The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, made a delightful and unexpected return to her broadcasting roots this week, featuring in a segment on Global's Magic FM.
The surprise appearance occurred during the station's popular 'Throwback Thursday' feature, where listeners are invited to share a song that holds special meaning for them. The Duchess chose to participate, sending in a personal audio message that was played on air.
A Heartfelt Message from the Duchess
In her clip, Meghan's voice was warm and familiar as she introduced her song choice. "My name is Meghan, and the song I'd like to choose is 'This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)' by Natalie Cole," she said. The track is famously featured in the 2015 film 'The Parent Trap', a movie she watched and adored as a child.
She elaborated on her selection, explaining the song's significance extends beyond nostalgia. "I think it's just such a beautiful song, such a great message, and I love the idea of being able to pass that on to our little ones as well."
A Nod to a Royal Connection
The song choice is particularly poignant as it was also played during the evening reception at her spectacular 2018 wedding to Prince Harry at Frogmore House in Windsor. This subtle connection adds a layer of personal history to the request, linking a childhood memory to one of the most significant days of her life.
Magic FM presenter Ronan Keating, who co-hosted the show with Harpz, seemed thrilled to share the royal request with listeners, highlighting the special nature of the contribution.
Sparking Speculation of a Media Return
This radio cameo has inevitably fuelled speculation about a potential return to media for the former Suits actress. Before her royal life, Meghan was well-known for her role as Rachel Zane on the hit USA Network legal drama and ran her own lifestyle blog, The Tig.
Her appearance on a major national radio station, owned by Global which also operates Heart Radio, is seen by many commentators as a tentative step back into the public media sphere. It follows the recent launch of Archewell Productions and their lucrative content deals with streaming giants like Netflix and Spotify.
Whether this is a one-off gesture or a sign of things to come remains to be seen, but for now, Meghan Markle's voice on the radio has certainly captured the public's attention once again.
