On March 24, Spotify shared a trailer for Meghan Markle’s next podcast, titled “Archetypes“, the broadcast of which will begin next July. After signing a juicy multimillion-dollar contract two years ago, subscribers to the streaming giant were expecting a little more than the 30 minutes she released with her husband, Prince Harry, and their son, Archie, in December 2020. They will soon have something to listen to.
New accusation of plagiarism
Unfortunately, the new content offered by the Duchess of Sussex is already attracting controversy… Indeed, this Thursday, Meghan Markle promised her listeners to dissect, explore, and reverse the labels that are too often stuck on women , and which hold them back and hinder their emancipation. The problem is that she would have been inspired by a book she did not write, to do it.

According to Richard Eden, columnist for the DailyMailMeghan Markle would have pumped “Archetypes: who are you?“, by his compatriot Caroline Myss, published in 2014. And inevitably, after an initial copyright controversy launched by the publication of his children’s book, “The Bench“, in 2021, that’s a bit much… Remember, last year, the work adapted from a poem she had written for Harry on Father’s Day, had been compared to “The boy on the bench” by Corrine Averiss. The latter had to come to the aid of Meghan Markle, by pointing out the differences in their story, to exonerate him.
Added value
For “Archetypes”Meghan Markle announces that she will have “conversations with women who know all too well how these typographies shape our stories“. She will also speak “atux historians to understand how we even got here in the first place“. The haters will not be able to say that she did not get to work!
