Overview
- Earlier this month Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, marked her and Prince Harry’s eighth wedding anniversary by posting two carousels of previously unseen wedding photos and an Instagram Story set to Paula Abdul’s 1989 song “Forever Your Girl.”
- Paula Abdul told People she was “tearful,” said she “pinched myself,” and called the moment “awesome” after seeing Meghan’s Story.
- Abdul reshared Meghan’s Story to her own Instagram, posted a congratulatory message, and said she messaged the duchess directly, telling E! News she was “in shock” and “so touched.”
- Abdul and the reports link the song’s recent revival to its use in the film People We Meet on Vacation and to a wave of TikTok clips that brought the track back into public view.
- The exchange has been treated as a light human‑interest moment across outlets and has put fresh attention on Abdul’s catalog, a development that could translate into increased streaming and cultural visibility for the song.
