Meghan Markle had reason to celebrate on Thursday as it was announced that the Duchess of Sussex had won a Gracie award for her Archetypes podcast, that debuted last year.
The Gracie Awards are presented by the Alliance of Women in Media Foundation to celebrate programming that was created by women for women. The royal was named as the Best Podcast Host for her series, which aimed to "dissect, explore and subvert the labels that try to hold women back" over the course of 12 episodes.
Following the news, Meghan said: "Thank you to the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation for this prestigious honor. This is a shared success for me and the team behind Archetypes – most of whom are women – and the inspiring guests who joined me each week."
Meghan and Harry previously hosted the podcast Archewell Audio and you can listen to a snippet of their first episode in the clip below.
Other winners this year include Christina Applegate, who recently shared her belief she would stop attending award shows due to her MS, for her role in Dead to Me.

Winners will be commemorated at a gala, which is scheduled for May 23, and will be hosted at the Beverly Wilshire in Los Angeles. A separate luncheon will be held for local and student winners at the Cipriani in New York City on June 20.
