Meghan Markle mentioned some shows in the finale episode of her Spotify podcast Archetypes. She confronted Andy Cohen about the challenges in booking on Watch What Happens Live and shared her fondness for The Real Housewives reality show.
Meghan Markle Was A Real Housewives Fan Once?
Markle spoke with Trevor Noah, Andy Cohen and Judd Apatow for the finale of her podcast titled Man-ifesting a Cultural Shift. In the episode, Markle admitted that she was once a fan of the huge successful Bravo franchise Real Housewives, which encompasses 57 programs, 11 American installments, 20 international installments and 26 spinoffs, Showbiz CheatSheet reported.
"Well, I will tell you the truth. I stopped watching The Housewives when my life had its own level of drama that I stopped craving," Meghan replied when Cohen asked her if she watched the series. Cohen finished her sentence with "other people's."
Markle said she understood why the series remains a big part of pop culture. She also admitted that her interest peaked when the first installment made its debut featuring women from Orange County.
"I'm from California; at least it felt remotely like a world that I knew but still felt so foreign," she added.
Is Meghan Markle Joining The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills?
Cohen also asked Markle about the rumors that she would be joining the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Rumors sparked she would be part of the show after she and Prince Harry moved to California.
"I never heard that!" Markle said.
"She has a full plate! She's Meghan Markle! Have you never heard that? Good. I never even tried to stoke the fire because I was like, 'Folks, that's not happening.'" Cohen replied.
Markle playfully replied, "You mean that this is my audition for Real Housewives of Montecito? Is this the moment?" Cohen joked she wouldn't have to audition. However, Markle shut down the rumors and clarified that she would not appear on any of the franchise shows.
Meghan Markle Confronts Andy Cohen About Watch What Happens Live Booking?
In the same episode, Markle also admitted that she was a huge fan of Cohen's Watch What Happens Live and hoped to be booked on the show. When she was on Suits, she tried to appear as a guest star on the talk series but had no luck getting on the hit late-night talk show.
"I was so eager to be on your show because I was such a Housewives fan at the time, and I just couldn't get booked, Andy!" Today reported.
Cohen said not having the Duchess of Sussex as a guest was "the biggest blunder in the 13 years of the show," adding that it would have made a "great story."
