In response to Hirsch's concern, Markle hand wrote her a letter on monogrammed paper, which read: 'Dear Amanda, I heard you were feeling scared. Don't be! This is the fun part — let's enjoy it.'
Taking to her Instagram stories on March 19, Hirsch shared the provenance of her original comment. '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?' Hirsch wrote on her story.
In a follow-up story showing the letter, Hirsch said Meghan could now consider her a 'fan for life.'
'Like, obviously framing this,' Hirsch wrote. 'Beyond shook. Beyond spiralling. Did I smell the paper? Yes! Do I want my own monogram? Yes. Am I absolutely flabbergasted and obsessed. F---. YES.'
With Love, Meghan was released on Netflix on March 4 and promptly landed a coveted spot in the streaming service's top ten shows list. Just three days later, it was announced that With Love, Meghan would return for a second season later in the year. The Netflix series launched in tandem with Markle's lifestyle brand As Ever, which sells products personally developed by the Duchess, including dried flower sprinkles and packaged baking mixes.
