Ever since Meghan Markle tied the knot with Prince Harry, their respective worlds have come at a merge on multiple fronts. From closely assisting philanthropic endeavors hand-in-hand to winning each other’s side of friends circle, their bond has grown ever more each passing day. And though their attendance at any event typically excites enthusiasts, the recent polo charity match saw fans particularly and surprisingly swooning over another attendee, Delfina Figueras, who is being unofficially regarded as the Duchess's sister-in-law by them.

With discussions and labels abounding far and wide, it is natural for curiosity to cloud understanding regarding the genuine origins of their connection. Thus, here is an introduction to Delfina Figueras and her history with Markle.

Besides sending fans on a meltdown with their public kiss at this year’s polo charity match, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry grabbed attention due to another attendee, Delfina Figueras. With pictures swarming all over the Internet from their appearances together, fans have now dubbed Figueras as the Duchess’ sister-in-law. However, the question that lingers is whether the two are related by blood or by Markle’s marital ties and the answer is none. Figueras, in reality, is Prince Harry’s polo pal, Nacho Figueras’ wife.

Professionally, she is an Argentine socialite, photographer, fashion business woman and a former athlete. For further context, Nacho Figueras’ friendship with the Prince dates back to 2007 when they first met at a polo match in England. Hence, when the Duke and Duchess got married, their brotherhood made way for both their wives to craft a bond of sisterhood. Not only on the lips, but previously in 2022, Figueras literally penned a message to Markle, remarking her as her “sister” and “fellow pwife”, meaning her polo wife.

The royal fans, who have closely watched the two’s friendship grow every year were straight up in awe as for them, Delfina Figueras exerts the proper sister-in-law energy to Markle, even without a familial bond. 

Over the years, much like the Duke and the polo star Nacho Figueras, whose bond evolved into a brotherly relationship, the connection between Delfina Figueras and Meghan Markle has also blossomed into that of sisters. However, considering the initial ties between the Prince and Nacho Figueras, fans have sensed a genuine sister-in-law dynamic with the polo player's wife, particularly evident in her affection for the Duchess during the polo match.

Many fans feel that Markle "deserves" this sisterly affection. Hence, they even expressed gratitude towards the socialite for embodying it. 

Given their husbands' long-standing brotherhood, fans further believe that the care shared between Markle and Figueras is rooted in that bond. Furthermore, as two prominent figures advocating for women's issues, their collaborative efforts hold the potential to enact significant change in the world. Therefore, it is fair to say that the Duchess has indeed found a home away from home, thanks in large part to Delfina Figueras.
