Meghan Markle’s new podcast already hits snag — why it’s pushed back to 2025

Meghan Markle’s podcast has been “pushed back” until next year, according to reports.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, in February inked a deal with Lemonada Media to launch a new podcast series after Spotify decided not to renew the steep $20 million deal for a second season of “Archetypes.”

Lemonada will now distribute her previous Spotify podcast series to all platforms.

“The relaunch of Meghan’s ‘Archetypes’ podcast got pushed back to 2025,” a source told the Daily Mail.

The “smaller podcast company is struggling to get off the starting blocks,” the insider shared, adding that the company does not want the podcast’s launch to be overshadowed by the “Suits” alum’s new Netflix series.

The Post has reached out to Lemonada Media and reps for Markle and Prince Harry for comment.

The Sussexes inked a lucrative $100 million deal with Netflix back in 2020. Since signing on the dotted line, the couple released their bombshell six-part documentary “Harry & Meghan” in 2022, followed by “Live To Lead,” and most recently, “Heart of Invictus.”

Their Archewell Productions company announced two new series are in the “early stages” of production at Netflix.

Markle’s show, which began filming last week, will “celebrate the joys of cooking and gardening, entertaining, and friendship.”

The other project is centered around polo and will “provide viewers unprecedented access to the world of professional polo.” Harry will not star in the series but is reportedly expected to make cameos.

The couple stayed at a luxury $8,000-per-night hotel in Palm Beach last week to film some content for the equestrian-centered show.

Last month, the mom of two announced her new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard to the world with an Instagram post teasing its impending launch.

Markle also launched a website for the brand which is currently blank, asking visitors to provide their email if they want to be notified about “products, availability, and updates.”

Additionally, a trademark application reveals the brand plans to sell tableware, drinkware, decanters, kitchen linens and edible treats such as jellies, jams, marmalade and spreads.

The trademark application is awaiting examination and is seeking approval for cookbooks.

It’s understood that Lemonada Media is concerned about “scheduling conflicts” between Markle’s Netflix series and her new lifestyle venture.

While products from her new brand are not available for purchase just yet, Markle spent much of last week sending out jars of strawberry jam from the new brand, which is set to come to fruition later this year.

The former actress sent out lemon-filled gift baskets containing fresh fruit jam to 50 of her friends ahead of the brand’s official launch.

Mindy Kaling, an award-winning actress and friend of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, actress Tracee Ellis Ross, and Markle’s longtime pal and “Suits” co-star Abigail Spencer were three of few people who received a jam jar from Markle.

Designer Tracy Robbins and Argentinian model Delfina Blaquier, the wife of Prince Harry’s close friend and polo player Nacho Figueras, also received Markle’s strawberry condiment.

According to those close to the royal, the brand’s name is a sweet nod to Santa Barbara, California, as it has been nicknamed the “American Riviera” for over a century.

The location is also where Markle and her husband reside with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
