In the great cultural conversation, they had some intellectual exchanges about their main agenda. In fact, they also discussed the great influential shows that these brilliant men have been hosting. Speaking of which, Andy Cohen of Bravo TV, asked the host of Archetypes if she still watched The Real Housewives. Answering the “million dollar question,” Markle replied, “I stopped watching The Housewives…” She then continued to reason it out, stating her life “had its own level of drama” and that she stopped craving other people’s. 

Further describing her feelings towards the show, Markle stated Cohen began with Orange County. And given the fact that she hails from California, it felt remotely like a world that she knew. Nevertheless, “it still felt so foreign,” stated the former American actress. The TV series which premiered in 2006 had become a huge part of pop culture. In fact, it is still believed to be one of Bravo’s most popular franchises.
