UPDATED AUGUST 9, 2019 6:05 PM EDT

Meghan Markle and Jameela Jamil have an inside joke. The Good Place actress was featured by the Duchess of Sussex in the upcoming September issue of British Vogue. Jameela shared that although she didn’t meet the royal – who was the guest editor for the edition – she called her “warm, kind and actually very LOLs.” Initially, the 33-year-old actress didn’t know how the Duchess would feel about her. Jameela’s character Tahani claimed in one episode that she was responsible for setting up Prince Harry and Meghan on the iconic blind date. “She said she loved the Good Place,” Jameela told Grazia. “Then I felt immediately embarrassed that she had seen me joke about her on the show.”
