Meghan Markle makes huge announcement on work project as she's 'spread too thin'
The Duchess of Sussex has announced that her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, will not be returning for a second season anytime soon.
Meghan Markle has made a significant announcement about the future of her podcast, confessing that she's been "spread too thin" with her various ventures.
The Duchess of Sussex candidly admitted this during a heart-to-heart conversation with Emma Grede on her Aspire podcast. Meghan disclosed that her own podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, won't be returning for a second series anytime soon, as she shifts her focus more towards her lifestyle brand As Ever.
She initially inked the deal with Lemonada Media in 2024 for her podcast, which premiered in April, with 12 episodes broadcast within a few months. Meghan recognised "that there is so much excitement and desire for another season" of the podcast, but added, "I need to focus on my business. People seem to forget that very rarely do people see everything that's happening behind the scenes", reports the Mirror.
The podcast was launched simultaneously as Meghan's lifestyle brand As Ever announced its first product release, which Meghan described as "was perfect synergy". She reflected on the hectic period in her life as she balanced her multiple businesses, stating: "As I knew I was in this building phase of my business, what an amazing opportunity to pull back the curtain and let people see what's happening at the start, when all the twists and turns are there."
The Duchess of Sussex spoke about her experiences as a female founder and entrepreneur, saying: "For me to have the opportunity to talk to so many female founders who've been on that full trajectory-that are on the other side of success, but still at certain chapters in their career and their growth-but to be able to be really candid and vulnerable personally about my learns and stumbles along the way and then to take everyone's advice-and mine included."
Meghan is also working on the second season of her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, which is due to air later this year. During a conversation with podcast host Emma Grede, Meghan joked: "At a certain point, the only thing I want spread thin is my jam."
The news about the podcast's future comes after Meghan announced that her lifestyle brand, As Ever, will be launching new products. On the brand's Instagram page, she hinted at a new collection, saying that "delicious surprises" are in store for the second launch.
Meghan wrote: "Oh yes, honey...sweet things await. We're bringing back your favorites, plus some delicious surprises you won't want to miss!" The new range will be available on June 20 at 8am PT (4pm UK time), and Meghan told her followers to "mark your calendars".
Meghan accompanied the caption with a photo of a stack of pancakes smothered in sweet raspberries and a generous helping of honey, fuelling speculation that her sought-after honey, as well as her popular jams, may soon be back on sale.
In a newsletter to fans, she expressed her gratitude, saying: "First off, a sincere thank you for making the debut of As ever absolutely extraordinary. We had a feeling there would be excitement, but to see everything sell out in less than an hour was an amazing surprise."
She went on to reveal that on June 20th, they will be restocking the products that fans love, along with some new tasty surprises, adding that "so much love has gone into this".

Justin and Hailey Bieber's Father's Day 'ends in row as she calls him a child'
Justin Bieber, who spent his Father's Day sharing wild rants, was reportedly branded a 'f***ing child' by wife Hailey amid concerns to their marriage The recent Father's Day was seemingly not a celebratory occasion for Justin Bieber after he spent the day posting erratic messages on social media. On Sunday, Justin got his phone out and went on a wild rant in which he confessed to being 'broken', 'angry' and 'exhausted' from 'thinking about himself all the time'. While most people shared wholesome family snaps of their children and partners, Justin completely snubbed wife Hailey, who he previously admitted he once told her she would never be on the cover of Vogue. On the day, he shared snaps of himself holding what appeared to be a joint and later told fans he was "a dad that's not to be f***ed with." He then shared multiple photos of his lavish gifts, including an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch, which retails for $38,000, two Prada backpacks and an Apple laptop. However, captioning the eye-wateringly expensive haul he wrote: "Happy daddies day to me u lil ho," with many thinking the crude remark was a dig at wife, Hailey. Hailey took a swipe at him in the comment section following his brutal remark to her on Mother's Day where he posed: "Mother's Day sucks a**." She responded under his post: "Father's Day sucks a**." And now, according to recent reports, his wife Hailey was 'beyond furious' about his erratic posts and branded him a "f***ing child" before asking him to get professional help. Speaking to The Sun, an insider claimed the post 'set her off' as she told him 'it was one of the dumbest things he's ever done'. "She's been telling him for a while to get help - see a therapist, talk to someone who can help him manage his anger and mood swings. Hailey didn't want him to post that message," they said. "She's fed up with his childish behaviour and the constant negativity he brings onto himself. She told him to stop being a 'f***ing child' and to finally start listening to the people who care about him." Many of Justin's fans were convinced that his Father's Day posts, shared over a worrying six-hour spree, were the result of his dramatic mental health spiral. They were followed at 5.50am last week by a long Instagram story in which he confessed to being 'broken', 'angry' and 'exhausted' from thinking about himself all the time. He told fans: "People keep telling me to heal. Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already. I know I'm broken. I know I have anger issues. 'The harder I try to grow, the more focused on myself I am. Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others. Because honestly, I'm exhausted with thinking about myself lately, aren't you?,' the post concluded.

Will tag the details!" One follower commented: "LOVVVVVVE the specs, I got mine 2 years ago and can't be without the accessory now! They are cute." Another added: "all the best people wear glasses!" While a third added: "You look absolutely beautiful holly with glasses." A fourth remarked: "Looking lovely good to see you." It comes as Holly recently looked happier than ever as she posed in a bikini and cuddled two pals. The star couldn't stop smiling as she sat on the floor with her arms wrapped around Director of Artist Relations at Universal Music, Shiarra Bell, and All Saints star Nicole Appleton. Posting the snap to Instagram, she kept the caption simple with a single red heart emoji, tagging both friends. Holly Willoughby proves blondes do have more fun as she dyes her own hair The former This Morning host's celeb buddies filled the comments section with their well wishes. Emma Bunton wrote: "There's my gorgeous girls!!!" while Lisa Snowdon said: "The cutest pic!" and Christine Lampard inserted a string of heart-eyed emojis. Meanwhile, it has been a testing few years for the former ITV treasure - as she has been left without a TV show for the first time in years. One option for the star could be a reboot of Record Breakers, which Holly's husband Dan Baldwin is already working on. There is currently no channel attached to the show, which is in its very early stages but sources say it would be a "perfect fit". A telly insider said: "Record Breakers is likely to be a prime time hit and it would make perfect sense for Holly to take the reins. "She has worked alongside Dan before and the pair know what it takes to make great telly." She has also been linked to a reboot of Cilla Black's best-known show, Blind Date. The Sun told this week how the ITV classic is being revived - and in a surprise twist will go to global streaming service Disney+. Producers want to keep the tradition of a top British female host, with a shortlist also including Claudia Winkleman and Davina McCall. Sources say Holly is also being looked at for a new Channel 4 talent show, currently dubbed Secret Singers, which is searching for raw, undiscovered singing talent. Love Productions - the creators of The Great British Bake Off and The Piano - have already put out a casting call. An insider said: "This is likely to be a heartwarming and hugely popular show for all the family. "They are looking for a the perfect host to make sure it's a huge success and it could be perfect timing with Holly's break in TV."
