Meghan Markle

There's a new four-legged member of the Sussex family!

[Gus, her rescue beagle](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a20776169/meghan-markle-dog-frogmore-house-royal-wedding-reception/), who gained start status himself: he was even rumored to have appeared at Meghan and Harry's wedding reception. The dogs were, in turn moved to shelters and rescue groups, including the Beagle Freedom Project in California, where Meghan and Harry ultimately found Mamma Mia. "She calls on my cell with no Caller ID and says, 'Hey Shannon, this is Meghan.' We talked for 30 minutes, and I thought, 'Is this Megan Fox?'"

In her new podcast Archetypes, Meghan Markle talks with Serena Williams about being from Compton.

[Yellowstone](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/arts-and-culture/g35683521/cast-yellowstone-real-life/) ['s Kevin Costner](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/leisure/arts-and-culture/g35683521/cast-yellowstone-real-life/)—being from Compton is something that shouldn't be surprising. [Meghan's stated goal of her podcast](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a39525846/meghan-markle-archetypes-podcast-spotify/) is to "dissect, explore, and subvert the labels that try to hold women back." As Serena says, "I'm so proud to be from Compton." And I'm so proud to be from Compton, I have to say. [Emily Burack](https://www.emilyburack.com/) (she/her) is the news writer for Town & Country, where she covers entertainment, culture, the royals, and a range of other subjects. "My biggest regret is not making more of a stance earlier on in my relationship with my wife and calling out the racism when I did," he said in The Me You Can't See. In this, they subtly dismiss the Daily Mail for painting being from Compton as a bad thing. As they chat about how they were both the same age growing up in Los Angeles, Meghan tells Serena, "Although, this morning I was saying to Harry, I said, Do you remember, one of those?" Serena then jokes, "I'm the one for the record that grew up in Compton!" When Prince Harry first started dating Meghan Markle, the Daily Mail published a story that said "Harry’s new girl is (almost) straight outta Compton." And I'm like, I'm not from Compton. My mom doesn't live in Compton.

Meghan Markle launched "Archetypes," her first solo podcast for Spotify, wearing a casual white J.Crew tank top in the black-and-white cover art.

Over 4000 beagles were rescued from a breeding facility in Virginia in August. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry adopted one of the dogs.

Speaking to the LA Times, Keith divulged that Harry already seemed attuned to Mamma Mia's needs within moments of meeting her. Mia and her puppies first went to Maryland before coming to California, the outlet also reported. She told the LA Times that the duchess simply identified herself as Meghan, so Keith had no idea she was speaking to a member of the royal family throughout their 30-minute call. The facility was set to be shut down after the Department of Justice accused Envigo RMS of animal cruelty in May. The dogs would have become test subjects for US drug experiments, as [Reuters](https://www.reuters.com/world/us/over-4000-beagles-destined-drug-experiments-finding-new-homes-2022-08-09/) reported. Envigo denied the allegations, but its parent company Inotiv Inc ordered it to shut down in June.

In the first episode of her podcast, Archetypes, Markle shared a story about her son's nursery catching on fire during a royal engagement in South Africa ...

“He was supposed to be sleeping in there.” The couple, she said, had to ignore the incident and go to their next engagement without their son. “We finish the engagement,” she said, “and they say there’s been a fire at the residence. [Karl Stefanovic](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11140333/Today-host-Karl-Stefanovic-LAUGHS-Meghan-Markles-fire-scare-son-Archie.html) actually laughed through the story on-air and said, “So, just to get this right, the baby is, what, not even there? Meanwhile, commenters on TikTok heard this story about a mother fearing for her child’s safety and immediately accused Meghan of lying. “Everyone’s in tears, everyone’s shaken,” she said. (This happened in 2019, before the couple announced they were [stepping down](https://www.thecut.com/2020/03/meghan-markle-prince-harry-endeavour-awards.html) from their roles in the royal family.)

"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are the most loving, sensitive and caring adopters I have ever met!" Animal rights attorney Shannon Keith, who oversees Beagle ...

Doherty invited her to stop by an upcoming adoption event her organization was having at a local pet store. "She calls on my cell with no Caller ID and says, 'Hey Shannon, this is Meghan,' " Keith recalled. We want ones we can help who are older.' " Times that, "The duchess called me personally." "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are the most loving, sensitive and caring adopters I have ever met!" The welfare of animals is, and has always been, our number one priority." However, Keith thought she was speaking with another famous Meghan.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have adopted a 7-year-old beagle named Momma Mia, who was saved from the Envigo research lab with her puppies.

She only discovered the identity of the mystery caller when the royal couple made a low-key, after-hours visit to see the dogs at a San Fernando Valley house. [one of 4,000 beagles seized by authorities](https://nypost.com/2022/08/11/beagles-rescued-from-research-facility-arrive-at-animal-shelters/) last month after the testing lab was shuttered due to numerous animal-welfare violations.

In the first episode of Archetypes, Markle and Williams spent a lot of time discussing ambition. [#archetypes](https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/archetypes/) for [@spotify](https://www.instagram.com/spotify/)!

'I got a game taken away from me and I didn't use a bad word at all,' the 23-time Grand Slam champion said.

“And I really define myself as someone that’s super understanding. “I define myself as I’m Serena. “These human moments behind the scenes, the ones under the surface…they’re everything,” Meghan said. And there’re so many rules of things that they try to tell you not to do.” “So if they want to have these attitudes, I’m all for it. The close friends explore the long-standing idea that women shouldn’t be ambitious, and if they are, they’re instantly called difficult, demanding and of course, a bitch.

A rescued beagle from a Virginia medical facility is now getting the royal treatment.

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex is the keynote speaker during the United Nations Genera The Duke and Duchess, she explained, were looking to adopt dogs who are older and abused or neglected and often overlooked. Keith said that the Duke and Duchess came to the nonprofit organization's Valley Village headquarters on Aug.

"They did that to starve her and her puppies to see the effect of mastitis," Keith added. The Cumberland, Virginia, facility – where dogs were found injured, underfed and sick – was accused of multiple ethics violations from federal agencies.

Meghan Markle and tennis legend Serena Williams spoke about the "double standards" women face in the first episode of Meghan's podcast.

And it became impossible to play because it was like they just kept calling the balls out,” Serena said. “If you are able, please join us and pledge 40 minutes today in service of others in the way that feels right to you. This message to me and my classmates was clear: our futures as young women were limitless. Amongst the most valuable gifts of time is also time spent in service to others knowing that it can contribute to incredible change.” And the latest research shows that fewer women than men will regain work as we recover from the pandemic.” And then what would happen if we asked our friends to do the same?” Hope that’s not reflection of reality!” “It’s probably safe to say into every aspect of my life. “To be honest, that’s a little insulting to poor Archie. With Charles apparently refusing his calls on the lead up to the announcement in 2020. But they only know what they know, or what they’re told.” It was also used by her doting father, King George VI.

Meghan Markle's "Archetypes" podcast has launched with Serena Williams as her first guest. So how does the tennis pro really feel about the duchess?

The retired athlete added, "Her words illustrate the pain and cruelty she's experienced," acknowledging her similar experience as a woman of color in the spotlight. When Williams was shown a shot of her attending Meghan's 2018 wedding to Prince Harry, she gushed, "I love this image, this is at the royal wedding when my friend Meghan married Harry." Moreover, [The Spectator](https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-problem-with-meghan-s-archetypes-podcast) claimed the celebrated athlete barely spoke, with Meghan dominating the conversation. [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11139339/BEL-MOONEY-says-episode-Meghans-Spotify-podcast-sounded-warning-bells-start.html) put it, "This bizarre, saccharine and faintly queasy schmooze-fest between Meghan and 'my dear friend Serena' (as we hear over and over again) tells us next to nothing at all about the making of Serena Williams's towering ambition." The Duchess of Sussex even pointed to how she'd been demonized as a social-climbing gold-digger by the British tabloids after getting together with Prince Harry.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry adopted Momma Mia, a 7-year-old beagle rescued from a Virginia breeding and research facility.

"We were so honored that they have been supporting Beagle Freedom Project and chose to adopt a dog who has been abused." "The duke and duchess of Sussex are the most loving, sensitive and caring adopters I have ever met!" We want ones we can help who are older.'"

Right-wing commentator McCain described Meghan and Prince Harry as "insufferable" before criticizing the lead anecdote of the duchess' "Archetypes" podcast.

[wrote on Twitter](https://twitter.com/courtneypochin/status/1562175766154170368): "I'm sorry but Meghan Markle is a genius for this. A big FU to her haters, but in a very classy and clever way." "Is she planning on inviting anyone who challenges her world view or disagrees with her? But she is very, very proud of herself and is laying out the groundwork that this is a feminist podcast and that she has been bravely calling out sexism in the media from a prepubescent age. "This is a story she has told many times before. "That is something that can be both scary and intimidating for many people. she wrote. "She has a beautiful, soothing, melodic cadence to the way she speaks on the podcast that would work very well for a meditation or relaxation app." "To her credit, she is a great voice actress," she said.

This would make sense; it is the stated purpose of Archetypes after all is to shine a light on “the labels that try to hold women back.” It’s a huge hit, of course, but the fact that she was interviewing Serena Williams is almost completely irrelevant to the listening figures. It’s entirely possible to see a situation where one of the podcast episodes gives an extensive cross-platform plug to her husband’s literary output. This will have come as a great relief to the executives on the other side of the glass at Spotify who paid millions of dollars for her. One thing the palace have been very careful not to do is to cast doubt on or rubbish Meghan’s claim. Indeed, Meghan even went so far as to adopt a snooty British accent when she said she had not been criticized for being ambitious before she met her husband. It has the potential to be even more damaging than the Oprah interview because it is Meghan, in her own words, on her own show, doing exactly what she wants, and the fact is she took the first opportunity to plunge the knife in.

Duncan Larcombe, royal writer and former royal editor of British tabloid the Sun, told The Daily Beast: “This was the opening salvo in Meghan’s 12-week war. But Meghan probably knows that nobody at the palace is going to start accusing her of being a liar , exaggerating things or making things up—especially after a substantial part of her discussion with Serena Williams was devoted to how women are often labeled as hysterical or emotional when a man in the same situation might be called passionate or committed.
