Things are spiraling downwards for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The Sussexes began their new career in Hollywood with a grand entry, signing several million-dollar deals with big names like Disney, Spotify, and Netflix. Eyes were on the Duchess as she split beans on everything that the paparazzi has been writing since her marriage to the ‘Spare’ writer.

Whether it be her Oprah interview or her first Archetypes session with friend and sportsman Serena Williams, Markle gained a name more prominent than she did before her marriage. While the podcast enjoyed being on top of the Spotify list, the company decided to end the $20 million deal. Several speculations began pouring, and the latest one was rather shocking.

Securing a multi-million dollar deal was certainly easier than maintaining it. Meghan Markle managed to have guests like Serena Williams, Mindy Kaling, Paris Hilton, etc. on the first season of her Archetypes podcast. However, according to the New York Post, a source revealed how the podcast was faked occasionally. Meaning, Markle did a voice-over, and that members of her team did some of the actual interviews. It all began with writer Allison Yarrow’s inclusion in the season. It appeared as if her parts were woven into the episodes instead of the interviewer directly talking to her.

So while the Suits actress interviewed the celebrities, she likely did the voice-over for the parts that included other expert guests. Rumors began ever since the episode called To ‘B’ or Not To ‘B‘. This episode required guests as the topic revolved around how women are called difficult for being tough.

Apparently, Prince Harry was not involved as he was supposed to be since the couple were signed together for Archetypes. While Archewell and Spotify released a joint statement about ending the deal, the Sussexes have been accused of not creating enough content.

Bill Simmons went full vocal, even accusing them of being ‘grifters’. They reportedly did not create enough content to earn the $20 million that they were supposed to be paid. Markle has promised to continue work somewhere else, but with the new voiceover accusations, it will be seen how she responds.
