Multiple Celebrities Decline Collaboration with Meghan Markle Amid Brand Challenges

Meghan Markle is currently facing significant challenges in her post-royal career endeavors. Her latest podcast, 'Confessions of a Female Founder,' produced by Lemonada Media, has encountered overwhelmingly negative public response, with a recent poll showing the vast majority of listeners uninterested in a second season. Meanwhile, Meghan has struggled to attract high-profile collaborators for her projects, with notable figures like Dolly Parton reportedly declining to participate in her Netflix series 'With Love, Meghan,' and other celebrities such as Taylor Swift and Beyoncé similarly distancing themselves. Additionally, Meghan's strained relationships within the royal family continue, exemplified by Princess Eugenie's decision not to follow or publicly acknowledge Meghan on Instagram, including not sending birthday wishes to Eugenie's son. These developments follow long-standing critiques of Meghan's behavior and public image since joining the royal family, including reports of unroyal conduct and fractured friendships. Overall, Meghan's attempts to pivot into media and business ventures are being met with skepticism and resistance from both the public and peers.
