Megan Markle, the wife of Prince Harry, is reportedly considering a career change to become a talk show host following her appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show.
However, Today presenter Richard Wilkins seemed to throw a subtle jab at the Duchess of Sussex’s potential new venture during The Breakfast Show on Wednesday.
The 67-year-old humorously commented on Megan’s rumored career move, suggesting it might mark the beginning of a new chapter for her.
Speculation about Megan’s interest in television hosting has been fueled by insider reports indicating her enthusiasm after her Ellen show experience.
A source revealed to Heat magazine that Megan found the idea of hosting a talk show appealing, as it would allow her to choose interview subjects she cares about while having fun, ultimately boosting her popularity.
In a recent public appearance, Megan read her children’s book, “The Bench,” on a YouTube channel for kids.
The book, priced at £12.99, explores the bond between father and son from a mother’s perspective and was inspired by a poem she wrote for Prince Harry.
Despite the royal authorship, “The Bench” reportedly sold 3,212 copies in its first week in the UK, trailing behind other popular releases.
During the reading session on the Brightly Storytime channel, Megan exuded elegance with a slick bun hairstyle and adorned in jewelry while seated in her Santa Barbara mansion garden.
The video was shared on a platform managed by Penguin Random House, the publisher of “The Bench,” which also holds a book deal with Prince Harry.
Before joining the royal family, Megan was vocal about female empowerment and education, setting herself apart from traditional royal protocols.
Royal expert Amanda Plattel criticized Megan for her naivety in expecting unrestricted freedom to voice her opinions within the royal family, noting the institution’s historical adherence to neutrality on political matters.
Since stepping back from her royal duties, Megan has embraced advocacy work, recently lobbying US senators for equal paid parental leave across the country.
Despite facing criticism for her outspoken nature, Megan remains steadfast in championing causes close to her heart, emphasizing the humanitarian aspect of her efforts rather than political motivations.
Relationship expert Neil Wilkie suggested that Megan’s assertiveness and outspokenness clashed with the reserved nature of the royal family and courtiers, leading to her being sidelined by both groups.
This isolation has seemingly empowered Megan to reclaim her voice and advocate for issues she believes in, demonstrating her commitment to using her platform for positive change.
