King Charles gives new tension to Meghan Markle with a delightful win
King Charles has achieved a significant milestone with his latest media venture, creating strong competition for Meghan Markle following her surprise announcement about her new podcast series.
The monarch recently partnered with Apple Music to launch a radio show titled The King’s Music Room, in celebration of Commonwealth Day. Recorded at Buckingham Palace, the program aims to highlight legendary musicians from across Commonwealth nations.
The show, released on March 10, features King Charles personally curating a selection of songs that have brought him joy over the years. Additionally, the monarch “provides anecdotes of his personal experiences when explaining why each song was chosen.”
Notably, The King’s Music Room quickly climbed to the number one position on Apple Music’s UK ‘Top Music Podcasts’ chart, signaling a major success for the royal initiative. The achievement comes at a pivotal time for Meghan Markle, whose own upcoming podcast will now face heightened expectations.
The Duchess of Sussex recently announced her latest media project, Confessions of a Female Founder, in partnership with Lemonade Media. The podcast is set to focus on the inspiring journeys of female entrepreneurs, aiming to spotlight their challenges and triumphs.
Taking to Instagram, Meghan unveiled a striking promotional poster for the show, featuring herself prominently. She expressed her excitement about sharing the stories of women who have built businesses and made an impact in their industries.
With Confessions of a Female Founder scheduled to release its first episode on April 8, the Duchess now faces the added challenge of living up to the high bar set by King Charles’ unexpected podcast success.
While both ventures cater to different audiences, the timing of their launches has created an intriguing dynamic between the royal family and Meghan’s independent media efforts. As anticipation builds for her upcoming series, royal watchers and media enthusiasts alike will be keeping a close eye on whether her podcast can match the impressive performance of The King’s Music Room.
