Podcast 161 – King Charles takes the low road, asking Meghan and Harry to vacate Frogmore Cottage

3/2/2023
It has been a while since you have heard from me and that is because after Harry’s PR appearances for his memoir "Spare" he and Meghan have been pretty much out of sight, no doubt still working but keeping a low profile. I was sort of wondering whether I had got to the point of having said everything that I want to say about all things Harry and Meghan then out of the blue we get the shocking news, broken by the UK tabloid the Sun, declaring that King Charles was evicting Harry and Meghan from their UK Frogmore Cottage residence. Well of course I was incensed and so here I am! Show written and produced by Jeanette Songolo.

Podcast 160 – Has there been a falling out between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle & the Royal reporter Omid Scobie?

1/27/2023
People who regularly follow all things Meghan and Harry on social media will be very familiar with the UK journalist Omid Scobie. Since 2018 Scobie’s posts and reporting on the UK Royals made him a go-to person to get the current news. In fact, Scobie often broke exclusive stories on the Sussexes, so much so that it became widely rumoured that he was a close friend of Harry and Meghan. Scobie has recently denied being a close friend. However it is clear his career has benefitted from the illusion of this connection. In recent months, anyone following Scobie’s Twitter account will have noticed that he no longer exclusively breaks stories about Meghan and Harry. I had already started to wonder if there had been a falling out / cooling off between Scobie and Harry & Meghan, then this past week I came across headlines that seemed to reinforce my feelings. Listen to hear my thoughts on this possible break-down in their working relationship. Show written and produced by Jeanette Songolo.

You know how last time I said that we wait and wait for news stories about Meghan and Harry and then a whole slew come along at once.

In part inspired by Meghan’s podcast, Archetypes, she and Harry announced a new partnership, with their Archewell Foundation teaming up with the VING Project. https://vingproject.org/ The VING Project is an American national movement aiming to inspire the next generation of givers.

Podcast 148 – Meghan Markle still has a target on her back in the UK

9/17/2022
Harry and Meghan have been handling unfolding events in the UK with respect, grace and dignity. From what I have observed they haven't put a foot wrong during the period of mourning leading up to the Queen's funeral. They have stayed pretty quiet, trying to keep the focus rightly on the Queen. So, you might think that the UK tabloids and their carnival of Royal experts and the social media trolls would give Meghan and Harry a break. Sadly, the nastiness and abuse has continued unabated . In this podcast I'll give you some examples of what Harry, but more so Meghan has had to endure so far this week.

Podcast 147 – The delight of seeing Prince Harry, Meghan Markle & the Prince & Princess of Wales together

9/10/2022
As I was getting my daily fix of Royal T.V. news following the Queen's passing, I caught sight of William and Kate, now officially known as the Prince and Princess of Wales emerge from their car at Windsor Castle. Then to my delight and to my surprise, I saw Meghan and Harry step out of that same car. I dragged my chair close to the TV screen and for the next hour I was transfixed as I watched the live TV broadcast of the four of them together, side-by-side, as they met and chatted with members of the public at Windsor. Who could have predicted this would happen? Seeing the four back together again, I couldn't help but wonder what might have been and maybe, what could be?

In Episode 2 of Meghan Markle's Archetypes podcast titled "The Duality of Diva" she and Mariah Carey talk, amongst other things, about the word diva - the historical definition and use of the word in the past, then how the word came to be used as a derogatory term against a certain kind of woman.

4/22/2022
During the week of the Invictus Games at the Hague in Holland - Prince Harry did a fair few press interviews to promote the Games. In these interviews Harry, for the most part, kept the topic limited the Games and only answering the odd question about fatherhood and his children. Not so when he sat down with NBC’s Hoda Kotb. This interview did explore Harry's private life. This podcast is an overview of their interview, the reaction to it by the UK press, and my thoughts.
