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.”
