The podcast, which is a solo project under Meghan’s multimillion-dollar content creation deal with the media streaming giant Spotify, has scooped worldwide attention from listeners across a wide and unique range. </p><div><br/></div><p>In Meghan’s Archewell statement, the royalty says, “Thank you to all the supporters and fans of Archetypes who voted for us for this special People’s Choice Award. I loved digging my hands into the process, sitting up late at night in bed, working on the writing and creative. And I loved digging deep into meaningful conversation with my diverse and inspiring guests, laughing and learning with them, and with each of you listening.”</p><div><br/></div><p>Aside from this award, Meghan and her husband <strong>Prince Harry</strong> were recognized, too, for their humanitarian efforts with the Archewell Foundation, which was founded by the Duke and the Duchess themselves. The pair took home the <strong>Robert F. Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award</strong> and was honored as laureates with luminaries like <strong>Bill Russell</strong>, <strong>Brian Moynihan</strong>, <strong>Frank Baker</strong>, <strong>Michael Polsky</strong>, and <strong>President Volodymyr Zelenskyy</strong>. Famed for their stance of stepping down from their royal duties, the two partner together to overthrow racism and oppression.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/bb41c8d4-d136-452d-9465-be5e2dbc316b_meghan markle and prince harry.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Meghan Markle Accepted Podcast And Philanthropy Awards"/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>The couple was also conferred the <strong>President’s Award at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Image Awards</strong> earlier this year. The event acknowledged Prince Harry and Megan Markle for addressing social inequality and injustice. Their public service and philanthropic contributions that they are championing allowed them to qualify for the accolade.</p><div><br/></div><p>Prince Harry and Meghan Markle graced the Ripple of Hope gala last December 6 at the New York Hilton in New York City prior to the launch of their six-part series on <strong>Netflix</strong>. Titled <strong><em>Harry &amp; Meghan</em></strong>, the documentary touches on everything from the duo’s early childhood and years as a couple, their much-scrutinized marriage, royal lives, relationships, and many more. Stinging with juicy and shocking revelations, the offering released the initial half of its installments last December 8.</p><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div class="youtube-iframe"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2rlVhiXlcHU" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><br/><p>Lead photo courtesy of <strong>Spotify</strong><br/></p><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/people/society-personalities/meghan-and-harry-farewell-tour-photos/24158" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Their Goodbye In Photos: Scenes From Harry And Meghan&#x27;s Emotional Exit From Royal Life </a></div>
