Meghan Markle Receives Caution Ahead of Upcoming Project
Royal biographer Angela Levin has issued a stern warning to Meghan Markle regarding a pivotal commitment surrounding her forthcoming podcast endeavor.
The Duchess of Sussex recently captivated audiences with the announcement of her collaboration with Lemonada Media to launch a new podcast, following the unexpected conclusion of her lucrative Spotify deal.
Amidst conjecture surrounding the former Suits star's latest venture, insiders revealed to Us Weekly that Meghan is intent on avoiding a purely "entertainment-driven" podcast, deeming herself "too academic" for such endeavors.
Speaking on GB News, royal biographer Angela Levin expressed concerns, noting, "In her previous podcast, it was essentially a monologue focused solely on herself. If she intends to rehash the same narratives about her life, it could prove detrimental. Audiences crave fresh perspectives."
Levin further observed a shift in the public relations strategy of the California-based couple, transitioning from a narrative of victimhood to one emphasizing positivity and connection with the Royal Family. She remarked, "Their new approach is centered on portraying themselves as positive contributors, aligning with the values of the Royal Family."
The podcast initiative is seen as a strategic move by the Sussexes to solidify their presence in Hollywood post their withdrawal from official royal duties in 2020.
Sources close to the Duchess disclosed her intention to engage in introspection and delve into personal aspects of her life with her guests. Emphasizing a philanthropic focus, they shared, "Meghan aims to use the platform primarily for discussions on philanthropic endeavors."
This announcement comes in the wake of revelations by Omid Scobie in his book, "Endgame," where he detailed Meghan's feelings of displacement in the UK, stating her reluctance to return to England.
As Meghan Markle prepares to embark on this new venture, she faces not only the expectations of her audience but also the imperative to deliver on her commitment to authenticity and purpose in her podcasting pursuits.
