In June, Delfina took to social media to share a picture of herself and Meghan watching their husbands play polo - Harry joined Nacho's Californian polo team Los Padres in May - and captioned the post by referencing her nickname for the former actress and Harry, revealing that she calls them 'M' and 'H'.

The podcast has been well received worldwide and will follow Meghan as she "investigates the labels that try to hold women back".
The first episode featured an interview with Serena Williams, and the two ladies discussed their pregnancies, motherhood, and the stereotypes that women face.
They also spoke about the double standards women experience when they are labelled as "ambitious" – and how it has impacted their own lives.
