An insider has revealed how Meghan Markle repaid the crew of her Netflix show once it wrapped the first season – and it involved custom gifts.Â
Last week, Meghan’s show about cooking and entertaining at home, called With Love, Meghan, debuted eight episodes on a streaming service. On the show, she invited her well-known friends such as Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer to join her at her home.
On the show, she shows the audience how to make their own treats at home, like beeswax candles and rainbow fruit plates.
In some episodes, you can even see her film crew get involved, like during the fifth episode, where she makes a breakfast sandwich for the cameraman.
And, according to those involved in filming, Markle took care of the crew by providing them with an array of beverages and snacks on set.
According to a crew member interviewed by People, Meghan went above and beyond to make the filming experience special. For instance, there was a coffee cart available in the mornings, and on a particularly hot day, she arranged for a shaved ice truck to be on set for lunch.
The crew member also shared that Meghan once surprised them with a custom-made ice cream cart filled with locally made ice cream. Additionally, she treated them to an acai truck another time. These gestures were a regular occurrence, with Meghan organizing something special for the crew each week, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
And that’s not all, either.

The Duchess even gave them all presents when they wrapped. Â
Markle bought each crew member a pan from the brand Our Place, which retail for over $100, as well as a monogrammed spoon that read, ‘Thank you, crew.’
The anonymous crew member who spoke to the outlet described Markle as ‘warm’ and ‘approachable,’ even asking about their personal lives and tastes in things like cocktails.
‘She was a great hostess,’ the crew member said.
‘Between takes, if something was ready to eat, she’d cut it into bite-sized pieces and serve it to us.’
The crew member also added that those working on the show all felt ‘included’ by the Netflix star, and that overall, it was a ‘unique and refreshing experience.’Â
The show, which has received a fair amount of scrutiny so far from both viewers and critics alike, has already been renewed for a second season at Netflix.
Markle made the announcement via Instagram just a few days after the show premiered, as she shared a video of some different snippets from various episodes.

‘If you’re loving Season 1, just wait until you see the fun we cooked up on Season 2!’ the mom-of-two wrote in the caption.Â
‘Thanks for joining the party, and an endless thanks to the amazing team and crew who helped bring it all to life!’ her message continued, as she tagged the Netflix Instagram account.
At the same time as her Netflix premiere, Markle also revealed some of the products that she will be selling in conjunction wit her new lifestyle brand, As Ever.
Not only does it include pancake mix, but also raspberry spread in ‘keepsake packaging’ and a limited-edition wildflower honey.
