Meghan Markle’s Podcast Just Had a Major Win That Proves Her Influence Is Going Strong

For the second week in a row, Meghan Markle‘s new podcast, Archetypes, has risen to the top of Spotify’s charts, ranked No. 1 in five countries including the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, and Australia. Today saw Joe Rogan’s controversial yet extremely popular The Joe Rogan Experience reclaim the top seat in the United States and The Ranveer Show assert itself as No. 1 in India, but prior to the minor shuffle in rankings, Markle had also claimed No. 1 status in those countries as well.

Although she routinely comes under fire from UK media and the royal family itself, Markle’s sensational success within the first two weeks of Archetypes proves the public is interested in the Duchess of Sussex more than ever. Comparisons between Markle and her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, are made frequently as well, as both royal women seem to be adored by the public yet despised by the royal machine and its loyal followers.
