“We were two friends, who at the same time were frustrated because this world of auditions was very complicated, and we said: 'one day it will happen.’ She was also alone like me in this city because her father was far away, and her mother was very busy, ” she recalled.
When asked about the possible reasons for which she chose to opt-out of British royalty, Sandra recognized in her a humble woman who today can’t escape the public eye.
According to Sandra, Meghan missed her daily routine, calm with simple pleasures.
“Look, because she is a very simple girl. She loved to go for a walk, do her yoga, do her shopping, do the things you do in your normal life, you know, so when I saw that, I said: 'I don't know if she’s going to withhold', she’s going to miss her normal way of living, going out to the street to buy and pick her tomatoes, she grew her fruits, her vegetables in her garden, ”she said.
Her son made his film debut
Andrés, Sandra’s four-year-old son, already had his first cameo on the big screen. The boy had a part with his mother in the film Las Píldoras de mi Novio, which she stars alongside Jaime Camil.
