Meghan Markle had surprising 'offer on the table' after revealing thing she missed most about UK last year - could it actually happen now?
The Duchess is rumoured to be in talks for a Netflix project but perhaps there could be other job opportunities for her after the move
Of all the things the Duchess of Sussex might've said when asked what she missed about her former home, I don't think many of us predicted her actual answer last year. On season 2 of her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, she chatted to British-born fashion expert Tan France and admitted Magic Radio is "one of the things I miss most about the UK".
Just under a year later, she and Prince Harry are moving back across the pond and Meghan will be able to listen to Magic Radio to her heart's content. Although Tan joked it was a "Grandma station", she owned it, saying "I'll be that Grandma". Her response sparked a big reaction at the time and now she's relocating, I wonder if a surprising "offer" still stands…
The Duchess's comments about missing Magic FM caught the attention of the station and the Content Director, Paul Sylvester, reportedly made her a rather special offer. According to The Telegraph, he told a RadioCentre conference, "We had conversations with the Sussex team and if the Duchess would like to add radio presenter to her CV there is an offer on the table."
Meanwhile, Magic said it had "been in with her team and offered her a show, if she ever wanted one". This never ended up happening and logistically it might've just been too difficult given that she was California-based. However, very soon this won't be an issue.
Prince Harry and Meghan are understood to be moving to the UK this month and Archie and Lilibet have been enrolled in a British school from September. The Sussexes are going through a massive life switch-up and that could affect their careers too.
It's been widely reported that the Duchess of Sussex is in early stage talks to take on a role in Netflix's The Gentleman. This would be her first significant acting role since she married Prince Harry in 2026 and suggests that Meghan is open to different work projects right now.
Perhaps she might be tempted to try her hand at radio presenting? Who knows if the reported Magic FM offer still stands, but the wording of "if she ever wanted one" suggests that the door isn't fully closed. Starting a radio show would be a major move for Meghan but it doesn't sound too out-there.
She's gone on multiple podcasts before and hosted her own, Archetypes, which aired from August to November 2022. The Duchess is confident chatting to listeners and it would be interesting to hear a member of the Royal Family regularly on the radio.
Even if she doesn't take up the offer, she can still enjoy Magic's music at her new home and her and Harry's relocation to the UK has sparked plenty of interest and speculation to be getting on with. For a start, it'll be intriguing to see whether the Sussexes start to attend more family occasions, notably Christmas at Sandringham House, which they haven't been at since 2018.
King Charles is said to have been told about the move on 16th August and welcomes the opportunity to spend more time with Harry, Meghan and their children. The Prince and Princess of Wales haven't commented publicly on the news and are currently up at Balmoral with the King, enjoying the end of the school summer holidays.
