Background on Meghan Markle
Markle, who grew up in Los Angeles, became a member of the British royal family when she married Prince Harry in May 2018.
Their royal duties ended less than two years later when they stepped back from their roles and moved to Montecito, California.
They now live there with their two children: Prince Archie, age 5, and Princess Lilibet, age 3.
Historic voting in the 2020 election
In 2020, Markle made headlines as the first modern royal to vote in an American presidential election.
She had previously announced her intention to vote, emphasizing the importance of having a voice.
She stated, “I know what it’s like to have a voice, and also what it’s like to feel voiceless. I also know that so many men and women have put their lives on the line for us to be heard.
And that opportunity, that fundamental right, is in our ability to exercise our right to vote and to make all of our voices heard.”
Her comments highlighted the significance of voting and the sacrifices made by many for this right.
Markle is considering writing a memoir.
During the podcast, Markle also addressed speculation about her writing a memoir.
She noted that while people might be curious about this, she feels she has “a lot more life to live” before taking that step. This suggests that she is not ready to share her life story just yet.
“I think people are often curious if I’m going to write a memoir, but I’ve got a lot more life to live before I’m there,” she said.
Markle has already written a children’s book titled “The Bench,” which became a New York Times Best Seller in 2021.
When asked if she would write another book, she expressed enthusiasm, saying, “Yes, maybe, for sure.”
She mentioned her interest in topics related to hospitality, home, and food, indicating she could explore these themes in future writing.
“I love, right now, working on everything in this space of hospitality and home and entertaining and food and those sort of tips and something like that I think could be really fun. Of course, children’s books are great,” she added.
