Meghan Markle is making sure Spotify podcast is not 'kiss of death' to career

Meghan Markle projects with Spotify are pushed in the wake of 'quality control'.

The Duchess of Sussex, who was supposedly set to release her podcast Archetypes under the multimillion-dollar deal with the music giant, is delaying her project to ensure she delivers the best quality.

Brand and reputation management expert Eric Schiffer told Express.co.uk: "I imagine they are working on making sure that it's a product of excellence so that it's not a threat to the survival of their partnership [with Spotify] and it won't be the kiss of death of their entertainment career.

"They are focusing on quality right now."

He continued: "If you try to get a career in entertainment and your shows are bombing, that doesn't help you.

"Nor does it help the partnership with Spotify."

He added: "They are going to be careful and making sure that it is done with quality.

"Her base will be there when it's out."
