Meghan Markle’s latest podcast episode caught an awkward exchange with a guest who had forgotten meeting her – twice.
The Duchess of Sussex told Andy Cohen - Real Housewives’ producer - that she was “starstruck” when she first met him. However, the talk show host had no recollection of thepair’s meeting, according to the Sun.
The cringe-worthy moment was documented on the latest episode of Meghan’s Archetypes podcast: “Man-ifesting A Cultural Shift”.
When Markle introduced Cohen, she insisted she had previously met the executive producer multiple time when filming Suits.
She said: “I was so eager to be on your show because I was such a Housewives fan at the time and I just couldn’t get booked, Andy.”

He then said: “I had that feeling when basically, we started to kind of forensically, figure out if it was you because we had a sense, we kind of put it together a little.”
“We were like, ‘I think she may be a Housewives fan but even worse.’
“I was like, ‘Oh my God, if it turns out that Meghan Markle, actually expressed an interest to be on Watch What Happens Live?’
“It is now the biggest blunder in the 13 years of the show.”
The Duchess of Sussex then revealed that, while she was a big fan of the show, she would never do reality television.
She joked: “Is this my audition for ‘Real Housewives in Montecito?’”
“You don’t have to audition, we will build a show around you,” replied Cohen.
However, the duchess was quick to shut down the talk show host, saying “No, there will be no reality shows.”

The Archetypes episode comes as a precursor for Meghan and Harry’s amply anticipated docuseries which is said to air in the next few days.
It is assumed that the couple wanted to delay the Netflix series release - which is supposed to be a timeline of their ‘love story’ - to 2023 due to the latest season of The Crown and the backlash it has received.
However, it has been reported that the royals’ show will in fact hit screens this year, premiering on December 8.
