Meghan Markle’s best friend Misha Nonoo has revealed she is receiving lots of help from ‘supportive’ loved-ones to ‘adjust to becoming a working mother’.
The New York-based designer, 33, and her oil heir husband Mikey Hess, 33, announced the birth of their son Leo in late March.
Misha, who is rumoured to have introduced Meghan, 38, and Prince Harry, 35, has now hinted that, like any friend, the Duchess of Sussex has been supporting her through the first few weeks of motherhood.
She told People magazine: ‘I am so lucky to have such supportive family and friends who are helping me adjust to my new role as a ‘Working Mother’.”

It comes after Misha opened up on her Instagram stories about welcoming her first child amid the coronavirus pandemic, saying becoming a new mom during a global health crisis ‘has been a lot to say the least.’
‘Last time you heard from me, I was very pregnant, and I am excited to share that I am now the lucky mother to an adorable, healthy little boy,’ she said, admitting nothing could prepare her for the role of motherhood.
‘But handling that on top of the coronavirus has been a lot to say the least,’ she added. ‘Still, I feel extremely fortunate that my family and my friends are all safe and healthy.’
During her pregnancy, Misha told People, that Meghan had been sharing her advice about becoming a first-time mother.

The designer revealed: ‘As with all friendships, you share lots of tips and everything.’
Her announcement comes less than a year after close friend Meghan gave birth to baby Archie in May.
Misha married her husband Mikey in a ceremony in Rome in September that was attended by Prince Harry, Meghan, Princess Eugenie, 29, and Princess Beatrice, 31 before announcing her pregnancy at the end of the year.
Misha is believed to have been close to Meghan for many years, with the Duchess continuing to support her friend by wearing Misha Nonoo designs over the years.

Meghan donned the famous ‘Boyfriend shirt’ for her first appearance alongside Prince Harry, and also wore another of Misha’s designs for her final day of meetings in the UK before she jetted off to Canada in November.
Misha, who worked with the Duchess on her Smart Works charity line, opened up to FEMAIL earlier this year about her friendship with the royal.
Reflecting on the experience of working together, Misha described Meghan as ‘the ultimate professional’ and very ‘considerate’ of the women the collection was helping.
‘It was such an ideal, incredibly easy collaboration,’ she said. ‘It was, from start to finish, wonderful, thoughtful, considerate, as is she.’
