Meghan Markle today revealed she was a 'huge fan' of the Real Housewives TV series and was starstruck when she twice met its creator Andy Cohen, who squealed with shock as he admitted he had no idea.

The embarrassing moment came as today the former Suits star released the final episode of her Archetypes podcast featuring male guests for the first time after Prince Harry 'suggested' it.

The Duchess of Sussex, 41, who lives in Montecito, California, talked of her love for the Real Houswives franchise with its executive producer Andy Cohen but said she stopped when her own private life became more 'dramatic' - a nod to meeting Harry.

And in an awkward start to the episode, called 'Man-ifesting a Cultural Shift', Meghan says she has met Mr Cohen on several occasions when she was on Suits. But it became clear he had forgotten when he said 'nice to meet you' at the beginning of the interview.

She said: 'I met you before. You'll never remember it'. He replied: 'You're joking', to which Meghan laughed and said: 'Would I joke about that? This is great'. She went on: 'I met you twice. The first one is Suits wasn't even on, yet. And then when we had maybe season two or three, we were in New York'.
