When King was asked what she brought as a present, she replied, “If I told you, I’d have to kill you because she didn’t open any of the gifts because she wants to do that when she andHarryare back together.”
King shared that with the help of an instructor who taught the guests about flower arrangements, each attendee made a bouquet. The florals were then donated toRepeat Roses, an organization which recycles flowers from events and uses them to cheer up cancer treatment centers, hospice care and similar places where they can bring a little more joy.
“I thought that was a very sweet thing,” King explained. “It just speaks to who [Meghan] is. She’s very kind, she’s very generous and a really, really sweet person.”

New York City-based harpist and singer Erin Hill, who has played with Cyndi Lauper,Kanye Westand Josh Groban, also arrived at the hotel with her harp in tow – and a cotton candy machine was seen being wheeled into the hotel on Wednesday.
“It was a very, very small, private affair and just a very special time for her,” King said.
