Meghan Markle’s Podcast Series Continues Amidst Royal Family Drama
In a surprising turn of events, Meghan Markle has announced that her podcast series, Archetypes, will continue despite recent tensions with the Royal Family.
The first three episodes of the series have already been released, and according to a notice on Archetype's official Spotify page, regular episodes will resume on Tuesday, October 4.
However, there was a brief interruption in the podcast's schedule following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8.
The Archetypes page on Spotify posted an update stating that new episodes would be suspended during the formal mourning period for the Queen.
This decision raised eyebrows and led to speculation about the reasons behind the suspension.
Many questioned why Meghan couldn't simply inform her listeners about the situation.
“What must we do, then?
Do another official engagement while you're out?
This doesn't make any sense,” one critic declared.
Meghan addressed these concerns in her podcast, discussing the focus on appearances rather than emotions.
In a conversation with Ms. Carey, she opened up about her experiences as a mixed-race woman, particularly when she started dating her husband, Prince Harry.
She revealed how her perception of race changed and how she began to understand the challenges faced by black women.
During her interview with Ms. Kaling, Meghan also spoke about her childhood and the struggles she faced.
She mentioned being called an “ugly duckling” and expressed frustration over people suggesting she was lucky to have been chosen by Prince Harry.
She emphasized the importance of self-confidence and not relying on validation from others.
The episodes released so far have hinted at Meghan's intentions to discuss her experiences within the Royal Family.
It is speculated that she may make further revelations in the remaining eight episodes of the series, which premiered in late August.
However, Royal Authority Kinsey Schofield suggests that Meghan may make last-minute edits to ensure her words are not disrespectful or derogatory towards the Royal Family following the Queen's passing.
In the most recent episode, Meghan revealed her upcoming guests, stand-up comedian Margaret Cho and journalist Lisa Lin.
The Duchess expressed her excitement for future conversations, specifically mentioning delving into the stereotype known as the Dragon Lady.
This suggests that Meghan will continue to explore complex themes and challenge societal norms through her podcast.
Meanwhile, Dr. Shola Mose Shogbamimu, a vocal critic of the Royal Family, recently went on a passionate tirade against King Charles during a phone-in on a talk show.
She criticized him for making Princess Diana miserable and questioned his character in light of his past actions.
The discussion arose in the context of the upcoming season of the popular TV series, The Crown, which will delve into the troubled relationship between Charles and Diana.
Caller Tracy, who shared her thoughts on the show, expressed her belief that previous seasons of The Crown had already damaged Charles' reputation.
Tracy claimed that the portrayal of Charles as uncaring and indifferent towards Diana had left a lasting impact on public perception.
Charles and Diana's marriage was marred by infidelity and turmoil.
They wed in 1981, with Diana only 20 years old at the time.
Diana famously remarked in a 1995 interview that “there were three of us in this marriage,” referring to Charles' affair with Camilla Parker Bowles.
Despite their troubled marriage, Charles and Camilla continued their relationship, allegedly dating since 1986.
They eventually married in 2005, eight years after Diana's tragic death.
The Queen had given her blessing for Camilla to assume the title of Queen Consort upon Charles' succession, a testament to their efforts to improve Camilla's public image.
As Meghan Markle's podcast series progresses, it remains to be seen what further revelations she will make and how her words will be received by the Royal Family.
The ongoing drama surrounding the monarchy continues to captivate audiences, leaving many eager to hear Meghan's perspective on her experiences within the firm.
