Meghan Markle’s highly anticipated new podcast series has hit a roadblock, with its release reportedly delayed until 2025. This setback has raised concerns among industry experts and fans alike, with some suggesting it could be a ‘red flag’ for the Duchess of Sussex’s future projects.
The delay was first reported by The Mirror, which quoted PR guru Ryan McCormick as saying, ‘Meghan’s new podcast delay in the wake of all the ‘phoenix rising after Spotify deal collapse’ hype is a PR disaster.’ McCormick pointed out that there are millions of podcasts in existence today, implying that many people have been able to successfully launch their own shows, while Markle appears to be struggling.
Sources close to the situation have disclosed that the delay stems from scheduling conflicts with Markle’s new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, and concerns that the podcast could be overshadowed by her upcoming Netflix venture. These concerns were reportedly raised by Lemonada, the podcast network that partnered with Markle for the Archetypes series.
Despite the setback, Markle is said to be continuing work on her new podcast, with high-profile guests reportedly lined up for the series. The Express Online has contacted representatives for both Markle and Lemonada for comment, but no official statement has been released at this time.
The delay of Markle’s podcast series has sparked a flurry of speculation and debate. Some have questioned whether Markle is overextending herself with her various projects, while others have suggested that the delay could be a sign of creative differences or production issues. It remains to be seen how the postponement will affect the trajectory of Markle’s podcasting career and her overall public image.
