1 July 2024 Punjab Khabarnama : Reports indicate that Meghan Markle, following a less impressive start with Archetypes, may utilize her previous connections in Hollywood by contacting her former colleagues from the popular legal series ‘Suits’.She is set to make an appearance on her upcoming podcast collaboration with Lemonada Media. This decision was made following the disappointment of her first podcast on Spotify, which did not meet the anticipated level of success. As a result, she is now exploring different strategies to create buzz for her upcoming venture.
Meghan’s new podcast lineup might be led by Priyanka Chopra
In a recent interview with Express, Celebrity PR Specialist Kayley Cornelius suggested that Meghan might initially reach out to her remaining friends and utilize their networks for her new podcast. One of the first names she could consider is her long-term friend Priyanka Chopra, who did not feature on ‘Archetypes.’She also mentioned that Meghan might consider it as one of the first names to invite the initial lineup of stars to her studio for her new podcast.
In February 2024, the Duchess of Sussex, who recently introduced her new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, entered into an agreement with Lemonada Media for a new podcast that is scheduled to be released in 2025. This comes after Spotify, the top music and podcast platform worldwide, chose not to continue Meghan’s ‘Archetypes’ for a second season. The £15 million Spotify deal allegedly concluded in 2023.
After finalizing the deal with the female-founded company, Meghan expressed her excitement to join the talented team at Lemonada and continue her passion for podcasting.
Meghan Markle might seek the help of her ‘Suits’ co-stars for her upcoming podcast
Cornelius said that potential guests for Meghan’s new podcast could include her friends from her ‘Suits’ days, like Abigail Spencer and Wendell Pierce, who are likely still accessible points of contact for her. The expert emphasized that in order to make her podcast successful, the Duchess may need to rely on her former Hollywood co-stars. Although Meghan has lost touch with many friends, Cornelius mentioned that her contact list may not have completely diminished, but she will definitely have a smaller pool to rely on.
Although Archetypes did not manage to attract a more famous audience, Meghan was able to have some well-known personalities join her for podcast sessions, such as Serena Williams, Paris Hilton, Mariah Carey, and Andy Cohen. The podcast was co-produced by Harry. This news comes at a time when there are reports suggesting that the Sussexes are gradually losing friends and connections in America, as well as the entertainment industry acquaintances they relied on after moving to California.
The report is also a result of Meghan and Harry’s reported falling out with well-known figures such as David and Victoria Beckham. According to Royal author Tom Bower, the strained relationship between the couples, who were previously close friends, was revealed in his new book.House of Beckham claims that Meghan was initially annoyed by Victoria’s immense riches and believed they shared none.They had a very small encounter when they first met.
