Royal Podcast Paused in Honor of Queen Elizabeth’s Passing

In response to the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth, Meghan Markle has made the decision to halt the production of new episodes for her podcast.

Meghan Markle and Spotify have jointly agreed to suspend the release of upcoming episodes of Archetypes following the demise of Queen Elizabeth, as confirmed by Eastern Time.

A statement announcing the temporary pause in new episodes during the official mourning period for Her Majesty The Queen has been prominently displayed on the Archetypes About page.

The popular podcast, which debuted just last month, quickly soared to the top of the charts in multiple countries including the US, UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.

Archetypes releases a new episode every Tuesday, featuring conversations with prominent figures such as Mindy Kaling, Mariah Carey, and Serena Williams.

Future guest appearances are expected from Constance Wu, Issa Rae, Lisa Ling, Margaret Cho, and Ziwar.

Meanwhile, in the UK, Meghan Markle stands by her husband's side as they mourn the loss of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away at the age of 96.

Over the weekend, Markle and Prince Harry joined Prince William and Kate Middleton in front of Windsor Castle to pay their respects and observe the floral tributes left by well-wishers.

The unexpected gathering of the royal family members was deemed a crucial display of unity during this challenging time.

Prior to the public appearance, Prince William reached out to Harry and Meghan, inviting them to join him and Kate for the solemn occasion.

Sources close to the royal family revealed that Prince Charles viewed the joint appearance as a significant gesture of familial solidarity amidst the grief.

Both couples are reportedly residing at Windsor Castle for the time being.

As the royal family navigates through this period of mourning, uncertainties loom over the potential attendance of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet at Queen Elizabeth's funeral.

The aftermath of Meghan and Harry's attempt to distance themselves from the royal family, known as Megxit, continues to resonate.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's initial efforts to initiate Megxit via email were met with disapproval, leading to their eventual departure from their official royal duties.

Despite their decision to step back from royal responsibilities, the Duke and Duchess faced challenges in their attempts to formalize their exit.

Their discontent with the existing royal setup prompted them to seek a new life in North America.

However, communication hurdles within the royal family delayed the resolution, with Prince Charles' perceived inflexibility exacerbating the situation.

Ultimately, Buckingham Palace confirmed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's departure from their official royal roles after discussions with Queen Elizabeth.

The monarch acknowledged the impossibility of continuing their public service duties outside the royal family structure.

Consequently, the couple's military appointments and royal patronages will be relinquished and redistributed among active royal members.

While the royal family acknowledges and respects the Duke and Duchess' decision, they remain cherished members of the family despite their altered roles.

Express.co.uk has reached out to Archwell and Buckingham Palace for further insights on this ongoing development.

The legacy of Queen Elizabeth's reign endures as the royal family adapts to the changing dynamics within its ranks.
