Duchess’ silence seen as quiet support for the King during a troubled moment for the monarchy
Meghan Markle has stepped back from celebrating a personal milestone as King Charles faces mounting challenges.
Her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, has been nominated in the Business & Culture category at the Signal Awards. The show, produced by Lemonada Media, was recognised alongside other high-profile programmes. Sharing the news on Instagram, the production team wrote:
“We’ve been nominated for THREE @signalawards. Best Host: @hasanminhaj for Hasan Minhaj Doesn’t Know (@HMDK), Business & Culture: Confessions of a Female Founder with @meghan, and Self-Improvement: My So-Called Midlife with @reshmasaujani.”
They went on to thank supporters and encourage fans to cast their votes:
“It’s an honour to be recognised, and now we need your support. Cast your vote and help us take these awards home. Every vote matters.”
While Lemonada celebrated, Meghan remained noticeably quiet. She has not reshared the post or commented on her nomination, leading some to believe her silence is a deliberate show of support for King Charles, who is battling cancer and dealing with growing strain within the royal family.
The monarchy recently suffered another setback after an email from Sarah Ferguson to the late Jeffrey Epstein surfaced, drawing fresh scrutiny. The revelation has put additional pressure on Charles to distance the institution from the York family in an effort to safeguard the monarchy.
In this context, Meghan’s decision to hold back on celebrating her professional recognition is being seen as a thoughtful gesture during a time of difficulty for the King.
