With Kate Middleton's "disappearance" in the headlines, we investigate another Princess who absconded: Meghan Markle. But the real question is, who is Meghan? Is she a fearless advocate speaking out against an antiquated institution? Or an opportunist obsessed with managing her public image? Or…both? This week, we’re investigating Meghan’s complicated, layered family drama, from public conflict with her half-sister Samantha to her dad’s staged paparazzi photos. Vanessa gives us the inside scoop based on her reporting on Meghan for Vanity Fair and The Cut. 



A Campside Media & Sony Music Entertainment production.

Inside Meghan Markle’s Media Chess Game

Welcome to Best Friend Energy! Let’s get to know each other, shall we? One of us is Clea, and the other is Joanna. Our friendship and business began with a single text and ended with us organizing celebrity homes, traveling the world and laughing every step of the way. You might know us from the hit Netflix series “Get Organized with The Home Edit” but we've got a lot more to talk about.
 
Real life isn’t always so easy to organize. We get it, we live it, and we want to talk about it. Everyone needs a vent session and we’re ready. Let’s dig in on loud chewers (hard pass), mom-nonsense of the week, what we’re online shopping for at 3am, every travel tribulation and what we’re binge watching. Pop the champagne, open the Twizzlers and join us? Each week we’ll interview our best friends (yes, we have other friends!), answer your questions, and deep dive on all of the everyday annoyances that life has to offer.
 
Best Friend Energy is a Sony Music Entertainment, Hello Sunshine and The Home Edit production
 
Can’t get enough of us and want even more Best Friend Energy? We got you covered! Subscribe to “Best Friend Energy: Unpacked” for additional episodes every week full of our chaotic conversations, unfiltered tangents and all the things we can't stop talking about. The best part? You (yes YOU!) get to join in on the fun via the Best Friend Energy Toll-Free Support Line. (Oh, and btw—as a subscriber, you’ll get all of our episodes, completely ad-free). We can’t wait for you to join us!
