Meghan Markle’s Spotify Podcast: A Chance to Settle Scores

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has recently released her first Spotify podcast episode.

According to showbiz journalist Kinsey Schofield, the podcast was a chance for Meghan to settle scores after being attacked in a new book written by royal biographer Tom Bauer.

In his book entitled Revenge About Meghan Markle's Life, Bauer claimed that Meghan was ambitious and scheming.

In response, Ms. Schofield believes that the podcast was an opportunity for Meghan to push back against these accusations and hit back at Bauer.

Ms. Schofield claims that Meghan's podcast episode was a direct attack against Bauer's claims.

She points out that Meghan calls out the labels, archetypes, and boxes that people are put into, which she reads as a direct attack against Bauer's claims that Meghan was very scheming and clever in marrying Prince Harry to further her celebrity status.

Furthermore, Bauer's book paints Meghan as overly demanding in her work life and a woke killjoy socially, while Harry is described as having contempt for Prince William and Kate Middleton.

Bauer even went so far as to state that he would welcome the book harming the Sussexes reputationally, citing the damage he believes they have done to the monarchy.

In her podcast, Meghan explains how distressed she felt upon hearing that the nursery where Archie was sleeping caught fire.

The baby was saved as his nanny was in the kitchen with him when the blaze began.

Meghan said that she and Harry were so unsettled that they asked to cancel their afternoon engagement in order to stay with their son, but were told it would be bad optics to do so.

Ms. Schofield also refers to the fact that Bauer questions Meghan's Procter & Gamble story and claims that Serena Williams told a media contact that they weren't necessarily good friends.

In the podcast, Meghan goes into all of these things in the very first episode.

Moreover, Ms. Schofield claims that Meghan's podcast was an opportunity for her to settle scores with Bauer.

She believes that the claim of Meghan being criticized for being ambitious is unfounded, as marrying a prince is hitting the jackpot and winning the lottery.

Meghan also shares the traumatic fire incident in Archie's nursery in South Africa, expressing regret that people focus on how it looks rather than how it feels.

She emphasizes the importance of having some understanding of the human moments behind the scenes that people might not have any awareness of and to give each other a break.

In a tweet, BuzzFeed News Ellie Hall confirms that Prince Harry and Meghan did have two engagements during their first day in South Africa, silencing rumors of Meghan prioritizing royal duties over her baby.

Ms. Hall tweeted that Meghan and Harry were so unsettled that they asked to cancel their afternoon engagement in order to stay with their son, but were told it would be bad optics to do so.

In conclusion, Meghan Markle's Spotify podcast was a chance for her to settle scores after being attacked in a new book.

According to showbiz journalist Kinsey Schofield, the podcast was an opportunity for Meghan to push back against accusations made by royal biographer Tom Bauer.

The podcast episode was a direct attack against Bauer's claims, and Meghan used the platform to share her traumatic experience with the fire incident in Archie's nursery.
