The much talked-about Spotify podcast, Archetypes with Meghan Markle has been breaching the headlines currently much more than it did when it hit the screens. Following the unhappy split with the Swedish giant, the swirling controversies around the Sussexes have put a major question mark on all their endeavors. The twelve-episode Archetypes with Meghan Markle undoubtedly did wonders, sweeping two esteemed awards to its name. However, the target audience does not think as highly of it as such. 

The British television broadcast, Talk TV recently conducted an open mic questionnaire with some of the UK commoners. Turns out, the dip in popularity of the Duchess in the English society is quite real. The responses received by the people were strikingly contradictory to the fanfare of the Sussex couple in America. While the Duchess has received all the fame and glory in her native country, people across the pool have not heard of her works in the first place. 

As is seen in the survey, many of them apparently had no idea that Archetypes with Meghan Markle existed in the first place. While the reporter went around asking multiple people, the answer remained the same all throughout. Barring a few, no one had paid any heed to what the Sussexes were up to or what Archetypes was really all about. Given the lack of knowledge of the same, it was only natural that some of them had no opinions on the latest fallout of the podcast with its host, Spotify. 

Nonetheless, the success of the podcast still stands its ground.

How famous was Archetypes with Meghan Markle? 

The abrupt end to the 20 million dollar deal might indicate to some that Meghan Markle’s Archetypes was a flop. However, back in 2021, the podcast with its stellar guest line up broke the charts for being one of the most-listened podcasts of the year. More so, its premiere week spoke for itself as Archetypes remained in the top charts for days on end since last August. 

That was not all. Soon after it ended with a groundbreaking finale speech by Duchess, Archetypes went on to win People’s Choice of Best Podcast of the Year. Adding to it was Markle’s other award sweep at the Gracies as she won the Best Host award for Archetypes, yet again.
