Mandy remembers ‘generous’ Meghan
Singer-actor Mandy Moore has opened up about her 2006 chance encounter with Meghan Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex, after marrying Prince Harry.
In an interview with a publication, Moore was asked about a group photo that had both her and Markle. Talking about it, Moore explained that the picture was taken back in 2006 when she was shooting for the film License to Wed, which was being produced by Markle’ former husband Trevor Engelson. Moore stressed that Markle, a former cast member of Suits, was a “generous woman”.
She said, “Her ex-husband was a producer on a movie that I worked on, so I met her back in 2006 and spent a lot of time with them, a lot of time with her, and she is a lovely, generous woman.”
The 34-year-old further said, “We spent a lot of time in Jamaica, where some of the movie was shot. We spent quite a bit of time — I think we spent New Year’s with them that year. We spent some time over the summer in the Hamptons with them.”
Moore added that though it was a lifetime ago, she has memories of Markle being “wonderful”.
The singer-actor also gushed about Markle’s reveal that she “really likes” the American comedy series This Is Us, in which Moore starred.
Moore revealed that she learned about Markle being a fan of her show when she congratulated the Duchess on her engagement with Prince Harry.
“She was very kind and said that she really likes This Is
Us. She watches the show, so that was pretty cool. She’s just a normal, regular girl,” said Moore about Markle, who’s now a part of British royalty.
