Meghan Markle is reportedly seething as one of Prince Harry’s former girlfriends launches a wildly successful podcast, eclipsing anything the Duchess of Sussex has attempted in the entertainment world.
The hit podcast, which features Hollywood A-listers like Kate Winslet, has quickly climbed the charts, leaving Meghan’s previous ventures—including her now-canceled Archetypes podcast—in the dust. According to insiders, Meghan is struggling to come to terms with the fact that someone from Harry’s past is not only thriving but has also become a more influential media figure than she ever managed to be.
This latest development is yet another setback for Meghan, whose public image has faced mounting challenges in recent years. While she and Prince Harry secured multi-million-dollar deals with Spotify and Netflix, Archetypes failed to make a lasting impact and was quietly canceled after just one season.
Critics pointed out that the show felt overly scripted and self-indulgent, with Meghan often shifting the focus onto herself rather than allowing her guests to shine. In stark contrast, Harry’s ex-girlfriend has created a podcast that resonates with audiences, drawing in listeners with compelling interviews and top-tier celebrity guests.
Adding insult to injury, **A-listers who previously distanced themselves from Meghan**, including Kate Winslet, have willingly participated in this rival podcast—yet never appeared on *Archetypes*. This has sparked further speculation about **Meghan’s real standing in Hollywood**, despite her persistent efforts to align herself with the industry’s elite.
Many insiders suggest that **Meghan’s reputation for being difficult to work with** has caused some of Hollywood’s biggest names to keep their distance. Reports indicate that she is now **scrambling to launch a new media project** in an attempt to reclaim the spotlight.
However, experts predict an **uphill battle**, especially after her credibility took a significant hit when **Spotify executive Bill Simmons publicly criticized her and Harry**, labeling them as “grifters” following the collapse of their **$20 million deal**.
Meanwhile, Harry’s ex—without the advantage of royal connections or a high-profile marriage—has effortlessly built a **successful media platform**, proving that **talent and substance** often outweigh **titles and controversy**.
Meghan’s frustration reportedly also stems from the fact that **her and Harry’s carefully crafted victim narrative is losing its appeal**. While the couple initially gained public sympathy through tell-all interviews and explosive allegations against the royal family, interest in their grievances has **faded**.
Instead of being seen as groundbreaking, their repeated complaints are now viewed as **tiresome and predictable**. In contrast, Harry’s ex has taken a different approach—**focusing on meaningful conversations rather than personal vendettas**—a strategy that has clearly paid off.
This turn of events highlights a **stark reality** for Meghan Markle. Despite her efforts to position herself as a **global influencer**, she continues to be **overshadowed**—first by the royal family, then by Hollywood elites, and now by an **unexpected competitor**.
Unlike Meghan, her new media rival has **secured public interest without controversy**, proving that **genuine influence doesn’t require drama or victimhood**.
With her **media relevance slipping** and competition thriving, Meghan Markle may soon have to face an uncomfortable truth—**her time at the center of public fascination may be coming to an end**.
