Meghan Markle is already a podcast host, but could she be heading to the radio next?
After revealing her favorite U.K. radio station during a season two episode of her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex received an offer from one of the company’s executives.
Meghan, 44, shared on the series that one of the things she missed most about living in the U.K. is “the radio station called Magic.” The station’s official website identifies its lineup as “The Best Variety from the ’80s to Now.”
Speaking at Radiocentre’s Tuning In conference on Tuesday, Magic Content Director Paul Sylvester responded to Meghan’s praise by extending a proposal.
“The offer is on the table: if the Duchess wants to host a show, she’s very welcome,” he said.
Sylvester later doubled down on X, writing, “I did say exactly this,” in response to a user quoting him on the offer.
While Meghan has yet to respond, we do have something of an idea about what her potential radio show might sound like. The Duchess wasn’t fazed when France teased her about Magic FM being a “such a grandma station.”
“I’ll be that grandma,” Meghan responded. “My favorite station in my car is called Mom Jeans. These are throwback, great sing-alongs, you forget they existed. I love it.”
She even told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview earlier this year that her kids — Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4 — now share her affinity for the station known for “nonstop vintage soft rock and pop.”
“It used to be all Kidz Bop all the time in the car,” she said. “Now for drop off and pick up, even Lili will say, ‘Can we listen to Mama Jeans?’ I’m like, “It’s Mom Jeans, but yes, we sure can!’ “
Meghan shared a deeper look into her retro music tastes as she celebrated the songs that “kept the vibe alive” on the set of With Love, Meghan in a Sept. 1 Instagram post.
“Filming season two of With Love, Meghan was more fun than you can imagine,” she wrote in the caption. “Part of how we kept the vibe alive? Music. Between setups, I would play a song from my phone, and today I wanted to share some of the favorites I kept on rotation! Add them to your playlist, press shuffle, and enjoy!”
The 19-song playlist is full of classic hits from Ella Fitzgerald, Whitney Houston, James Taylor and more, right in line with Meghan’s throwback tastes.
