Brooke Shields' Podcast on Meghan Markle Was Deleted by King Charles' Goddaughter
Today in awkward news, Brooke Shields' recent podcast episode—where she had a lot to say about Meghan Markle—was surreptitiously deleted from the internet. And please be advised that this wasn't just any podcast. It was hosted by India Hicks, who happens to be the goddaughter of King Charles. I'll give you a moment. Per People, Brooke reflected on a SXSW panel she and Meghan did together back in March 2024, which was called "Breaking Barriers, Shaping Narratives: How Women Lead On and Off the Screen." Apparently, Meghan spoke about writing to Procter & Gamble at age 11 about gender equality—which Brooke found "serious" and "precious." "Katie asks the first question to Meghan and she talks about how at a young age, she was already advocating for women," Brooke said on the podcast. "She starts telling a story about how when she was 11–and she keeps saying, 'Well, when I was 11, I saw this commercial and they were talking about how washing dishes was for women. And she said, 'I didn't think only women wash dishes. It wasn't fair. So I wrote to the company.' She kept saying she was 11! She wrote to the company, they changed the text, they changed the commercial. It was just too precious, and I was like, they're not going to want to sit here for 45 minutes and listen to anybody be precious or serious." I like a totally normal and on-topic story for the event. But Brooke then recalled interrupting Meghan: "I go, 'Excuse me, I'm so sorry, I've got to interrupt you there for one minute.' I was trying not to be rude, but I wanted to be funny because it was so serious. I just want to give everybody here a context as to how we're different. When I was 11, I was playing a prostitute.'" She then claimed their talk became "more relaxed" as a result of the joke. Meanwhile, India doesn't appear to have explained why Brooke's episode was deleted, but People notes that a link to it leads to a "page not found" message.

Brooke Shields' Meghan Markle podcast comments spark debate—then disappear
It's the podcast episode everyone's talking about—but you can't listen to it anymore! Just a week after its release, India Hicks, goddaughter of King Charles, has deleted an episode of her show featuring Brooke Shields, where the Hollywood icon gave some candid feedback about Meghan Markle's storytelling style at a high-profile SXSW the now-vanished episode, Shields recounted her experience sharing the stage with Meghan Markle and Katie Couric at the March 2024 SXSW event, 'Breaking Barriers, Shaping Narratives: How Women Lead On and Off the Screen.' Shields described Markle's retelling of her famous childhood letter-writing campaign against a sexist dish soap commercial as 'too precious' and 'serious,' suggesting the audience needed a lighter touch. 'She kept saying she was 11! She wrote to the company, they changed the text, they changed the commercial. It was just too precious, and I was like, they're not going to want to sit here for 45 minutes and listen to anybody be precious or serious,' Shields said, according to The Independent . Sensing the room's mood, Shields interrupted Markle mid-story with a humorous contrast: 'When I was 11, I was playing a prostitute,' referencing her controversial role in 1978's Pretty Baby . Shields said her quip 'relaxed' the panel and 'the place went insane.' The podcast episode was quickly scrubbed from Hicks' website, with the link now leading to a 'page not found' message. The move has only fueled more chatter about the exchange and the ongoing fascination with Meghan's public persona. Despite the deleted episode, Markle continues her advocacy for social justice and gender equity through her Archewell Foundation and partnerships with organizations like Smart Works, proving that whether you find her 'precious' or powerful, she's not stepping out of the spotlight anytime soon.
