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.

'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.

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!"

Leonardo DiCaprio gets cozy with NYC's power crowd while dining at city's most exclusive restaurant
Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted breaking bread with political insiders and entertainment moguls in New York on Thursday. The actor, 50, dined at Rao's the legendary, ten-table East Harlem Italian joint where landing a seat is tougher than scoring an Oscar. According to Page Six, the A-lister sat down with Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and entrepreneur Andrew Murstein, who hosted the gathering. DiCaprio's Wolf of Wall Street co-star Bo Dietl, ABC Radio's Sid Rosenberg, host of Sid and Friends in the Morning on 77WABC, New York's top-rated morning news talk show the actor's father George DiCaprio and his stepmother rounded out the party. 'Leo was extremely friendly and took a dozen photos with fans, and at least five video chats on FaceTime' with enthusiastic diners' friends and family members,' an Insider told Page Six. While the Titanic star drew plenty of attention, it was Blakeman who showed up with the muscle. 'A lot of security was there, but not for Leo. There were five security detail people for Blakeman,' the source added. During the hush-hush meal, guests reportedly overheard Blakeman pitching his vision to transform Nassau County into Hollywood East, citing the $533 million in economic impact generated by Grumman and Gold Coast Studios in Bethpage, where scenes from Wolf of Wall Street were filmed. Blakeman previously served as commissioner for the New York-New Jersey Port Authority, as well as a Nassau County legislator and Hempstead town councilman. Leo kept it casual for the occasion and sported a black shirt, beige jacket and a baseball cap accessorized with a gold chain. While the dinner was arranged through Murstein, even celebrities struggle to get through the door at Rao's. The 125-year-old Harlem hotspot doesn't accept walk-ins or reservations, and there's virtually no way to contact the restaurant unless you have an 'in'. The exclusivity is so extreme, one seat at Rao's recently hit $20,000 on the bidding site CharityBuzz. Menu prices at the famed eatery start around $16, with their signature beef lasagna coming in at $36 and their top-tier steak reaching $70, not including the sauces or sides. Other famous celebrities seen dining at Rao's include Al Pacino, Woody Allen, Frank Sinatra, Robert De Niro, Donald Trump, Pete Davidson, Kevin Costner, and Bethenny Frankel, among others. The exclusivity is so extreme, one seat at Rao's recently hit $20,000 on the bidding site CharityBuzz (Pictured: Pete Davidson attending Rao's Restaurant pop-up in February 2025 in New Orleans) While normally the preserve of the rich and famous, one man has managed to crack the code. Nicky DiMaggio, is a professional reservationist who charges $500 to $1,000 to get clients into New York's most exclusive restaurants - including Rao's. He first got into the restaurant at 17-years-old with help from a cousin and never looked back. 'I realized, if I walked through these doors, I could walk through any door,' he previouly told Daily Mail. Demand grew so much that DiMaggio launched his own business based on insider connections and impossible bookings. 'The whole reservation thing is a science,' he said. 'People want what they can't have. [Restaurants] want you to want it more and be frustrated that you can't secure a reservation.'

Jodie Turner-Smith shows off her cool sense of style for day out with best friend Nancy Gomez
Jodie Turner-Smith showcased her sense of style as she headed out in Manhattan with her best friend Nancy Gomez on Friday. The actress, 38, put on a leggy display in a pair of distressed denim shorts and a fitted T-shirt. She paired the look with ballet pumps and a large Burberry shoulder bag. Meanwhile, photographer Nancy cut an equally casual figure in an oversized blazer, a baseball cap and shades. Their outing comes amid Jodie's bitter custody battle with her ex-husband Joshua Jackson, 46, over their five-year-old daughter Juno. Relations between the pair took a further downward turn earlier this month when she appeared to compare him to a Disney villain. Jodie and the Dawson's Creek star split in October 2023 citing 'irreconcilable differences' reportedly caused by their busy work schedules. Joshua filed a motion and request for an emergency custody order modification, according to court documents obtained by E! News. In the motion, filed on May 30, he claimed Jodie changed their five-year-old daughter's school for kindergarten without his permission. He claimed she selected a school that was outside of the 45-minute commute time from his home that they had previously agreed upon. He requested that Juno remains at her current school where she is 'flourishing' and is seeking joint consent with her ex-wife over any decisions regarding her education.

We bought an abandoned Italian mansion for half of the asking price, it looks like a palace but there's a major downside
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A COUPLE shared a glimpse into the abandoned Italian mansion they purchased for less than half the asking price. And while the stunning property was definitely a steal, they revealed one major downside to their plans. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 TikTok user Jordan Kamelleri showed his followers the Italian mansion he purchased with his partner Credit: Tiktok/@jordankamelleri TikTok user Jordan Kamelleri (@jordankamelleri) and his partner Emmanuele are no strangers to rennovating old buildings and transforming them into high-end properties. Their latest purchase is an "abandoned Italian palace" which hasn't been inhabited in 40 years. The couple have been documenting their rennovation work on the 14-bedroom space, amassing eight million views on one of their clips. "When I was younger, I would have dreamed of a place like this," Jordan told his followers, revealing that features such as the property's armoury immediately sold him. Now, the pair plan to convert the 16th-century Italian palace into a private residence, reports People. They have been working to renovate various properties together since 2018, eventually leading them to their most restoration yet. Their new estate was built sometime in the 1500s and has over 21,500 square feet of living space. With years of experience navigating Italy's real estate market, the couple were able to negotiate the purchase price down to roughly half the original listing. They revealed that they ultimately paid the equivalent of £557,000 for the property, plus additional fees and taxes. The pair are now focused on clearing out the vast spaces and salvaging what they can. Inside Ireland's 'magical' Disney castle with fairytale tower on sale for €7.5MILLION and it's minutes from the beach However, the long-abandoned property comes with one major drawback. They revealed that they have had to deal with "decades of decay" in their efforts to do up the space. But there are significantly more pros than cons with this property, as well as being a steal with magnificent views of the Italian countryside, it remarkably also has functional plumbing. While the current plan is to convert the space into a private property, the couple are remaining flexible and allowing for the possibility of opening one wing to guests as a vacation rental. They added that they are also considering opening parts of the palace for events such as weddings. 5 Tips to Get on The Property Ladder Saving for your first property is tough, but it is possible. Here are a few steps for first-time buyers. 1. Cut back on luxuries and start saving Consistent monthly saving is the best way to accumulate enough money to get on the ladder, for a deposit and purchase fees. To do this, you need to take a look at your monthly outgoings and think about what can be cut out - holidays, new clothes, weekly takeaway. Using a savings calculator can help you to establish how long you will need to save for a deposit. Based on your income, you can figure out a realistic amount to save each month. 2. Have a realistic property search Set a budget for the property price you would like to buy, and think realistically about the location and size of your property. While we all may want that house with a view or extra bedroom, can you afford it? 3. Research Help To Buy and Shared Ownership schemes The government has introduced a few ways to help first-time-buyers get on the property ladder and they're great for those on lower incomes or to buy a property in more expensive areas like London. 4. Consider buying with another person Investing with somebody else you know is a sure way to get onto the property ladder. You only need to save half the amount you would otherwise, so you can work towards getting your property sooner. You can invest with a friend, family or partner. Naturally, it is a big step and a huge commitment so be open and honest about what you expect from living together — if you haven't already. 5. Talk to a mortgage broker and get your documents in order A mortgage broker can tell you exactly how much you can borrow for a mortgage, what you will need to pay monthly and in upfront costs. The vast property has an array of indoor-outdoor spaces, a favourite feature for the couple. These include several verandas, loggias, and panoramic atriums offering exposure to the Italian sun throughout the day. TikTok users shared their thoughts on the stunning property in the comments section. "This has SO MUCH potential as not only a home but also a wedding venue," wrote one viewer. "I've never been so jealous in my entire life," said another impressed follower. "People are really out there living my dream," commented a third person.
