Meghan Markle’s upcoming marks a significant step in her post-royal career, but will challenge her to remain “engaged, humble, and interesting” to an audience that has come to expect sensationalist royal bombshells, an entertainment expert has told Regalrumination.com.

Meghan announced a new partnership with the Lemonada Media audio production company in February 2024, after eight months earlier.

At the time the new partnership was announced, Meghan said in a news release that she was proud to be joining the female-founded company and that she was working on a “dynamic new podcast,” which she was “eager to be able to share” soon.

“Her newly strengthened PR team will advise of no more royal bombshells, with more substantive content over sensationalism, so to better use her acting skills at the highest level on each project is imperative. Meghan must remain engaged, humble, and interesting, whilst trying to blend personal insight with universal appeal.”

“The first two episodes [of Meghan’s upcoming podcast] will give us a good idea of the direction as to what will follow, but I would expect rigorous feedback will come from the first podcast,” Boardman said. “Positive feedback will be crucial and key in securing lasting success in the podcasting industry.”
