Meghan reportedly searched for a new home for her series, even shopping it around to Audible – Spotify’s main competitor. Finally, it’s found a home in the female-founded platform Lemonada.
In a statement released earlier this month, Meghan said: “I’m proud to now be able to share that I am joining the brilliant team at Lemonada to continue my love of podcasting.
Being able to support a female-founded company with a roster of thought-provoking and highly entertaining podcasts is a fantastic way to kick off 2024.”

Since the couple’s latest attempt at rebranding, they have made several appearances, from movie premieres to an Invictus event.

Let’s be honest, that’s the only way in which they’re going to retain relevancy and, you know, the only reason why people pay them any sort of attention is because of the role in which this institution provided for them.”
Several commentators weighed in during the “Why the World is Rejecting Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s rebrand” segment.
