This interaction comes amidst Meghan Markle’s own developments, including the approval of her trademark request for The Tig, signaling a potential revival of her lifestyle blog. Gwyneth was also among the first to offer well-wishes to the Princess earlier in March when she publicly revealed her cancer treatment.

In a separate statement, the Princess of Wales expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support during her treatment, acknowledging the challenges of chemotherapy and emphasizing the importance of patience and resilience.

Meanwhile, Meghan Markle continued her gestures of support, sending a gift package from her American Riviera Orchard brand to polo player Nacho Figueras just ahead of significant public appearances by the Royal Family.
