The empire of Meghan Markle stands tall, with all the latest projects successfully rolling out lately. She made a comeback to the small screen while turning her lifestyle dream into reality. Her show premiered on March 4, while her brand As Ever is also days away from launch. Amid this, Meghan re-enters the podcast space but isn’t the only one ready to conquer the audio format. Who is giving her competition?
Meghan Markle: Meghan Faces Podcast Competition
Meghan Markle recently got spotlighted for the Netflix series With Love, Meghan. The streaming giant has greenlit the show for another season because this domestic royal narrative has it all. Additionally, the Duchess brought fans into her kitchen, cooking spaghetti and honey lemon cake with Hollywood A-listers.
These include American comedian/actress Mindy Kaling and Markle’s longtime makeup artist, Daniel Martin. Whether people liked or mocked her tea-making method by sun drying it, the show got traction. But that wasn’t enough for the Duchess to switch to audio with another brainchild.
Furthermore, Meghan discusses the struggles of successful women in her podcast Confessions of a Female Founder dropping on April 8. Mind you, she debuted the podcasting space with Archetypes last year, which fizzled out after just one season. But guess what? Prince Harry’s ex, Cressida Bonas, is about to challenge Markle with her own show, Lessons From Our Mothers.
Prince Harry’s Ex Brings Star Power
Interestingly, the series will hit the screen just before Meghan’s new podcast! Coincidence? Maybe. Moreover, reports suggest that Bonas’ guest list for the show is insane, consisting of high-profile people from different fields. It features Kate Winslet, Giovanna Fletcher, and none other than Princess Eugenie.
Yep, that is Harry’s cousin, who happens to be a dear friend of Cressida. While the project seems promising, it’s the timing that is making people talk. Lessons From Our Mothers, co-hosted with Bonas’ half-sister Isabella Branson, explores motherhood in all its forms. Where did this inspiration come from?
Their mother, British socialite Lady Mary-Gaye, fell ill last year. So, the sisters thought of asking her all the questions they had never thought of before. And just like that, the basis of the podcast came into being. It looks like the ex-Fear Itself podcast host is back in the game, bringing along some serious star power. Get ready for the fierce rivalries! Meanwhile, keep reading Soap Opera daily to stay abreast with Meghan Markle updates. Do you think Meghan needs to feel threatened by Cressida’s new project?
