This month might not be in favor of the Sussexes, especially the Duchess, Meghan Markle. However, her unforgettable back-to-back winning streak earlier this year had fetched the world’s attention to the former American actress. Breaching top headlines last year, Markle’s Archetypes podcast on Spotify took the royal fandom by storm on a weekly basis. Every Tuesday came up with some thought-provoking, brilliant topic of discussion with the top-tier guests behind the scene. 

By the end of its journey, Archetypes had already secured the best podcast of 2022 title. However, it was not the podcast but also Markle who named a title of her own. After receiving the honors from the People’s Choice Award, the Duchess bagged the best host of its podcast. The 48th Gracie Awards bestowed the title to Meghan Markle as she spoke a few words at the event. Nonetheless, despite her absence, the Duchess took to the Archewell Foundation to leave a heartfelt acknowledgment.
