Meghan Markle’s new podcast has been met with disappointment and criticism on social media, as users claim that they have already heard the content before.

The podcast begins with Meghan recounting a childhood story in which she wrote to a soap company whose TV advertisement had offended her.

The ad was subsequently changed from “Women Fighting Greece” to “People Fighting Greece” after an interview on the kids channel Nickelodeon.

However, many social media users were quick to point out that this anecdote was not new information.

One Twitter user expressed their frustration, stating that they wanted to turn off the podcast after only 20 seconds upon hearing the story once again.

Another Twitter user, Red 3008, shared their disappointment, saying, “So, Meghan’s podcast landed.

I can’t have an opinion unless I listen, so I took a deep breath and went for it.

Oh.

My.

God.

I was ready to turn off after 20 seconds when I heard the, yawn, soap ad story yet again.

And could take no more after 1 minute 21 seconds.”

Several others agreed with this sentiment.

Natalie Bridge, a Twitter user, revealed that she couldn’t bear to listen to the podcast, describing it as “rubbish” with fake giggles and pretending to be best friends.

She even fast-forwarded through it to see if it improved, but found no change.

Some individuals were even harsher in their criticism of the podcast.

HCQYKHC6GP sarcastically commented, “Closing a blackboard might be more interesting and less painful.”

Despite the negative reception, Meghan began the program by criticizing the soap ad from Procter and Gamble, a corporation that her and Prince Harry’s charity, the Archwell Foundation, has partnered with to focus on gender equality.

The ad from the 1990s claimed that women are fighting greasy pans.

James Marriott, writing for the Times, described Meghan’s podcast as “almost entirely preposterous.”

He characterized it as a collection of banalities, absurdities, and self-aggrandizing Californian platitudes, accompanied by tinkly music and vapid conversation.

He compared the experience to being locked in the relaxation room of a wellness spa with a self-involved yoga instructor.

Marriott admitted that even those who sympathize with Meghan may find themselves feeling grumpy, similar to how Paul Dacre composes a Daily Mail front page.

During the podcast, Meghan discusses the negative press coverage she has received, expressing her pain when things mischaracterize her.

Williams, her guest, acknowledges this pain but playfully challenges Meghan’s claim of fearlessness by pointing out her own fear of the sea.

This lighthearted exchange deviates from the serious tone expected by the listeners of Archetypes, resulting in a sense of futility and irritation.

It has been two years since Meghan and Harry signed an 18 million deal with Spotify, yet this is only the second episode they have produced for the platform.

Their previous effort focused on the power of connection but received a less grating response.

The executives at Spotify may now be questioning the wisdom of their investment, especially considering that it took a team of 28 people, including 8 executive producers, to create the episode.

Meghan herself is also listed as an executive producer in the credits.

Despite the disappointment, Sussex fans, who still exist in abundance, should not get their hopes up for the new series.

If the couple’s previous podcast is any indication, this may be all they have to offer.
