If you've watched the trailer for Meghan Markle's new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, as many times as we have, you'll likely have noticed that the Duchess of Sussex's close pal, Mindy Kaling makes an appearance. Remind yourself of the epic trailer below...

Mindy can be seen eating in Meghan's kitchen, and the actress opened up about her time with the royal couple during an interview on the red carpet at the Golden Globes, giving a rare insight into their dynamic – including Prince Harry's kitchen skills and how involved he is with his wife's new venture

Sharing how she came to star in the Netflix lifestyle show, Mindy explained that Meghan had texted her while she was on maternity leave, inviting her to Montecito, where she and Prince Harry live.

Explaining Meghan's impressive talents, Mindy said: "I think of myself as kind of an okay cook and she unsurprisingly blew me out of the water.

"The thing about her recipes is they're really accessible. She has a garden from scratch, which I could never do, and chickens which would probably all die if I tried to take care of them, but other than that, I would say it's very accessible."

Harry and Meghan's kitchen adventures

We know that the kitchen is a special place for Meghan and Harry – it was even the spot where Meghan said she was 'roasting a chicken' at their former home, Nottingham Cottage in Kensington Palace, when Prince Harry proposed.

The Duchess of Sussex has spoken in the past about her love of roast chicken, telling Good Housekeeping back in her Suits days: "There is nothing as delicious (or as impressive) as a perfectly roasted chicken.

"If you have an Ina Garten–level roasted-chicken recipe, it's a game changer. I bring that to dinner parties and make a lot of friends."

We're looking forward to seeing all of the different meals Meghan whips up for her friends in her show – as the trailer mostly focuses on sweet treats as opposed to meats!
