Meghan Markle’s highly anticipated return to the world of podcasting has hit a snag, as her previous $20 million deal with Spotify came to an abrupt halt last year.
Earlier this year, the Duchess of Sussex announced her partnership with Lemonada Media, a prominent female-founded audio company, to launch a new podcast series.
Initial reports indicated that Meghan’s upcoming podcast would feature a ‘dynamic’ format, with the financial details of the deal remaining undisclosed.
However, sources have now disclosed that Meghan’s much-awaited podcast will not be relaunching this year, with the show being ‘put on ice’ until 2025.
Insiders claim that Lemonada raised concerns about potential conflicts between Meghan’s new Netflix show and her podcasting commitments.
Despite this setback, sources maintain that Meghan has secured a roster of ‘very high-profile guests’ for her upcoming podcast.
The postponement of Meghan’s podcast adds to the ongoing speculation surrounding her and Prince Harry’s future in Hollywood following the termination of their Spotify deal.
Jessica Cordova Kramer, co-founder of Lemonada Media, expressed the company’s unwavering commitment to ‘democratizing’ access to Meghan’s podcast and lauded her exceptional talent in the audio genre.
Lemonada’s co-founder, Stephanie Wittels Wachs, echoed Kramer’s sentiments, highlighting the immediate connection they felt with Meghan and her Archewell Productions team.
