On this episode of Recollections May Vary, Kinsey Schofield is joined by Dana Bowling of Daily Dose of Dana to discuss Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s reputation in Hollywood. A former casting director turned pop culture connoisseur, Dana offers fascinating insight into Meghan’s latest entertainment ventures. 

Meghan is making headlines again, but not for the reasons she hoped. Season 2 of With Love, Meghan has been branded “underwhelming,” with insiders saying she failed to land big names like Oprah, Michelle Obama, or the Kardashians. Instead, the lineup features her make-up artist, pilates instructor, and several Netflix-friendly TV chefs. Even Chrissy Teigen’s appearance has stirred controversy given her past online bullying scandal.

To make matters worse, Meghan’s big Netflix moment was overshadowed by Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl announcement, which broke records with 167 million views in 24 hours. Sources say Meghan believed this would be her big comeback, only to have the spotlight stolen.

Plus, we dive into the surprising similarities between Meghan Markle and Blake Lively, from their lifestyle brands (The Tig and Preserve) to their high-profile marriages and carefully controlled media images.
