Meghan Markle’s podcast launch has been delayed until 2025, with Lemonada Media, her podcast distributor, citing scheduling conflicts with her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, and a Netflix cooking show. The Duchess of Sussex has reportedly faced difficulties in securing A-list guests for her podcast due to their busy schedules, as noted by royal expert Kinsey Schofield. These challenges have contributed to the pushback of the podcast’s release date.

Schofield also mentioned that a previous podcast series by Meghan with Spotify encountered delays from having too many producers, which complicated the content creation process. Despite her global fame following her marriage to Prince Harry, Meghan’s endeavors in managing her post-royal projects appear to be intricate, highlighting the complex dynamics of celebrity culture and scheduling.

Additionally, Meghan has been receiving advice on how to improve her public image in the UK. PR experts have suggested that she needs to convey authenticity, humility, and consistency, and focus on more relatable content to reconnect with the British public. Suggestions include engaging in charity work and reducing the emphasis on her “Hollywood ways.”

In other reports, royal commentator Charlotte Griffiths has critiqued Meghan’s handling of personal relationships, specifically mentioning her former best friend Jessica Mulroney. Griffiths described a pattern where Meghan allegedly distances herself from individuals once they no longer serve her interests, a behavior dubbed as being “Markled.” This term has emerged following observations of Meghan’s alleged approach to personal and professional relationships.
