Meghan Markle is celebrating the launch of her new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. In honor of the show dropping on Netflix on March 4, the Duchess of Sussex decided to surprise some of her most dedicated fans.

In a series of Instagram Stories, Meghan revealed that she was dropping in on a screening of the show being held in New York City on March 3 for The Tig followers. While Meghan shuttered her lifestyle site upon joining the Royal Family, she made sure to honor all of her earliest fans at the special event.

"Okay, we have a big surprise in store for girls who have been following The Tig and everything else for so long," Meghan explained in an Instagram Story. "They don't know I'm coming," she said, before entering the screening room to the surprise of all attendees.

In a series of photos and video clips, Meghan could be seen greeting her fans, including those who have been following the duchess's career from the very beginning. "The girls that have been supporting me for nearly a decade!" she captioned one snap.
