"It's so funny, too, that you keep saying, 'Meghan Markle,'" she told Mindy with a smile. "You know, I'm Sussex now."
The conversation unfolded as the Hollywood actress reminisced about childhood dining habits, joking: "People wouldn't believe that Meghan Markle ate at Jack in the Box."

The Daily Mail shared a clip of this exchange, and Dara Huang, who shares a son with Princess Beatrice's husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, was quick to comment. In response to the video, Dara simply stated: "That was weird."
After the moment went viral, Mindy revealed she was surprised by the strong reaction it caused. Appearing on The View, host Alyssa Farah Griffin brought up the viral scene, asking Mindy what the experience was like for her.

Mindy explained that she hadn't even remembered the moment initially because the filming had taken place nearly nine months ago.
"We were making sandwiches, and then they'll push in on my face on TikTok and they'll be like, 'Look at this emotion you felt,' and I honestly didn't even remember it," she said.
Despite the divisive reaction, Mindy had nothing but praise for Meghan, saying: "I loved my time with Meghan. I'm also like, let her promote her show... It was great and really fascinating seeing the reaction."
