The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were damningly described as 'f*****g grifters' by a Spotify executive hours after the parting of the ways was announced between them and the audio giant last year.
So I'm sorry to hear that Meghan's new deal with a much smaller podcast company is struggling to get off the starting blocks.
Prince Harry's wife announced amid great fanfare in February that she had signed a deal with Lemonada Media, a female-founded company that wants to 'make life suck less'.
The Duchess, who produced only one series of her podcast Archetypes for Spotify before parting ways with the company, had signed with Lemonada to develop and host a new series.
However, a source tells me that there is not expected to be any work broadcast this year. 'The relaunch of Meghan's Archetypes podcast got pushed back to 2025,' the California-based source says.
