Meghan Markle Announces New Podcast Nearly 2 Years After Ending Spotify Deal

On Some of Her Favorite Things

While the series showcases Meghan’s love of hosting, cooking, gardening and decorating, she also sheds light on some of her other interests.

For instance, in one episode, she hosts a game night for her friends.

“We have all started to learn mahjong together in the past few months,” she said. “Mahjong started in China in the 1800s, and we play a version called American mahjong. What I’ve come to really love about mahjong, the game itself is really fun, but what was so great was the idea of learning something new with your friends together and then recognizing that the mahjong becomes the background of the expansion of friendship.”

In another episode, her friend, Tatcha founder Vicky Tsai, said Meghan also likes pickleball while the duchess herself revealed some of her favorite genres of music.

“I listen to a lot of ’70s soft rock and a lot of yacht rock and a lot of Soul,” Meghan said in episode five, “and then French dinner party music.”

And when it come to food, she said she has a “very, very high tolerance” for spice.

“Even at a young age, we didn’t have a lot, but we traveled,” she said. “My mom was a travel agent. We would just try so many different flavors and different places. My mom would make gumbo, and Soul food has a lot of flavor and a lot of kick to it. I crave that, and I always gravitate to that level of heat. So I am ushering my family into my palate, but I love it.”
