Meghan Markle recently expressed her affection for the U.K. radio station “Magic” and its throwback playlists. As a result, the station is reportedly eager to have her join as a host.
This announcement follows comments from Prince Harry, who sparked rumors about a possible return to the U.K. during a chat with Joss Stone at the WellChild Awards.
Friends of the couple share that Harry wishes to reconnect his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, with their U.K. heritage, but security concerns complicate these plans.
Magical Opportunity for Meghan Markle: Host Her Own Show
In the second season of her Netflix series “With Love, Meghan,” she candidly shared her longing for the cozy vibes that come with listening to “Magic” while living in Britain.
The station, famous for airing “The Best Variety from the ’80s to Now,” quickly capitalized on her interest.
At the Radiocentre’s Tuning In conference, Magic’s Content Director, Paul Sylvester, seized the opportunity to extend an invitation. “The offer is on the table: if the Duchess wants to host a show, she’s very welcome,” he stated and later confirmed on X.
Meghan hasn’t given a response yet, but fans can already glimpse how her show might feel based on her earlier interactions in the series.
When co-star France playfully called her favorite station a “grandma station,” she graciously chuckled, stating she would “be that grandma.” Meghan also mentioned, “My favorite station in my car is called Mom Jeans. It brings back great sing-alongs you forget exist, and I love it!”
Nostalgia Unites the Family
She humorously revealed that their family car rides were previously filled with “all Kidz Bop, all the time,” but things have switched up recently. “Now, even Lili will ask, ‘Can we listen to Mom Jeans?’ And I’m like, ‘It’s Mom Jeans, but yes, absolutely!” Meghan revealed.
Her love for nostalgic tunes was also a part of the production of “With Love, Meghan.” On September 1, she shared a peek into her favorite playlist on Instagram, which helped maintain the fun atmosphere during filming.
“Filming season two of ‘With Love, Meghan’ was a blast! One way we kept the vibe lively? With music. Between setups, I’d play my favorite tracks. Here are some faves to add to your playlist—press shuffle and enjoy!” she wrote.
Harry Hints at Desire to Return to the U.K.
In the meantime, Prince Harry might have hinted at the idea of spending more time in Britain at the recent WellChild Awards in London. Harry chatted amiably with singer Joss Stone, who recently returned to the U.K.
Stone shared with Hello! Magazine that Harry nostalgically mentioned the “wonderful” schools and stressed the importance of community for kids. She helped him see why they chose to go back home.
Joss, raising four kids with husband Cody DaLuz, revealed their decision aimed to provide a “safe environment surrounded by family and friends.” She noted that Harry seemed genuinely open about their experience returning home.
“He asked how we were settling back in and was warm and down-to-earth as always. Maybe Harry is waiting for the right time to come back, too?”, she said.
Hopes for Family Return Amid Security Concerns
Insiders close to Prince Harry have shared that he is eager to spend more time back in the U.K. and hopes to give his family a taste of his roots.
Sources told The Sunday Times that he hopes to “bring his family back to the U.K.” and allow Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to see their father’s childhood home.
“He hasn’t lost hope for bringing his family back to the U.K.,« one friend explained. “He wants the kids to connect with their roots and discover their family history. He genuinely wishes to return to the U.K. much more often.”
Prince Harry’s Conflicted Feelings About Home
Harry himself has openly expressed his yearning for home. Back in May, during an interview with the BBC, he discussed how much he desired to come back but acknowledged that the ongoing security issues complicate bringing Meghan and the kids with him.
He stated, “I can’t foresee a situation where I would bring my wife and children back to the U.K. at this moment. They will miss out on many experiences. I truly miss my home.”
