Mariah Carey Set to Steal the Spotlight from Meghan Markle in Upcoming Podcast Episode
In an unexpected turn of events, Mariah Carey is ready to knock Meghan Markle out and steal the spotlight in her next podcast episode.
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield warned the Duchess of Sussex that her upcoming guest, Mariah Carey, won't allow her to monopolize the conversation like Serena Williams did in the previous episode.
Schofield, a royal and showbiz reporter, cautioned Markle about Carey's potential reluctance to give her as much airtime to speak about herself.
During the first archetypes episode with Williams, the Duchess took up most of the airtime to share her own experiences.
Speaking on GB News, Schofield stated, “I highly doubt Mariah Carey will give her as much time to talk about herself as her friend Serena Williams did.”
Although Mariah Carey and Mindy Kaling are both big names, Schofield expressed doubts about the sustainability of Markle's podcast success after their appearances.
She pointed out that many listeners may not be familiar with the other guests lined up for future episodes, which could potentially jeopardize Markle's number one spot.
Schofield emphasized the importance of giving more airtime to Markle's female guests to share their own experiences.
She specifically mentioned Serena Williams, who was not given the chance to discuss how she overcame stereotypes as an incredible athlete.
Schofield believes this podcast is a great opportunity for Markle to make a name for herself and become a face of the feminist movement.
However, Schofield also noted that Markle's excessive use of the word “I” in the podcast, over 200 times in a 50-minute episode, suggests a focus on herself rather than her guests.
This observation raises questions about the true intentions behind the podcast and whether it aligns with its supposed purpose of empowering women.
Following the release of the highly anticipated first episode of Markle's Spotify podcast, she faced criticism for not allowing enough time for Serena Williams to share her story.
The podcast, titled “Archetypes,” aims to explore the double standards women face when pursuing their dreams.
Despite the controversy, the inaugural episode, titled “The Misconception of Ambition,” quickly climbed to the top of Spotify's charts in six countries.
In other news, Markle recently gave a revealing interview where she seemingly took a jab at the royal family.
Speaking with US magazine The Cut, she referred to herself as a “real-life princess” despite stepping down from her royal duties two years ago.
Markle emphasized the importance of being thoughtful about her status and acknowledged the impact she has on young girls who see her as a role model.
During the interview, Markle encouraged young girls to believe in their own power and create lives greater than any fairy tale.
She emphasized that finding love and happiness is possible, even in the face of obstacles.
This interview marks one of Markle's most intimate and revealing discussions with the US media since her highly publicized sit-down with Oprah Winfrey.
As Markle continues to navigate her post-royal life, her podcast and interviews offer glimpses into her perspective and aspirations.
With Mariah Carey poised to join the conversation, it remains to be seen how this unexpected pairing will unfold and whether Markle can maintain her podcast's success in the long run.
