Meghan Markle’s Podcast Gets Canceled: Future Plans in Doubt
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s podcast, called “Archetypes,” has been canceled after the first season. They had a big deal with Spotify worth £20 million, but both sides agreed to end it. The couple said they were proud of the series they made together. Spotify is also laying off some staff, which might mean the money didn’t work out.
Some people questioned the podcast’s name, as “archetypes” usually means examples of people, not stereotypes. Meghan’s podcast seemed to focus a lot on herself and didn’t give much time for guests to speak.
This cancellation raises doubts about the couple’s popularity in the United States. They were once seen as glamorous and outspoken, but things seem to be changing. It’s unclear how they will replace the income they had from the podcast, as they still have a lavish lifestyle to maintain in Montecito.
Meghan might bring back her wellness platform, “The Tig,” to compete with Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop. Prince Harry also has a book deal to fulfill with Penguin Random House.
Reconciliation with the royal family is uncertain. Even though it was hoped that the passing of Queen Elizabeth II would bring them closer, trust remains broken. Rebuilding that trust will be hard.
With the podcast canceled and less interest in the couple, people are getting tired of hearing about them. Now, everyone is waiting to see what Meghan and Harry will do next.
