Meghan Markle’s thoughtful present for Tan France during her Netflix cooking show has gone viral as one fan said the negativity toward the royal would “never stick.”<\/p>\n

The Duchess of Sussex gave the Queer Eye<\/em> fashion expert a masala dabba, a traditional Indian spice box, as a gift during filming for With Love, Meghan<\/em>, her lifestyle series.<\/p>\n

A clip of the moment, from the third episode of season two, went newly viral after it was viewed 1.4 million times and liked 206,000 times. An on-screen caption reads: “This is why the hate toward HRH Princess Meghan will never stick.”<\/p>\n

Why It Matters<\/h2>\n

Meghan <\/a>has seen a dramatic decline in her popularity, particularly in the U.K., where data released by pollster YouGov showed she has just reached her lowest-ever ratings<\/a> based on fieldwork done over January 8 and 9. A representative sample of 2,103 U.K. adults showed\u00a019 percent liked her compared with 66 percent who disliked her, giving a net approval rating of minus 47.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, she does still have a fan base though, as the significant engagement with the TikTok<\/a> post illustrates.<\/p>\n

What to Know<\/h2>\n

The post<\/a> begins with France asking “Can I open this?” before unwrapping the present, which was covered in pink and green fabric, tied with a bouquet of flowers in the middle of the knot.<\/p>\n

France then gasped before saying, “It’s a vintage masala dabba,” and leaning in to hug Meghan.<\/p>\n

“I mean, they said you were coming and you love spices and I had this thing that I had bought,” Meghan said. “I also want to be able to share it with someone who would appreciate it.”<\/p>\n

“This is the kind of thing that your parents pass down to you,” France replied. “I’ve never had a masala dabba. Thank you so much. That actually has given me goosebumps. That is so beautiful. I will pass this down to my children, that’s how beautiful that is. Thank you so much.”<\/p>\n

“That is actually the nicest gift you could ever have gotten me,” he added. <\/p>\n

What People Are Saying<\/h2>\n

One reply, liked 26,000 times, read: “I love that she has gifts on hand, waiting for the right person to gift them to.”<\/p>\n

Another, liked 17,000 times, read: “No one can make me hate her.”<\/p>\n

A third fan wrote, “He was genuinely shocked and appreciative,” while a fourth said: “Dad, where did you get this? It was a gift from a Princess!”<\/p>\n
