According to a source, Meghan envisions the podcast to be primarily philanthropic in nature. Now, call me skeptical, but I fail to see how discussing her royal escapades qualifies as philanthropy. But hey, maybe I missed the memo on the new definition of charity. "She considers herself too academic for entertainment only," claims the insider. Well, pardon me while I roll my eyes. Meghan, the academic? I suppose her dissertation was on the trials and tribulations of being a Duchess in a world filled with tiaras and tea parties.
But here's the kicker – she claims she doesn't want the podcast to be driven by celebrity gossip, although she'll undoubtedly have some stars as guests. Because, you know, the Duchess of Sussex is above the superficial allure of celebrity, despite hobnobbing with Hollywood's elite. The irony is thicker than the walls of Buckingham Palace.
And let's not overlook Meghan's penchant for portraying herself as the victim. The insider spills the beans, suggesting she wants to "do some inner reflecting" and "share stories" from her own life. So buckle up, folks, as we prepare to embark on a journey through Meghan's turbulent life as a royal.
In February, Meghan proudly announced her podcast partnership, stating, "Being able to support a female-founded company with a roster of thought-provoking and highly entertaining podcasts is a fantastic way to kick off 2024." Fantastic, indeed. Because nothing screams empowerment like leveraging your royal connections to secure a podcast deal and claiming you're supporting a female-founded company.
But let's not be swayed by the flowery rhetoric. Meghan's previous podcast deal with Spotify was unceremoniously scrapped in 2023 after executives found her Archetypes podcast underwhelming. It seems the world wasn't as captivated by Meghan's musings as she had hoped. Renowned royal commentator Tom Bower labeled them "grifters," and the Spotify deal became another casualty in Meghan and Harry's quest for fame beyond the royal realm.
So, as we brace ourselves for Meghan's latest podcast venture, let's remember – it's not about philanthropy or academic pursuits. It's about craving the spotlight, thirsting for attention, and relentlessly striving to rewrite history in Meghan's favor. And as for Prince Harry, well, he remains the puppet, pulled along by Meghan's strings in this grand theater of their own making.
