Meghan Markle

This one almost needs no explanation. If you weren’t aware of her television work–the most famous being playing paralegal Rachel Zane on NBC’s “Suits”, it was much harder to ignore her marriage into the British royal family when she wed Prince Harry in 2018. Even harder to ignore was the drama that followed–the rumors of racism and hostility inside the House of Windsor, the public distancing from official royal duties, the Oprah interview, the chilly reception during official mourning after Queen Elizabeth’s death. In the meantime, all the Duchess of Windsor has done is launch one of Spotify’s most popular podcasts and line up an impressive line of media projects that will keep her busy and distracted from her haters for a long time to come. You love to see it.
