounter," a third continued.
