Meghan Markle

A year-and-a-half into her Spotify podcast contract, there has been little-to-no production value coming from either of the Windsors of Montecito.

With less than half the span of the contract left and a total of one (1) podcast pushed live, we and the British are going to be facing many more hours of “Archetypes.” We do also know, and perhaps Meghan Markle’s first, main point in the early going of this exercise is that it may not matter what she and whatever well-known person she has invited ultimately talk about. The point lies, rather, in the exercise itself: Though Meghan Markle is on a good day, at best, a Grade B or -C celebrity, for Spotify’s purposes she can draw Grade-A celebrities to her modest flame and demonstrate an Oprah-esque intimacy with them. Why she chose to do that for the better part of an hour-long show will remain a mystery that her many producers will be attempting to solve as the series grinds on. As central as that event was to the stated “Archetype” podcast’s mission of looking at issues that “hold women back,” and, specifically, to the stated theme of this podcast, “The Misconception of Ambition,” Meghan Markle chose to ameliorate the very intense on-target value of her first, ideal, A-list guest. The podcast is a tastefully soundtracked parade of banalities, absurdities and self-aggrandising Californian platitudes. Here’s a quick smorgasbord of the reactions to “Archetypes” on Fleet Street. Predictably, the parameters of this conversation were very liberally set, which is to say, first, that it was hardly an interview, and second, that Meghan Markle led the show. They’re going to have to ramp up the velocity of production. Whatever position we might take on the content, which we’ll address below, going in there’s this ineluctable fact: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have a year and a bit, or less than 50%, of their stated three years left. Shepherd being a married-in (to actress Kristin Bell) sort-of celebrity-bro to Harry in addition to a fraternal Spotify stablemate, there’s actually been little-to-no production value on Spotify coming from either of the Windsors of Montecito, and that in return for a contract reportedly [worth some $15-million-to-$18-million](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/meghan-markle-spotify-podcast-debut-170956159.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAGSK11r0niysx_7RCDNGOIZRbN2kyLXh8EChFNaaxMZQ1xRg3NXaovjwBsEGBMzk8DEfVoMYNiWKT79X7yo1LMfkKdhpjYTMOqhvoEV_GaZjVezTyJoHM1HQhY6k0jVu-HpoPMNxsAV26UsEfIowFbsyK6OgoSVubAG3K0H-gM-C).

Meghan and Harry are currently living in California but are set to return for a trip to the UK next month. In a video promoting the podcast The Duchess of Sussex said: “People should expect the real me in this, and probably the me that they’ve never gotten to know.” Meghan Markle revealed that fans will get to know the real her in a brand new podcast released Tuesday on Spotify.

Meghan Markle's new Spotify podcast has been slammed by critics who said it was 'almost entirely preposterous' and 'just another way she can talk about ...

My goodness, that is a smack at Harry and a punch to the Royal Family. - 'This is a very negative view of women, we all know they have been breaking the glass ceiling for many years now. - 'This podcast is yet another example of the inescapable truth that Britain and the USA are two nations divided by a common language. - 'It seems to be an allegory of all the many ways in which she, a fierce, strong, brave woman was wronged and traduced in the ten minutes she lived in the UK and was fêted as the best thing to happen to the royal family in years. The interview was about The Misconception of Ambition, but the implication here is that after she dated Harry she feels she was picked on. - 'One of the things I admire about British sensibility is a desire to prick people's balloon heads when they get too big, which I don't think is a bad thing. - 'With this episode, you kind of see her go after Tom Bower, responding to his claim that she's ambitious and scheming. - 'Even the anecdote about how Meghan first met her supposed interviewee – at a 2010 Super Bowl party – is somehow turned into self-aggrandisement. - 'The first guest is Serena Williams, but tennis enthusiasts who tune in might be a bit disappointed. - 'The podcast is a tastefully soundtracked parade of banalities, absurdities and self-aggrandising Californian platitudes. - 'The podcast is an interview with this inspirational sporting figure in name only. - 'The Duchess of Sussex's almost entirely preposterous new podcast Archetypes promises to 'rip apart the boxes women have been placed into for generations'.

In her new podcast, Meghan Markle Duchess of Sussex, got candid about not feeling 'sexy' during pregnancy in comparison to close friend Serena Williams, ...

During the first episode of her new podcast, Archetypes, in which she sits down for a chat with close friend [Serena Williams](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/beauty-hair/celebrity-hair-makeup/a40832489/serena-williams-summer-braids/), [Prince Harry](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/reports/a40954112/royals-who-didnt-go-to-university/)'s wife opened up about body image and sexuality while expecting. So, three cheers to Meghan for putting herself out there and speaking about it all in such a relatable way. When she sat down I said, 'Oh you look amazing and you’ve just had a baby'," Eve shared. "I just waddled around, I was just tired. Oh and with the belly chain, it was everything." When asked by reporters about how the interaction went, Eve said that Harry seemed like a very supportive partner.

Meghan Markle has opened up about a terrifying incident her family faced whilst on a royal tour to South Africa, when a fire broke out in Archie's nursery ...

"In that amount of time that she went downstairs [...] the heater in the nursery caught on fire. Meghan added that it was Lauren's 'instinct' that saved Archie from being in the bedroom at the time of the fire. "Everyone's in tears, everyone's shaken," she recounts. She continued: "And so we're in the car. She was supposed to put Archie down for his nap and she just said, 'You know what? Thankfully, Meghan explained [on her new podcast, Archetypes](https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/body/health/a40974540/meghan-markle-body-pregnant/), their nanny, Lauren, was able to 'save' Archie from coming to any harm as she kept the little one with her whilst making a snack in the kitchen (as the blaze simultaneously broke out).

Meghan Markle recounted a story from the Sussexes' royal tour, when Archie's nursery caught fire, on her new podcast.

By Iris Goldsztajn Iris writes about everything from celebrity news and relationship advice to the pitfalls of diet culture and the joys of exercise. She concluded, "Because we did, we had to leave our baby! She has many opinions on Harry Styles, and can typically be found eating her body weight in cheap chocolate. Can you just tell people what happened?'" she recalled. "And we came back, and of course as a mother you go, 'Oh my God, what just...' Everyone's in tears, everyone's shaken," she said. The duchess continued, "In that amount of time that she went downstairs, the heater in the nursery caught on fire. "We finish the engagement, we get in the car, and they say, 'There's been a fire at the residence.' What? "He was going to get ready to go down for his nap. Markle explained to 'There's been a fire in the baby's room.' What?" There was no smoke detector.

The Duchess of Sussex shared her experience of being pregnant in a conversation with Serena Williams for her new Spotify podcast, Archetypes.

Hailing from the lovely city of Dublin, she mainly covers the Royal Family and the entertainment world, as well as the occasional health and wellness feature. Speaking on her new podcast, Archetypes, the Duchess of Sussex reflected on the downsides of the gestational period with her close friend, Serena Williams. "I don't remember ever personally feeling the negative connotation behind the word 'ambitious' until I started dating my now husband," she told Serena. I was just tired, I was so tired. "I love being a woman and I loved being pregnant. I was one of those,” Williams said.

Meghan Markle recalled how son Archie's nursery caught on fire during premiere episode of Archetypes podcast.

Serena Williams appeared on Meghan Markle's podcast "Archetypes," and shared a photo of them together on Instagram along with daughter Olympia.

But apparently the [tennis legend](https://www.glamour.com/about/serena-williams) didn't visit the recording studio alone—Williams blessed us with a sweet photo of herself with Olympia, her four-year-old daughter, and [Markle](https://www.glamour.com/about/meghan-markle) on her Instagram grid.

Markle is wearing her dark hair down in soft curls, with a denim dress and a jacket draped over her shoulders. “This feminist ideology trickled down into nearly every aspect of my education,” Markle said about her schooling at Immaculate Heart, an all-girls Catholic school in Los Angeles. Olympia is wearing her hair in little buns on the top of her head.

SPOTIFY has been urged to 'ask for their money back' from their £15million deal with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry after the launch of her new Archetypes ...

Spotify reportedly gave the pair $18 million for this podcast 2 years ago.

I wonder at which point they’ll ask for their money back.— Darren Grimes (@darrengrimes_) At the end of that same year, they released a holiday special podcast episode which featured celebrity guests, as well as their young son Archie. Meghan's new Archetypes podcast series with Spotify was announced in March of this year and will see the Duchess of Sussex investigate "the labels that try to hold women back". In a teaser when the series was announced, Meghan said: "This is how we talk about women, the words that raise our girls, and how the media reflects women back to us.

Mamma Mia - or just Mia - was rescued from her life as a breeder for the research facility and had recently been taken in by an organisation called the Beagle Freedom Project based in California. "It's sort of like if Oprah tells you to do something. "She was like 'No, we don’t want a Christmas puppy. The couple has adopted a seven-year-old beagle called Mamma Mia from an animal shelter after she was rescued when the animal testing facility she had been living at shut down earlier this year. Because Ellen told me to." Love the royals?

The dogs were, in turn moved to shelters and rescue groups, including the Beagle Freedom Project in California, where Meghan and Harry ultimately found Mamma Mia. "She calls on my cell with no Caller ID and says, 'Hey Shannon, this is Meghan.' We talked for 30 minutes, and I thought, 'Is this Megan Fox?'"

In her new podcast Archetypes, Meghan Markle talks with Serena Williams about being from Compton.

[Meghan's stated goal of her podcast](https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a39525846/meghan-markle-archetypes-podcast-spotify/) is to "dissect, explore, and subvert the labels that try to hold women back."

"My biggest regret is not making more of a stance earlier on in my relationship with my wife and calling out the racism when I did," he said in The Me You Can't See. In this, they subtly dismiss the Daily Mail for painting being from Compton as a bad thing. As they chat about how they were both the same age growing up in Los Angeles, Meghan tells Serena, "Although, this morning I was saying to Harry, I said, Do you remember, one of those?" Serena then jokes, "I'm the one for the record that grew up in Compton!" When Prince Harry first started dating Meghan Markle, the Daily Mail published a story that said "Harry’s new girl is (almost) straight outta Compton." And I'm like, I'm not from Compton. My mom doesn't live in Compton.

In the first episode of her podcast, Archetypes, Markle shared a story about her son's nursery catching on fire during a royal engagement in South Africa ...

“He was supposed to be sleeping in there.” The couple, she said, had to ignore the incident and go to their next engagement without their son. “We finish the engagement,” she said, “and they say there’s been a fire at the residence. [Karl Stefanovic](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11140333/Today-host-Karl-Stefanovic-LAUGHS-Meghan-Markles-fire-scare-son-Archie.html) actually laughed through the story on-air and said, “So, just to get this right, the baby is, what, not even there? Meanwhile, commenters on TikTok heard this story about a mother fearing for her child’s safety and immediately accused Meghan of lying. “Everyone’s in tears, everyone’s shaken,” she said. (This happened in 2019, before the couple announced they were [stepping down](https://www.thecut.com/2020/03/meghan-markle-prince-harry-endeavour-awards.html) from their roles in the royal family.)

Over 4000 beagles were rescued from a breeding facility in Virginia in August. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry adopted one of the dogs.

Speaking to the LA Times, Keith divulged that Harry already seemed attuned to Mamma Mia's needs within moments of meeting her. Mia and her puppies first went to Maryland before coming to California, the outlet also reported. She told the LA Times that the duchess simply identified herself as Meghan, so Keith had no idea she was speaking to a member of the royal family throughout their 30-minute call. The facility was set to be shut down after the Department of Justice accused Envigo RMS of animal cruelty in May. The dogs would have become test subjects for US drug experiments, as [Reuters](https://www.reuters.com/world/us/over-4000-beagles-destined-drug-experiments-finding-new-homes-2022-08-09/) reported.

MEGHAN Markle's Spotify podcast was a chance for her to 'settle scores' after being attacked in a new book, a royal commentator claimed.

In the podcast, Meghan Markle explains how distressed she felt upon hearing that the nursery where Archie was sleeping caught fire. The podcast was an opportunity for Meghan to push back against these accusations, Ms Schofield says. [Duchess of Sussex](/express.co.uk/latest/meghan-markle) is releasing the Spotify podcast to "settle scores", showbiz journalist Kinsey Schofield claims, a day after Meghan Markle's first podcast episode was aired.

I am no fan of Prince Harry or Duchess Meghan Markle. In fact, I find them insufferable. Harry has chosen to live here because it is too untenable and hostile ...

But she is very, very proud of herself and is laying out the groundwork that this is a feminist podcast and that she has been bravely calling out sexism in the media from a prepubescent age. They are also well aware of how much the elites who rule the media do not represent them or really care about their interests. Or – and I’m taking a wild guess here - is this just a medium for which the Duchess will interview sycophants who want to ruminate on how difficult it is to be a rich woman, yet have no concrete solutions on how to fix it? I have so many more questions about this incident, particularly because it is heavily implied that the royal engagements were more important to the royal family ‘firm’ than a nursery where their child would have slept bursting into flames. We had a rehash of the ups and downs of Serena Williams' incredible tennis career, and an uncomfortable and unnatural sitcom Dad cameo by Harry where he stops by to compliment ‘the vibe’ of Serena's hair. She recalls her son's nursery catching fire on a trip to South Africa and being forced to go to another royal engagement regardless. Right as she is starting to dish on what happened, the podcast cuts out with music. To her credit, she is a great voice actress. You feel like you are in the room hanging out with friends. Yet he chooses to trash my beloved country because not all of us simply bend the knee to a Prince or his woke politics. It’s why Conservative women were publicly and intentionally excluded from the infamous women's march. But it must be a harsh reality to him that his political opinion means nothing here.

Meghan Markle has a sweet term of endearment for Prince Harry, as she revealed during first Archetypes podcast episode.

Harry then let Meghan and Serena get on with recording the episode. With a background in features journalism, Lauren worked on the woman&home brand for four years before going freelance. Meghan Markle released her first podcast episode of Archetypes this week - and with it came new revelations about Meghan and Harry's time in The Firm. Lady Louise Windsor will start studying at the University of St. The podcast has received mixed reviews so far, with many praising Meghan for speaking out about how ambition was frowned upon within The Firm.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have adopted a 7-year-old beagle named Momma Mia, who was saved from the Envigo research lab with her puppies.

Harry and his wife spectacularly quit British royal life in 2020.
