Meghan Markle has just two words for a podcaster who said she was “scared” for her—don’t be.

The Duchess-turned-Netflix-star recently dropped her new lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, and it’s already making waves. The show, which premiered earlier this month, quickly landed in Netflix’s Top 10 and has already been renewed for a second season. But before all the buzz, Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast host Amanda Hirsch shared her concerns on social media about how the show would be received. And, well, Meghan responded—in the most Meghan way possible.

Instead of firing off a casual DM or comment, Meghan went old-school and sent a handwritten letter. And yes, it was in that signature calligraphy of hers. Hirsch posted about the unexpected response on March 19, sharing two pics: one of her original Instagram comment—"You guys I’m scared for Meghan"—and another of Meghan’s actual note. The Suits alum kept it short and sweet, writing,"Dear Amanda, I heard you were feeling scared. Don't be! This is the fun part — let's enjoy it."

Hirsch captioned the post, "OH MY DUTCHESS," and later took to her Instagram Stories to fully process the moment.

"Like, obviously framing this," she wrote. "Beyond shook. Beyond spiraling. Did I smell the paper? Yes! Do I want my own monogram? Yes. Am I absolutely flabbergasted and obsessed? F---. YES."

As for With Love, Meghan, all eight episodes dropped on March 4. The series was originally set for a January release but was delayed due to the California wildfires. Just three days after its debut Netflix confirmed season two, which has already wrapped filming and is set to premiere in Fall 2025.

The show features some of Meghan’s closest friends, including makeup artist Daniel Martin, photographer Delfina Blaquier (aka the wife of polo star Nacho Figueras) and actress Mindy Kaling. Oh, and let’s not forget the culinary royalty—chefs Roy Choi, Ramon Velazquez and Alice Waters also make an appearance.

Safe to say, Meghan isn’t sweating the critics—she’s too busy thriving.
