Meghan Markle has walked away with another award as her podcast series, Confessions of a Female Founder, was recognised with a gold accolade at the 4th Annual Signal Awards.
The Duchess of Sussex was in New York last week with Prince Harry, where the couple were crowned “Humanitarians of the Year”.
The Signal Awards bills itself as recognising podcasts that “define culture” and lead with “charismatic voices”.
Confessions of a Female Founder triumphed in the "Business People & Entrepreneurs Shaping Culture" category whilst simultaneously capturing the "Listener's Choice" honour.

Signal describes the award category as recognising: “Shows devoted to or hosted by notable business leaders and entrepreneurs who have had a unique and outsized impact on culture through their podcast.”
The podcast series, created by Lemonada Media, showcases conversations between Meghan and female business leaders and tycoons discussing their entrepreneurial journeys and obstacles.
Confessions debuted earlier this year and, despite its apparent success, the future of the show remains uncertain.
In June, the duchess confirmed she was putting the podcast on hold to “focus on my business”.

“I love that there's so much excitement and desire for another season, but I need to focus on my business,” she added.
This marks the third podcasting award for the duchess, winning two previous accolades for her former show Archetypes, which examined labels that hold women back.
It won the People’s Choice Award in 2022 and the Gracie Award in 2023.
So far, Meghan has not addressed her latest accolade.
