Meghan Markle’s Podcast Plans: A Shift in Focus Amid Royal Turmoil

Meghan Markle appears to be strategizing her next move for her podcast, “Archetypes.”

Since its debut on August 23rd, the series has been put on hold due to the period of mourning following Queen Elizabeth II's passing.

However, royal expert Neil Sean has suggested that Markle may pivot her content to tackle the subject of social media perception and its impact on public figures.

According to Sean, a reliable source indicated that Meghan believes the challenges faced by her and Prince Harry can largely be attributed to the British media's portrayal of them.

This perspective seems to have crystallized for Markle during her recent interactions with the public.

As she walked through crowds, she reportedly sensed that the negative sentiment towards her might not be as widespread as she thought, leading her to conclude that it's the media skewing perceptions.

The insider elaborated that this realization could serve as the foundation for an upcoming episode focused on how individuals are perceived versus how they are portrayed by the mainstream media.

Sean emphasized that no matter what Meghan decides to share, her words will certainly be scrutinized by the public and critics alike.

He pointed out that if you live in a bubble, like Harry and Meghan have in their California home, it's easy to misinterpret public sentiment.

Their limited engagement with the public might contribute to their belief that they are unfairly judged.

When they do venture out, it seems they receive a warm reception, which might further confuse their understanding of their standing among the public.

Amid these developments, reports from MarkleNews1 on Instagram suggest that Meghan has requested a delay of six to eight weeks to re-record much of her upcoming podcast content.

This decision stems from her concerns about having allegedly disrespected Queen Elizabeth, King Charles, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in previous unreleased episodes.

Spotify, however, is caught in a dilemma.

They recognize the potential value of the existing episodes but also want to honor the late monarch's legacy.

The platform is reportedly hesitant to incur the additional costs associated with re-recording entire episodes, especially when they are sitting on what could be considered a goldmine of content.

Legal teams from both sides are now heavily involved, with Meghan eager to halt the release of the original podcasts.

Some royal enthusiasts speculate that if Spotify were to push ahead with the initial episodes, it could effectively end any hopes of redemption for the couple.

Martin Townsend, a former editor of the Sunday Express, weighed in on the situation, cautioning that Harry and Meghan risk alienating their American audience if they continue to criticize the royal family, particularly in light of recent events.

He noted that any attacks made now would likely come across as tone-deaf.

The couple seems to find it challenging to garner attention without targeting the royals.

As they navigate this precarious landscape, questions linger about what their public persona will look like if they cease their critiques.
