Meghan Markle is eager to integrate herself into singer Kelly Clarkson's inner circle, a desire she expressed during a recent appearance on the Kelly Clarkson show.
Meghan's friend Abigail Spencer, accompanied by her fellow "Suits" co-star Donald Faison and their extended family, revealed Meghan's admiration for the singer. According to Spencer, Meghan conveyed her greetings to Clarkson, expressing her love and revealing that she had voted for her during Clarkson's American Idol days.
Clarkson humorously acknowledged Meghan's support, joking about her own journey as the winner of the show's first season in 2002. Spencer further shared that Meghan had recently dined with Michael Bublé, who praised Clarkson as the greatest singer on Earth, prompting Clarkson to modestly deflect the compliment.
This encounter sheds light on Meghan Markle's relentless pursuit to expand her social circle, reaching out to celebrities regardless of their familiarity or interest in her. Her aspirations extend to befriending Taylor Swift, dining with Oprah Winfrey, and making appearances at events such as Harry's Invictus celebration in Canada.
Despite her efforts, Meghan's attempts to forge connections often fall short, highlighting her struggle to accept that she cannot simply leverage her royal status for instant celebrity recognition. Clarkson's limited knowledge of Meghan beyond her marriage to Prince Harry underscores the challenges Meghan faces in her quest for friendship and recognition.
Meghan's endeavors to secure a spot on Kelly Clarkson's podcast reflect her ongoing pursuit of opportunities in the media landscape. However, given Clarkson's apparent lack of familiarity with Meghan and her reserved response, it is uncertain whether Meghan's efforts will bear fruit.
Following the termination of her Spotify contract, Meghan has announced a new partnership with Lemonada Media, a podcast production company co-founded by Jessica Cordova Kramer and Stephanie Wittels Wachs. This venture marks Meghan's return to the podcasting realm after her previous show, "Archetypes," garnered attention for its discussions on gender biases and prejudices faced by women.
Meghan's new podcast faces competition from unexpected quarters, as Queen Camilla recently announced the launch of her own podcast, "The Queen's Reading Room." Aimed at inspiring book lovers and offering insights into literature, Camilla's podcast presents a potential alternative for fans of the royal family who may prefer her offerings over Meghan's. Despite the emergence of rival royal podcasts, there remains space for multiple voices in the podcasting world, catering to diverse interests and preferences among listeners.
