She also questioned why the Duchess has become such a &#8220;polarizing&#8221; and contentious figure.<\/p>\n<p>Chrissy, who previously worked alongside Meghan as a &#8216;briefcase girl&#8217; on Deal or No Deal, has maintained a close relationship with the Duchess. She praised Meghan&#8217;s ability to brush off the criticism directed at her.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>She said: &#8220;I think it&#8217;s cool that [Meghan] is just like, &#8216;Listen, say whatever you want.

The episode showed the two women sharing plenty of laughs together, especially as they made jewelry featuring flowers representing their children&#8217;s birth months.<\/p>\n<p>Some viewers were left fuming by Chrissy&#8217;s inclusion after she previously admitted to sending horrible messages. It had been alleged that Chrissy sent the TV personality Courtney Stodden messages on X urging them to take their own life.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Chrissy issued a statement where she said: &#8220;Not a lot of people are lucky enough to be held accountable for all their past comments in front of the entire world. I&#8217;m mortified and sad at who I used to be.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was an insecure, attention-seeking troll. I am ashamed and completely embarrassed at my behavior but that is nothing compared to how I made Courtney feel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>During the program, Meghan did some crafts with Chrissy to celebrate their children&#8217;s birthdays.<\/p>\n<p>Meghan also discussed her struggles with being away from her kids. In a separate episode, she said, &#8220;I&#8217;ll miss them so much [when they leave home]. You want to be the parent who&#8217;s like Yes, go do it. Go do your thing. Go live that life.
