Meghan Markle has teased a first look at her new business venture on social media, sharing images of a jar of strawberry jam. The Duchess of Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍 unveiled the item this week and gifted jars of her conserves to a range of influencers and socialites. “I mean how incredibly disappointing,” Ms Schofield told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “Why all this PR hype?”
The relaunch of Meghan Markle’s Archetypes podcast will be knocked back to next year amid concerns it will be overshadowed by the Duchess’ new lifestyle brand, according to a royal expert.
Richard Eden, Daily Mail Diary Editor and Palace Confidential broadcaster, has exclusively revealed the relaunch of Meghan’s podcast series through Lemonada Media will be pushed back to 2025 as she instead focuses on her luxury brand.
Meghan originally signed with Spotify to develop the podcast but parted ways with the company last year after producing only one season.
In February she announced she had partnered with Lemonada instead to develop and host a new Archetypes series.
However, Eden said a Californian-based source has told him there is not expected to be any work broadcast this year.
“The relaunch of Meghan’s Archetypes podcast got pushed back to 2025,” the source said.
It is believed Lemonada did not want the podcast’s launch to be overshadowed by the launch of Meghan’s new lifestyle Netflix project.
The show aims to “celebrate the joys of cooking and gardening, entertaining and friendship,” according to Netflix.
Meghan began filming the program at a rented house in Montecito last week.
Lemonada reportedly had concerns about potential “scheduling conflicts” between the launch of Archetypes and that of Meghan’s lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
Sources claim the Duchess had a list of “very high-profile guests” scheduled to participate in the new podcast episodes.
Meghan’s debut product as part of her brand was a jar of strawberry jam with friends of the former actress taking to social media in April to showcase the product featuring the brand’s luxury labelling.
The Duchess and her husband Prince Harry were signed on with Spotify for almost three years before their deal was axed last year.
They were brutally blasted as ‘f***ing grifters’ by a top Spotify executive after the pair’s $20 million podcast deal with the streaming platform was scrapped.
