Prince Harry Just Channeled Meghan Markle in the Most Thoughtful Way

It's no secret that couples tend to rub off on each other. Prince William’s been spotted borrowing Kate Middleton’s parenting moves and Princess Catherine has clearly taken a few style notes from her husband. As for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle? The trend holds true and Harry’s latest move proves it.

On July 19, NYC tattoo artist Joshua Lord, owner of the celeb-favorite East Side Ink, took to Instagram to share a photo of a handwritten letter he received from the Duke of Sussex. Harry had visited the Manhattan parlor back in September 2024 and while he didn’t get inked, the visit was part of a special filming session tied to the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025. A group photo from that day also featured country star Jelly Roll, who headlined the Games' closing ceremony.

The letter, dated October 17, 2024, seemed genuine, thoughtful and a little cheeky. “Dear Josh, thank you so much for your generosity in offering us your space at East Side Ink for filming,” it began. “It was incredibly kind, and I really enjoyed meeting you and learning more about the history of your shop.”

“I also appreciated your artful handling of press questions regarding my visit, it means a lot and I was rather impressed by your skillful dodging! Well done," Harry added. "They’ll be in for a shock when they see the final cut.”

The Duke of Sussex wrapped up by extending a personal invite, “If you’d like to come to Vancouver in February, we’d love to have you! All the best, Harry.”

Sound familiar? That thoughtful handwritten note is very Meghan Markle-coded (a.k.a. it's something she's done numerous times before as well).

Back in March, the Duchess of Sussex made headlines for sending a surprise letter to Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast host Amanda Hirsch after she expressed concern online about Meghan’s Netflix project. Meghan’s response? Short, sweet and reassuring, “Dear Amanda, I heard you were feeling scared. Don’t be! This is the fun part — let’s enjoy it.”

In both cases, it’s a reminder that despite royal titles and global spotlights, a personal note still goes a long way—and it seems Prince Harry may be picking up on one of Meghan’s most charming habits.
