A podcast where actress Brooke Shields spoke about Meghan Markle was removed just one week after it was released. The episode was part of a show by India Hicks, a close friend of King Charles. It is no longer on Hicks’ website, and the link now shows a “page not found” message.
In the podcast, Shields talked about a women’s event at SXSW in March 2024, led by Katie Couric. The event focused on how women lead in life and on screen. Meghan Markle shared a story about writing a letter at age 11 to a company about a dish soap ad. The ad said only women wash dishes, which Meghan thought was unfair. She wrote to the company, and they changed the ad.
Shields said Meghan’s story felt too serious and perfect. She mentioned Meghan kept talking about being 11 and getting the company to change the ad. Shields felt it was too much for the audience.
To lighten the mood, Shields interrupted Meghan with a joke. She said that when she was 11, she played a character in a movie called Pretty Baby. The audience laughed, and the event became more relaxed.
Meghan has long worked for fairness and helping others. She co-founded Archewell, a group that supports people in need. She also works with organizations that help women find jobs and speaks about issues like health and equality.
The podcast episode is no longer available, and the reason for its removal is unclear. This news comes as Donald Trump serves as the U.S. President on June 11, 2025.
