Meghan's note was embellished with her gold royal monogram – a simple cursive 'M' topped by a crown.
"Good afternoon, ladies!" the mom of two wrote. "To each of you and your fearless leader, Shannon, a huge thank you for the work you are doing to keep our kids, families, and communities safe."
She continued, "Please know that while you may feel exhausted by your endless hours of dedication to this cause, I hope you feel energised in knowing that the work you're doing is vital and so deeply appreciated. As a mom, as a friend, thank you so much!"
Meghan's support comes after the podcast host visited the Texas town of Uvalde to pay her respects to the victims of an elementary school shooting that left 19 children and two teachers dead.
