Meghan Markle’s Spotify podcast Archetypes is gearing up to return in the coming days, however there have been reports she is changing the content of some “insensitive” episodes following Queen Elizabeth’s death.

The Duchess of Sussex has undergone a four-week hiatus from her newly released podcast series out of respect, following the Queen’s death on September 8.

In response, Spotify announced the new episodes would be “paused during the official mourning period” which ended on September 26.

Now it’s been announced that the next episode will be released Tuesday, October 4 and will feature comedian Margaret Cho to discuss Asian-American figures in the entertainment industry.

“I have also heard that there are edits being made to Meghan’s upcoming podcast interviews to ensure that nothing insensitive or insulting is said in the direction of the royal family,” Royal expert Kinsey Schofield told GB News.

The American journalist also noted Prince Harry is allegedly rushing to make changes to his memoir following his grandmothers passing.

His book was scheduled for release in late 2022, but it’s publication date has since been pushed back to early 2023.

Sources have also suggested King Charles III is waiting for Prince Harry’s memoir before deciding whether Archie and Lilibet should have their prince and princess royal titles.

Although the contents of Prince Harry’s memoir has not yet been confirmed, it is believed his relationship with his father King Charles will be a primary feature.

Royal tradition dictates that the grandchildren of a monarch automatically inherit the titles of princess and prince. However, Prince Harry and Meghan’s children are still listed without titles on the official royal website.

Royal author Katie Nicholl revealed the King could refuse to provide Archie and Lilibet their titles, or at least limit how they use them.

She also made the same claim that King Charles is waiting to see how the Duke and Duchess of Sussex behave in the first few months of his reign before making any final decisions.

“It depends a lot on what happens in the coming months, particularly with Harry’s book and their TV show,” she told Vanity Fair.
