Meghan Markle is being honored for her chart-topping podcast, Archetypes.
On March 30, the Gracie Awards announced that the Duchess of Sussex was named top Entertainment Podcast Host for her work on the show. The Gracies “recognize exemplary programming created by women, for women, and about women in all facets of media and entertainment.”
Per a release on her nonprofit Archewell’s website, the award “honors outstanding original content that both entertains and informs in a highly engaging and authentic manner.”

In the premiere episode, Markle speaks to Williams about living with pain and recalls a frightening moment she had with her son, Prince Archie. In another episode, she dissects the “angry black woman” cliché with guests Issa Rae and Ziwe. Later in the season, she speaks with activist Jameela Jamil about coping with violent criticism and fighting for what’s right. In her season finale, Markle chats with Trevor Noah, Judd Apatow, and Andy cohen about some of the ways her husband, Prince Harry, is breaking down stereotypes for their son.
