Recalling what happened, she said: “I met a sweet woman in 2009 while working retail, when she purchased a purse from me.

“We got chatting and she mentioned she was an actress currently filming in Vancouver. I didn’t think much of it, but asked if I could have her autograph so I could say I had it once she became famous.

“She chuckled and said, ‘yes, of course’.

“I wished her luck and never saw her again. Two years later, I flipped on my TV to see her starring in Suits. I was really happy that her dreams came true.

“And just when I thought being on a successful TV show was cool, she then ended up marrying into one of the most famous families in the world, become the Duchess of Sussex.

“I’ll treasure that note forever.”

Meghan’s life changed forever when she began dating Prince Harry in 2016.

Fast-forward to 2021 and the couple are married and have a son, named Archie, and a second baby on the way.
