Meghan Markle Surprises Fans with ‘Tig’ Nostalgia at Netflix Screening
In a delightful twist that could only happen in the realm of royal celebrity, Meghan Markle made a surprise appearance at a special screening in New York City on March 3, just one day before the premiere of her Netflix series, *With Love, Meghan*. This event was particularly poignant, as it brought together a devoted group of fans who had followed her since the days of her now-defunct lifestyle blog, *The Tig*.
Sporting her signature charm, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, shared a playful Instagram story just before her entrance, teasing her unsuspecting audience with, “They don’t know I’m coming.” The atmosphere quickly shifted from anticipation to excitement as she walked into the theater, eliciting gasps from her fans. In what can only be described as a heartwarming exchange, the fans reciprocated her surprise by revealing tattoos that read “As ever,” a phrase that now symbolizes her rebranded lifestyle venture, previously known as American Riviera Orchard.
The screening served not only as a celebration of her show but also as a nostalgic nod to the ethos of *The Tig*, which Meghan created in 2014 as a platform for sharing her culinary and travel passions. She had shut it down in 2017 amid her burgeoning relationship with Prince Harry, but the spirit of the blog continues to resonate in her new endeavors. In a recent interview, Meghan reflected on how her fans have lovingly dubbed her Netflix series “Tig TV,” emphasizing that this has always been her true self, now finally able to be shared with the world once more.
*With Love, Meghan* features a star-studded lineup of guests including her *Suits* co-star Abigail Spencer, chef Roy Choi, and even Prince Harry himself. Originally slated for a January release, the show was postponed to March in response to the devastating wildfires in California, a decision Meghan noted was made with the support of Netflix to prioritize those affected.
In addition to her new series, Meghan promises that her rebranded lifestyle brand will continue to offer artisanal delights, including the fruit preserves that made her a culinary darling among A-listers. “Of course, there will be fruit preserves. I think we’re all clear at this point that jam is my jam,” she quipped, ensuring her fans that her creative culinary pursuits will remain front and center.
It’s clear that Meghan Markle is not just a Duchess; she is a multifaceted creator who is eager to reconnect with her audience—one heartfelt surprise at a time.
