After Duchess Meghan finally debuted her inaugural podcast last week, questions are being raised over whether her reported $26 million paycheque was worth it.
Sources close to the former actress and her husband Prince Harry suspect the 12-episode Archetypes – a play on their three-year-old son Archie’s name – will “end in tears” for the couple, with scrutiny flooding in from all corners of the globe.
In her debut episode focusing on ambitious women, the 41-year-old waxed lyrical with her longtime friend, tennis champion Serena Williams, about how she didn’t know “ambition” was a negative word until she began dating her royal husband.
DANGEROUS MOVE
Scrutiny flooded in about the 55-minute episode, ranging from Today host Ally Langdon describing it as “just another way she can talk about herself”, while The Times podcast reviewer James Marriott assessed it as “almost entirely preposterous”.
“Spotify must be left wondering if they’ve spent their money wisely,” he writes for the British newspaper.
Woman’s Day has learned exclusively that 37-year-old Harry, too, is questioning whether it’s all worth it.
