It's the documentary series that has everyone talking and while the entire world knows who Meghan and Harry are, it's likely that you might not recognise everyone who has appeared in Harry & Meghan or at least not quite be able to place them.

That's why we've created this definitive guide to all of Meghan's friends who appear in the show and tell their side of the story.

This is the friend who announced that Meghan ‘had planned her single girl summer’ in 2016 after hearing the Suits had been green-lit for another season and went travelling around Europe.

Not much is known about her relationship with Meghan but it's clear that the pair have been friends for several years.

Lindsay Jill Roth

Lindsay is a TV producer, actress and author of What Pretty Girls Are Made Of who met Meghan when they both studied at Northwestern University. Lindsay has been close friends with Meghan for over 20 years and is always quick to support her.

In March 2021, Lindsay shared a sweet Instagram tribute to her BFF saying, ‘Meg’s M.O. has always been kindness; goodwill runs in her bones. I know this to be true after 22 years of very close friendship. I have seen firsthand how she treats her friends and their families, and her colleagues. 

‘If she’s driving with you in the passenger seat, she will fling her right arm in front of you at the slightest bump in a gesture of love to ensure your safety. If you have a specific goal, she will help you get there, and your passions will become hers on your behalf. If you ever have the pleasure of meeting Meg - and I hope more of you do - you will see the altruistic, magnanimous friend who I am so lucky to have in my corner. 

‘She's funny. Like, laugh out loud funny. And smart. She’s more than just a cover story.’

Accompanying the heartfelt caption was a sweet picture of Meghan serving as maid of honour at Lindsay’s wedding and throwback picture of the two at graduation.

Publicist and agent Jill Smoller likely met Meghan through her friendship with Serena Williams or vice versa since the American sports agent counts the tennis player as one of her clients.

Continuing to break barriers & pave the way for all women everywhere.’

Taking to Instagram with some sweet natural shots of Meghan, Silver Tree wrote, ‘This is Meg. A real person - not a cover story. She is one of my very nearest and dearest. Like all her friends I love her madly.

‘She is the friend who insists on always hearing the details of your life, your day, your kids' life, your kids day, before hers. Always before hers... 

‘The friend who stocks her house full of all your very favourite things when you visit and pretends she already had them - just because she wants the moment to be about you not her. It’s always that way with her friends - us before her.’
