In a recent episode of her latest podcast “Archetypes,” Canadian actress and wife of Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, lauded Sophie Gregoire Trudeau as a “dear friend” and life counsellor. 

Throughout the episode, the celebrity-turned-Royal-Family-member had only praise for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s wife. 

“I’ve gone to her over the years for advice,” said Markle before recalling a pool party together. 

“This wasn’t our day of being the wives and moms, all perfectly quaffed with updos and pearls and demure smiles,” said Markle. 

“This was the other version of us both with wild curly hair and swimsuits and loose linen and huge belly laughs. Big cuddles with our little ones, quiet whispers of girl talk on the terrace, giddy like absolute schoolgirls. We were just having so much fun.”

Markle made the revelation while Gregoire Trudeau was a guest on her podcast. 

This isn’t the first time in recent months Gregoire Trudeau has mingled with high profile celebrities to discuss family and relationships. 

Gregoire Trudeau was a host for a talk at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival where failed-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her daughter Chelsea Clinton joined as guests.

The trio took to the stage to discuss the Clinton’s new Apple TV program “Gutsy.”

Markle has had a controversial relationship with her husband’s family – including accusations of racism toward her. She now lives in the United States with her family following a short-lived stint in British Columbia beginning in 2019. 

The duo, who embraced a life outside of the Royal Family, cost Canadian taxpayers over $334,000 in security fees for visits and security over a period of four years. 

Round-the-clock security during their residence alone cost $56,384 paid for by taxpayers.
