Meghan Markle's return to the spotlight with her podcast Archetypes has hit a major roadblock, as multiple A-list celebrities have reportedly turned down invitations to appear on the show. Sources claim the Duchess of Sussex faced a series of high-profile rejections, leaving her team scrambling to secure big names.
Hollywood's Cold Shoulder
Despite Meghan's star power and connections, several top-tier celebrities allegedly declined to participate in her podcast. Insiders suggest that some stars were wary of associating with the controversial royal, while others simply had scheduling conflicts.
Who Said No?
While the exact names remain under wraps, rumours swirl that several Oscar winners and globally recognised icons were among those who passed on the opportunity. The rejections have reportedly caused frustration within Meghan's camp, as they hoped the podcast would solidify her status as a serious media personality.
Spotify Deal Under Scrutiny
This setback comes amid growing scrutiny of Meghan and Prince Harry's lucrative deal with Spotify. Critics have questioned whether the couple can deliver content worthy of their rumoured £18 million agreement. The lack of star power on Archetypes may fuel further doubts about the project's viability.
Fan Reactions Divided
Royal fans have reacted strongly to the news, with some expressing sympathy for Meghan while others see it as proof that her Hollywood appeal may be fading. Social media has been buzzing with speculation about why so many stars would decline to work with the former Suits actress.
As the podcast's launch approaches, all eyes will be on whether Meghan can turn things around and deliver the star-studded lineup audiences expect from someone of her profile.
