Meghan Markle’s Podcast Struggles: Falling Behind Kim Kardashian in Spotify Charts

Royal expert Kinsey Schofield recently discussed Meghan Markle's waning popularity in the United States, pointing out that her podcast is now being outperformed by Kim Kardashian on the Spotify charts.

During a segment on GB News Breakfast, reporters Rosie Wright and Paul Hawkins invited Showbiz reporter Kinsey Schofield to share her insights on Meghan Markle's latest podcast episode, Archetypes.

Schofield revealed that Meghan's appeal seems to be dwindling among the American audience.

When asked about this trend, Schofield responded candidly, highlighting the decline in interest by stating, “Not really.

I mean, if you look at the numbers, her podcast initially gained significant traction, but lately, Kim Kardashian has been surpassing her on the Spotify charts.”

The shift in Meghan's reception has not gone unnoticed by the American media.

There appears to be a noticeable decrease in enthusiasm towards Meghan, with some finding her recent endeavors somewhat disingenuous.

Schofield remarked on this change, noting, “I think we're pleasantly surprised that she's toning down her complaints, but it comes across as insincere due to the drastic shift in her approach.”

Critics have pointed out Meghan's apparent confusion between stereotypes and archetypes, suggesting that her podcast choices are more aligned with her brand, Archwell, than with genuine storytelling.

Meghan's concept of archetypes seems to stem from a blend of Archwell and stereotypes, a notion that has raised eyebrows among industry experts.

Spotify had been courting Meghan and Prince Harry for nearly two years to produce content following a delay in their 2020 holiday special, which initially featured whale noises.

Meghan's podcast episodes have delved into various archetypes such as Ambition, Diva, Singleton, and others, aiming to shed light on societal perceptions of women.

Despite Meghan's efforts to empower women through her podcast, some critics argue that her interpretations of archetypes are outdated and fail to reflect the progress made in gender equality.

One expert went as far as to suggest that Meghan's recent ventures have led to a decline in viewership, indicating a disconnect between her message and audience engagement.

An upcoming event featuring Meghan Markle at a Power of Women gathering in Indianapolis has sparked comparisons to former First Lady Michelle Obama's past appearances.

Expert Daniela Elsa highlighted the contrasting attendance figures between the two events, underscoring a significant drop in anticipated crowd size for Meghan's speech.

Elsa emphasized the disparity in audience turnout, noting that Michelle Obama's previous event drew a crowd of around 13,000 attendees, while Meghan's upcoming appearance is projected to attract only 2,500 people.

The shift in audience size has raised questions about Meghan's drawing power compared to other prominent figures.

In a critical analysis, Elsa pointed out the logistical constraints of Meghan's event venue, highlighting the limited capacity of the conference space at the Indianapolis Marriott downtown.

Comparisons to Michelle Obama's sold-out arena event further underscored the challenges faced by Meghan in garnering widespread public interest.

As Elsa scrutinized Meghan's event attendance against industry benchmarks, she noted the stark differences in audience expectations and turnout.

The disparity in crowd sizes between Meghan's upcoming talk and Michelle Obama's past engagements serves as a barometer for evaluating Meghan's current standing in the public eye.

Recent viewership data from online platforms like YouTube also shed light on Meghan's reach and impact compared to other celebrities.

A comparison between Meghan and actress Ana de Armas in terms of online engagement revealed varying levels of audience interest, with Meghan facing challenges in maintaining consistent viewer engagement.
