Megan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is facing a challenging task in her efforts to attract guests to feature on her Spotify podcast, according to a royal commentator.
The first episode of her podcast, titled “The Misconception of Ambition,” was launched recently with tennis star Serena Williams as the guest.
The episode delved into topics like motherhood, pregnancy, and the barriers women face in achieving success.
Despite the promising start, Megan is now encountering difficulties in securing compelling guests for her show, as noted by royal expert Neil Sean.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Neil Sean highlighted the struggle Megan is facing in finding willing participants for her podcast.
He mentioned that not everyone is eager to be a part of the show, including Princess Beatrice, a close friend of Megan and Prince Harry.
Princess Beatrice and her sister, Princess Eugenie, have been quietly working to mend rifts with Megan and Harry amidst ongoing tensions within the royal family, as shared by royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams.
However, Neil Sean cautioned that inviting Princess Beatrice onto the podcast could be a risky move due to potential scrutiny and limitations on what she can discuss.
With the pressure mounting to secure engaging content for her podcast, Megan is actively seeking to add a touch of royal allure to her show.
Neil Sean emphasized the importance of attracting high-profile guests to maintain listener interest and uphold the value of the reported $18 million deal with Spotify.
Royal expert Duncan Larcombe expressed concerns over the potential impact of Megan’s podcast on the royal family, describing it as the beginning of a 12-week battle.
Larcombe suggested that the podcast could be more damaging than the infamous Oprah interview, as it allows Megan full control over the narrative and content.
Tom Sykes, a correspondent for the Daily Beast, speculated that Megan’s podcast might serve as a precursor to Prince Harry’s upcoming memoir, causing unease among the royals.
The timing of the podcast’s final episode, coinciding with Harry’s book launch, has raised suspicions about potential revelations that could shake the royal establishment.
While reports suggest that Harry’s memoir launch may be delayed until 2023, speculations about its content continue to circulate.
An inside source hinted at possible “truth bombs” in the memoir, indicating that Harry is deliberating on the sensitive information to include.
The anticipation surrounding both Megan and Harry’s endeavors ensures that the royal drama remains unpredictable and captivating.
