Transcript

00:00I'm Dan Wakeford, the editor-in-chief of Us Weekly.

00:06This week we chose the story of the reinvention of Meghan Markle for one of Us Weekly's covers.

00:12We noticed that after having a lower profile and some self-reflection,

00:16Meghan is returning to the forefront of the zeitgeist.

00:19She's a new Netflix show centered around cooking and entertaining and gardening,

00:23and a new lifestyle line, American Riviera Orchard,

00:27and new campaigns like the Parents Network, which aims to protect kids online.

00:32She's also finding her voice again,

00:34and did an interview recently with CBS News that got a lot of headlines.

00:38So we wanted to look at what's behind this new energy and the reinvention of Meghan Markle

00:43by talking to many sources around her.

00:45What's interesting to me is this is a woman who has been criticized more than anyone

00:50in the public eye in recent years, and she's found the strength and positivity

00:54to return and come back, not let anyone get in the way,

00:58and do what makes her happy, and also do some good for the world.

01:02I think there's a lot to learn from talking to her friends.

01:05It's clear she's letting go of her past and the royal drama.

01:09She protects her peace by putting up boundaries with people like her father.

01:14She's finding joy in her work, being herself, and adopting an attitude of gratefulness.

01:20I think many folks can learn from how she's moved on from difficult times.

01:25There's lots of scoopy news in the story too,

01:27some insight into her and Harry's life with their children,

01:31and the news that early next year is likely when we'll get to watch Meghan's new show,

01:36and it will coincide with her product launch.

01:38So I'm hoping we'll get to taste her jam in the Us Weekly offices early next year.
