Meghan Markle has made her return, as if the world hadn’t already heard enough of her carefully curated insights and personal grievances. This time, she’s making another attempt at podcasting, despite her previous venture with Spotify ending in unmet expectations and an influx of unearned millions.
But why let failure be a deterrent? According to insiders, her latest audio project is exactly what one would expect—an exercise in self-indulgence, filled with questionable claims and a noticeable lack of originality. Rather than delivering fresh or thought-provoking content, it appears to be a repetitive cycle of past complaints and secondhand anecdotes. Nothing quite says relatable like a privileged former royal lecturing on hardships she has never truly experienced.
Among the more eye-catching claims, Meghan has allegedly borrowed personal stories to bolster her narrative. One particularly amusing example is her sudden discovery of Nigerian heritage, a revelation strikingly similar to another individual's experience. But why stop at adopting personal stories when broader social issues can be repackaged and presented as if they were uniquely her own? Beyond her foray into podcasting, Meghan’s ambitious entrepreneurial ventures seem to follow a predictable pattern—grand announcements, hefty price tags, and ultimately, underwhelming results. Her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, has shown about as much vibrancy as her acting career. Meanwhile, Netflix executives are reportedly unimpressed, as her projects fail to meet expectations. Still, she will likely pivot again soon, perhaps to a memoir on resilience or a new line of ethically sourced, self-affirming teas.
The reality of Meghan’s podcast is that it lacks originality and thrives on repetition. The formula is simple—select an inspirational theme, sprinkle in self-praise, invite a guest unlikely to challenge her views, and package it all into an overproduced but ultimately forgettable episode. Despite stepping away from the royal family, she remains firmly attached to her Duchess of Sussex title, as if her relevance hinges on it. Meanwhile, uncertainty lingers over whether her children will carry the Mountbatten-Windsor surname or if she will find a way to brand them with something more marketable.
It’s worth remembering that Meghan’s last podcast deal with Spotify ended in accusations of opportunism after she failed to deliver on her contract. When the platform decided to cut its losses, it dropped her faster than one of her fading celebrity friendships. Now, she is attempting to rebrand herself, but if her strategy relies on doubling down on victimhood, the results may be just as disastrous. Reports suggest that her new company and team are increasingly worried that constantly rehashing her past failures will do more harm than good, further tarnishing her already fragile reputation. They fear that revisiting missteps—from her failed Spotify deal to her underwhelming Netflix projects—will make regaining public trust even more difficult. However, the real challenge is not just avoiding past mistakes but proving that she has learned anything from them. At this point, her podcast and business ventures seem less about genuine success and more about prolonging the media spectacle. With accusations of plagiarism, a string of failed projects, and a growing disconnect with the public, Meghan’s latest reinvention appears to be yet another desperate attempt to stay relevant.
