Meghan’s love of all things floral, floristry and flower arranging has been prominent as she’s made the shift from royal to lifestyle influencer.

She’s even featured videos on social media as she prepares the perfect bouquet and previously described the activity as “calming and meditative.”

Also earlier this years Iin an episode of her Netflix series With Love, Meghan, the Duchess said, “I learned a lot of this when I was pregnant with my son, Archie. My girlfriends threw a baby shower for me, and one of the things we did was learn flower arranging.

“I started to find this really calming and meditative, so when I have a little bit of time at the end of the day, I do this. I have a glass of wine and just enjoy it.”

Now a floristry expert has praised the Duchess as they explain that the Suits actress’ favourite activity comes with huge mental health benefits as well as being a mood booster.

Deirdre Sullivan, Kay’s Flowers, said: “She’s beautifully demonstrating what we’ve always believed: you don’t need to be a professional to harness the profound benefits of fresh flowers in your home.

“Meghan’s personal approach truly highlights how easy and accessible this calming practice can be for everyone. It’s all about the wonderful tactile experience – the simple joy of touching soft petals, and immersing yourself in the vibrant colours and natural scents. This isn’t just about creating a pretty display; it’s a mindful, hands-on activity that genuinely helps to soothe the mind and reduce stress and anxiety.”

They added, “We’ve seen this countless times in our training, how interacting with flowers provides a unique, meditative escape from daily pressures. Science backs this up too: having fresh flowers in your living space is proven to uplift spirits and enhance overall emotional well-being and positive attitude.”

Added benefits aren’t just limited to mental health but also for, they stressed, “Meghan’s example is a powerful reminder that by simply engaging with nature’s beauty, you can cultivate a happier, more peaceful home, and a healthier, more joyful you.”
