Her time on Suits might be over, but Meghan Markle’s “real” story is about to be told by the BBC.
A musical-comedy called “The Sixth in Line to be King and I” (gotta love the Brits’ sense of humor), which is a 15-minute radio show about the Duchess of Sussex’s life and role in the royal family, will be broadcast on BBC’s Radio 4 . (Yup, Christmas came early, y’all!)
The piece will be “Rodgers and Hammerstein-inspired,” according to The Telegraph, and “look ahead to what promises to be an exciting 2019 for the happy royal couple as they expect their first child in the spring.”
“The Sixth in Line to be King and I” will air on New Year’s Day on Radio 4, but Kensington Palace was not consulted on the contents of the musical (meaning, take it with a giant grain of salt, people).
Still, move over, Hamilton. The hottest show in town is the life and times of Meghan Markle.
