Podcasts & Netflix
Producer, host, author — the documented output, with the numbers flagged.
Archetypes (Spotify, 2022)
Archetypes, hosted by Markle, premiered in August 2022: twelve episodes examining the labels and stereotypes applied to women — “ambition,” “diva,” “bimbo,” and others — through conversations with guests including Serena Williams, Mariah Carey, Mindy Kaling, Constance Wu, Paris Hilton, and Issa Rae. It topped Spotify’s charts on launch and won the 2022 People’s Choice Award for top podcast.
In December 2022 Markle said of making it: “I loved digging my hands into the process, sitting up late at night in bed, working on the writing and creative.” The Spotify partnership ended by mutual agreement in June 2023; no second season was made.
Harry & Meghan (Netflix, 2022)
The six-part docuseries Harry & Meghan, directed by Liz Garbus, was released in two volumes in December 2022 — the couple’s account of their relationship, the royal years, and their departure, in their own words. Netflix reported it as one of its most-watched documentary series; as with all streamer self-reporting, treat the superlative with caution. The series drew both large audiences and sharp critical division.
With Love, Meghan (Netflix, 2025)
Her lifestyle series With Love, Meghan premiered on 4 March 2025 — eight episodes on cooking, hosting, and entertaining from her Montecito home, with celebrity guests. A second season followed later in 2025.
Confessions of a Female Founder (2025)
In April 2025 she launched the podcast Confessions of a Female Founder with Lemonada Media, interviewing women entrepreneurs about building businesses.
The Bench (2021)
Her children’s book The Bench, illustrated by Christian Robinson, was published on 8 June 2021 — a poem about father-son bonds, inspired by Harry and Archie. It was reported to debut at No. 1 on the New York Times children’s picture-book bestseller list.
