The highly anticipated show, which debuts tomorrow, March 4, offers a personal glimpse into Meghan’s world—blending storytelling, style, and heartfelt connections.

The Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram Stories to share behind-the-scenes moments from the special night, posting candid photos and videos of the intimate gathering. Fans were thrilled to see Meghan engaging warmly with guests, reflecting on the inspiration behind The Tig and how its spirit of connection and authenticity lives on in her latest venture.

The Tig lifestyle blog debuted in 2014. The blog was a place to share her favorite food and travel discoveries, along with personal reflections. Meghan shut down the site in 2017 around the time of her engagement to Prince Harry.

Dressed in her signature effortless elegance, Meghan radiated confidence and warmth as she thanked her dedicated supporters for their unwavering encouragement over the years.

This surprise appearance in NYC is yet another example of how she continues to embrace and celebrate the community that has followed her journey from actress to royal to global changemaker.

Meghan even received a special gift of flowers from Harry, Archie and Lili!

More photos from Emily Sorrells @dinosorrells on X from tonight.

Emily had the opportunity to meet Meghan in March 2016 at the BUILD event hosted by AOL, and describes it as the “best day of my life”.

Here’s what Meghan had to say —

“I only know (Emily) through Twitter and I knew she was coming because I saw it on social media,” Markle explains to the host. “She’s going on a trip soon to Costa Rica to do some aid work because she said that my U.N. stuff inspired her.”

“I wrote you a letter, I brought it!” Markle says holding up a small parcel, as the young fan looks on in utter disbelief.

Watch the video clip below with Meghan and Emily.

Daniel Martin, Meghan’s longtime friend and makeup artist, also shared a glimpse of his episode with Meghan on his Instagram.
