Following the collapse of her Spotify deal in June 2023, Meghan Markle is poised to explore her interest in podcasts with Lemonada Media, though specific details remain undisclosed.
The Duchess of Sussex's collaboration with Lemonada Media was announced alongside the launch of Sussex.com, a new website that was quietly unveiled amidst the ongoing health challenges within the royal family.
Notably, Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, recently underwent planned abdominal surgery, while King Charles, who underwent prostate surgery shortly after, has been diagnosed with cancer.
Given past instances of royal events coinciding with those involving the Sussexes, speculation abounds regarding the strategic timing of such occurrences.
In light of this, PR expert Ashley Rudd has cautioned Meghan on the importance of timing her podcast releases thoughtfully. Rudd emphasized the need for consideration regarding recurring events aligned with the Royal Family, such as Trooping the Colour and birthdays.
Rudd advised against releasing podcast episodes during these periods, warning that doing so could be perceived as an attempt to overshadow royal events, potentially leading to negative public sentiment, damage to the podcast's reputation, and unwelcome attention.
