Meghan Markle has found her way back into the headlines, but this time it’s not about Netflix, critics, or royal drama.
Instead, the Duchess of Sussex is being courted by one of the UK’s most beloved radio stations.
After gushing on her Netflix show With Love, Meghan about how much she missed listening to Magic Radio, the station decided to respond in the most surprising way possible—with a job offer.
A Royal Invitation to DJ
Paul Sylvester, the content director of Magic, revealed during a RadioCentre conference that the team had actually spoken with Meghan’s representatives.
According to him, the invitation is genuine: if Meghan ever wants to swap her streaming contracts for the DJ booth, there’s an open spot waiting for her.
Magic confirmed they’ve extended the offer, though the details of any potential pay remain a mystery.
Of course, whatever the figure might be, it would pale in comparison to her multimillion-dollar media deals in the U.S.
Magic Radio’s Star Power
Owned by Bauer Media, Magic Radio has long been a favorite among UK listeners, with a playlist centered around hits from the 1980s onward.
The station attracts a staggering 3.6 million people every week, making it one of Britain’s biggest radio networks.
A Duchess behind the mic would no doubt add even more shine to its star power.
Netflix Still Standing by Meghan
While the radio world dangles a new opportunity, Meghan’s relationship with Netflix continues to shape her media journey.
Ted Sarandos, the streaming giant’s CEO, recently praised her ability to influence trends and drive sales.
Speaking on the Aspire with Emma Grede podcast, he called her impact “remarkable,” highlighting how items like edible flowers and jam featured in her shows sell out almost instantly thanks to her influence.
A Rocky Road with the Critics
Despite Sarandos’ glowing words, Meghan’s latest project hasn’t had the smoothest ride.
The second season of With Love, Meghan was released last month, but instead of climbing Netflix’s charts, it languished at 136 globally within two weeks.
Critics were far from kind, branding the series “staged, fake, and dull.”
Some went even further, describing Meghan as “needy” and “narcissistic” in her attempt to cement herself as a lifestyle tastemaker.
The Shadow of Past Success
Netflix still points to Harry & Meghan, the couple’s 2022 documentary, as one of its biggest triumphs.
Sarandos reminded listeners that the two-part series was among the most-watched documentaries in Netflix’s history.
That early win, however, is now contrasted with the couple’s newer “first-look” deal with Netflix, which insiders describe as a downgrade compared to their initial $100 million contract.
Balancing Business and Entertainment
For Sarandos, the formula is clear: the Sussexes’ ability to launch successful product ventures depends heavily on keeping their entertainment projects strong.
As he put it, “You can’t have a consumer products business if you don’t have a great entertainment business. That’s got to come first.”
What’s Next for Meghan?
The Duchess may be facing sharp criticism over her current projects, but she’s still in high demand.
With Magic Radio offering her a show, Netflix still praising her influence, and her personal brand fueling product sales, Meghan remains a figure people can’t stop talking about.
Whether she takes up the DJ mic or doubles down on streaming content, one thing is clear: her next move will be closely watched.
