Meghan Markle’s thinly-veiled swipe at royals was brutal ‘parting shot’

In Meghan Markle’s final farewell episode of her Archetypes series, she ended the reading with a quote by a Greek poet, and some believe it was aimed at her royal relatives.

Meghan Markle managed to have her last word about the Royal Family during the final episode of her Archetypes podcast series on Spotify, by reading a quote from a famous Greek poet – a message which was supposedly aimed at the Firm.

During Meghan’s final episode, she talked to TV producer Andy Cohen, movie director Judd Apatow, and comedian Trevor Noah.

As she signed off from her final episode, Meghan concluded with the words: “Many moons ago I heard a quote that I will share with you today because as we talk about labels, tropes and boxes that some may try to squeeze you into and roles and stereotypes that are attributed to you that don’t quite fit the full person that you are, this ‘what didn’t you do to bury me? But you forgot that I was a seed’.”

She added: “To that point my friend, keep growing and I’ll see you on the flip side. As ever, I’m Meghan.”

It is believed the quote originates from the Greek poet, Dinos Christianopoulos. Meghan’s podcast, Archetypes, ran for 12 episodes and saw the Duchess of Sussex interviewing many celebrities including tennis legend Serena Williams, singer Mariah Carey, and Bollywood actress, Deepika Padukone.

According to a royal expert and biographer, the quote was thought to be aimed at members of the Firm. Speaking to The Sun, Phil Dampier said: “I’m sure that it was a veiled reference to the restrictions of the Royal Family. It’s a clever way of doing it because she’s not directly saying something but people can still read into it what they like. Then if anyone takes offence she can say ‘oh I didn’t mean it like that.'”

Meghan’s multi-million podcast deal was suddenly dropped by Spotify, with the Sussexes labelled as “grifters” by an executive at the streaming platform.

The Duke and Duchess “mutually agreed to part ways” with Spotify, in a shock announcement on June 16, 2023.

Meghan now has a new podcast deal with Lemonada Media which was announced back in February, with the 42-year-old expressing her excitement at making a return to the podcasting world.

A statement on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s website, sussex.com read: “I’m proud to now be able to share that I am joining the brilliant team at Lemonada to continue my love of podcasting.”

It has been a busy year for content production for the Montecito-based duo, Harry and Meghan, as they are also filming two new Netflix shows.

Meghan’s upcoming series is set to “celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship”. This series is likely to coincide with Meghan’s launch of her latest business venture – lifestyle brand, ‘American Riviera Orchard’.

Whereas Prince Harry’s series is said to “provide viewers unprecedented access to the world of professional polo”. Prince Harry’s best friend, Nacho Figueras, has spilled the beans about the Duke of Sussex’s upcoming Netflix series, stating: “I cannot think of many people that can be better than him to be the kickoff of this storytelling.”

The show will be made by the couple’s Archewell Productions company and will also give an insight into the US Open Polo Championships in Florida, Netflix said.
