Meghan Markle sends handwritten comeback to podcaster who said she was ‘scared’ for her: ‘Absolutely flabbergasted’

Meghan Markle is showing off her sense of humor.

Two weeks after the debut of “With Love, Meghan” on March 4, the 43-year-old Duchess sent a handwritten note to “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcaster Amanda Hirsch after the host commented that the series’ trailer left her feeling “scared.”

Hirsch, 33, shared a photo of the note from Meghan Wednesday on Instagram.

The influencer included a screenshot of her comment on Meghan’s January 2 Instagram post of the trailer for “With Love, Meghan.” Hirsch wrote, “You guys I’m scared for Meghan.”

In her note, Meghan sought to allay the podcaster’s fears. 

“Dear Amanda, I heard you were feeling scared,” the former “Suits” star began. “Don’t be! This is the fun part — let’s enjoy it,” she added.

Markle signed the note, “As ever, Meghan.” Markle’s new lifestyle brand, which has received backing from “With Love, Meghan” distributor Netflix, is named “As Ever.”  

The missive was penned in the Duchess’s characteristically sharp penmanship — she freelanced as a calligrapher during her days as a struggling actress — on stationery personalized with her monogram, a cursive “M” capped with a crown.

A too-stunned-to-spell-correctly Hirsch captioned the post, “OH MY DUTCHESS.”

In her Instagram Stories, Hirsch expanded upon her reaction to receiving the note. 

“You guys. I just got a letter. And I was like, what is this? What is this? What is this?” she said giddily in a clip, waving the note’s envelope, also emblazoned with Markle’s cipher. Sarcastically, Hirsch added that she “started thinking what it could be. Any guesses?”

Hirsch also explained the meaning of her initial comment, 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?” 

Of her excitement at receiving the note, Hirsch declared, “Meghan now has a new fan for life.”

“Like, obviously framing this,” she continued. “Beyond shook. Beyond spiraling. Did I smell the paper? Yes! Do I want my own monogram? Yes. Am I absolutely flabbergasted and obsessed. F—K. YES.”

“Keep it to ourselves? Couldn’t be us,” she added.
