It’s been one week since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex officially stepped down from their roles as senior members of the British royal family, but it’s never too early to get nostalgic. Case in point: Meghan Markle’s London-based facialist, Sarah Chapman, penned a heartwarming personal message about the former royal couple.

Chapman posted a photoset of Meghan (looking radiant, we might add) to her company’s Instagram account, @skinesis. “Through my work I am fortunate to meet some incredible, interesting and inspirational people and over the past 2 ½ years I feel honoured to have spent much time with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex,” she wrote.

“With Meghan, what began as a client relationship quickly turned into a dear friendship and she welcomed me into their lives.  I feel very grateful to be a small part of their journey observing the passion for everything they do and compassion for the causes and people they meet, but also to witness the moments other people don’t see.”

Chapman continued to describe the couple and her gratitude in knowing them: “Who they are at home, as parents, as partners, and friends, the kind and very down to earth people they are when no one is watching. Every day we learn something new and I have been taught so much by them, and I always leave our time together feeling fulfilled and inspired to help people in any small ways I can.

She ended the lovely note by wishing Harry, Meghan and baby Archie well in their transition from the Crown and thanked them for all their work.

The family have already relocated to Meghan’s hometown of Los Angeles and are reportedly laying low amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

I am happy to share with fond memories some of these glowing skin moments I helped create for Meghan with our natural approach to beauty and look forward to many more in the future. And to Meghan, Harry and little Archie: sending lots of love and positivity during this transition.  I know there will be so many ways you will continue to touch people’s lives and enable positive change and we can’t wait to see what you do next.  See you soon and thank you for everything you do.
