They also sent handwritten letters to each other with Meghan calling Emily 'delightful' and 'inspiring'.
Emily opens up about the whole experience on her blog.
She explains she was a 'walking mound of self-doubt and anxiety' before she met Meghan.
Markle, 'taught [her] the meaning of confidence and gave [her] a new definition of value for [herself].'

They finally met in person when Emily attended her live interview with AOL HQ in New York.
Meghan recognised her immediately and knew she would be coming to the interview.
'I only know her through twitter... She's going on a trip soon to Costa Rica to do some aid work because she said that my UN stuff inspired her.'
'I wrote you a letter. I brought it.'

In her blog she praises the Duchess of Sussex for going 'out of her way to make [Emily] feel more special than [she] ever thought [she] could deserve.'
'Celebrities tend to be idolized and glorified by their fans, leading to disappointment with reality, but this is not the case with Meghan Markle.'
'She is a genuinely caring and wonderful human being who's positive disposition and dedication to helping others makes this world a better place each and every day.'
