A flight attendant was left starstruck by a handwritten note from Meghan Markle featuring an unexpected hidden message - a shout-out to her brand.
American Airlines cabin crew member Nina Vida couldn't believe her luck when the Duchess of Sussex boarded her flight; the crew wasted no time in welcoming her with a heartfelt note. In a TikTok video that has since gone viral, Nina, who hails from New York, shared the story of how they greeted Meghan with a playful message saying: "It's a pleasure serving you; we love you real bad."
As someone who appreciates the personal touch of a handwritten letter, Meghan penned a response, incorporating her autograph and a nod to her new lifestyle brand, As Ever. She initially named the fledgeling brand American Riviera Orchard, but faced with copyright hurdles, she rebranded.

Despite commonly using private jets for travel, the Royal pair do occasionally fly commercial. The Express reported that Prince Harry took an American Airlines flight to attend King Charles' Coronation in May 2023, reports the Mirror.
While the exact date of Meghan's appearance on American Airlines is unknown, sightings of her in New York were made around the time of the influential Time 100 summit.
In a recent TikTok video, Nina was over the moon as she showed off Meghan's handwritten note, admitting with amusement that the duchess's elegant penmanship was challenging to read. She gushed: "This handwriting is giving rich! It's giving expensive, it's giving princess."
Nina, who enjoys sharing her cabin crew lifestyle on TikTok to over 1K followers, delighted fans with the post about her encounter with Meghan. One viewer praised: "Thank you for sharing - Meghan is awesome!".
Another admirer commented: "She's so sweet and authentic. Meghan is pure elegance and kindness."
A third remarked on the positive encounters people have with Meghan in person: "Ahh lovely story. Always such nice feedback from people who meet her in person. Meghan is a true princess."
One fan was particularly charmed by the note, suggesting: "That note! ! ! Laminate it, frame it, put it in a lock box at the bank! I would cherish it forever!".
Amid the captain's playful criticism of their audacity, Meghan made sure to compliment Nina's nail art. Previously, the stewardess has recounted experiences serving stars like Ariana Grande.
Recently, Meghan took to Instagram to share endearing snapshots for her seventh anniversary with Harry, once again showcasing her exquisite calligraphy skills in the picture captions.

On-screen warnings on Bob Vylan set ‘not good enough' says minister
The BBC is facing questions after rapper Bobby Vylan – of the rap punk duo – led crowds at the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of: 'Free, free Palestine' and: 'Death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)' on Saturday. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said there is 'no excuse' for the chanting, and the corporation said it showed a warning during the set's stream about the 'very strong and discriminatory language'. The Bob Vylan set was shown live on an iPlayer stream. Baroness Jacqui Smith was asked on Times Radio whether she thought the BBC has a bias. She told the station: 'I don't think the BBC has a bias, but I think it made a mistake here. 'It's not good enough simply to say on screen that, you know, 'this is dodgy language'. 'It was far beyond that, and it shouldn't have been broadcast live. And I think it would have been possible for the BBC to stop that.' The education minister also told Sky that she was 'surprised' that the BBC continued broadcasting the set. Bob Vylan's performance on the West Holts Stage on Saturday drew significant criticism (Yui Mok/PA) Over the weekend, the BBC said that viewers would not be able to access the performance on demand. A spokesperson for the broadcaster said: 'Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. 'During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language.' Kneecap also performed on the West Holts Stage on Saturday (Yui Mok/PA) A former BBC editor has said that the broadcaster should have the ability to 'cut the feed' whenever there 'is a hint of hate speech'. Sir Craig Oliver – who also served as director of communications for Lord David Cameron in Downing Street – told Radio 4's Today programme: 'I suspect at next year's Glastonbury there's going to have to be a senior editorial figure who does understand the sensitivities and is going to cut the feed.' Sir Keir Starmer led the criticism from across the political spectrum over the weekend, and also referenced Belfast rap trip Kneecap, who had faced calls to be cut from the festival after a member was charged with a terror offence. The performer led crowds on the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of 'death, death to the IDF' (Yui Mok/PA) Responding to the chants from Bob Vylan, the Prime Minister said: 'There is no excuse for this kind of appalling hate speech. 'I said that Kneecap should not be given a platform and that goes for any other performers making threats or inciting violence. 'The BBC needs to explain how these scenes came to be broadcast.' Bob Vylan, who formed in Ipswich in 2017, have released four albums addressing issues to do with racism, masculinity and class. Bobby Vylan's real name is Pascal Robinson-Foster, 34, according to reports. In a statement posted to Instagram, Vylan said: 'Teaching our children to speak up for the change they want and need is the only way that we make this world a better place. 'As we grow older and our fire starts to possibly dim under the suffocation of adult life and all its responsibilities, it is incredibly important that we encourage and inspire future generations to pick up the torch that was passed to us.'

Brit tourists in Majorca now being sent to ‘dangerous' FAKE BEACHES as protesters ramp-up war on holidaymakers
BRITISH holidaymakers in Majorca are now being sent to "dangerous" fake beaches as the war on tourists intensifies. The "dirty" scam comes as anti-tourism protests ramp up across the country, with raging locals swarming restaurants and occupying beaches. 7 Residents across Europe have protested with signs bearing slogans like 'As you come I have to go' Credit: Reuters 7 Widespread anti-tourism protests have erupted across Spain in the last year Credit: Reuters 7 Police officers have been deployed to manage the protests Credit: AP 7 One protester was recently caught wielding an axe, while others jeered "Tourists go Home". But now, one resident has revealed a new, more insidious tactic being deployed by locals to keep tourists out. Explaining the trick in a video posted online, she said locals are making up names for "secret" coves that are actually "dangerous" parts of the city located miles away from the coast. The strategy, she said, consists of inventing locations that resemble real areas to trick tourists away from popular beaches. She warned: "These are not beaches, they are dangerous places that you should avoid. "If you want to avoid getting scammed, look up the location online before you go. "If you find a lot of information, it's a real beach. If not, avoid going." Some have justified the practice as a means of protecting the island's natural areas and have accused the woman of "discrediting her own land". While others have called the trick "dirty" and argue mass tourism is a systemic problem which needs to be resolved by those in power. The scam comes just a year after locals reportedly put up fake closure signs around beaches and roads to prevent tourists from entering. The separately organised protests, which took place more than 850 miles apart, showed the depth and breadth of the campaigns targeting tourists. A protest group called Caterva was behind the fake beach closures in Manacor in eastern Majorca. The fed-up group put up red tape and signs at several coves saying "Beach Closed". They included the secluded white-sand cove Cala Varques and a "hidden" cove renowned for snorkelling called Cala Petita. Caterva said in a post on X, formerly Twitter: 'New action by Caterva in Manacor. We closed coves for residents' use and rest. Let's change course and prioritise life. "We believe the tourist is part of the machinery and has responsibility for the situation we suffer." 'But the main people responsible are those who own the hotel chains and construction companies and real estate firms. 'They're the ones we should be pointing our fingers at.' It also follows last week's announcement by protest movement, the Majorca Platja Tour, of a planned "beach occupation" later this summer. Brits vow to defy anti-tourism zealots after 1000s of sunbeds across Majorca were scrapped The group said: "Prepare your towels, umbrellas and banners because we will be making a new symbolic occupation on a beach in Mallorca," Anti-tourist demonstrators have already barricaded a beach in Ibiza with boulders. Pere Joan is the spokesperson and organiser for Menys Turisme Més Vida - meaning "Less Tourism, More Life". He previously told the Mirror: "We hope to do the same and occupy the beaches in places that have a mass of tourists." Last year, MTMV massed together up to 40,000 people to stick it to the tourists. The campaigner said: "We are demanding from local government to put restrictions on outsiders buying housing. We want taxes on empty houses. "We want control of illegal Airbnbs. One of our demands is to decrease the number of planes that come to Majorca." They claimed that Brits are the source of their "serious" problems, damaging "quality of life" and fuelling environmental degradation. Pere explained why he felt tourism was at the root of the issue. He said: "The demands of mass tourism mean the consumption of water, energy, food and land, something which limits Majorca. 7 A closure sign put up to discourage tourists 7 People march during a protest against overtourism in the Balearic island of Mallorca Credit: AP 7 This fake sign was seen in a bid to prevent crowded beaches Credit: Solarpix "The other problem is the housing. The prices have increased so much. Many local people leave the city and go to some towns that are cheaper to live and rent." Several protest groups penned an open letter setting out their grievances. The letter read: "ENOUGH! STAY HOME! We do not need more tourists; in fact, you are the source of our problem. "DO NOT COME." It said the problems have been made worse by "greed and avarice" of hoteliers, politicians, real estate investors, and "parasites' of all kinds". But Brits have pushed back - pointing out that the local economy depends on income from the tourism that is being attacked. One Brit who has owned a holiday villa on Mallorca for over 30 years wrote to Majorca Daily Bulletin: "It's sad British people are no longer welcome, even though over the years we've ploughed a lot into the island's economy. "The inhabitants there ought to stop and think what will happen to their economy when people like us stop going?
