Last summer, the Duchess of Sussex’s Archetypes podcast debuted. It was an immediate hit, and the royal ecosystem was in a full-blown panic for months. Royal reporters were crying about how Meg’s lil podcast was a “smack in the face” and even Omid Scobie noted that the palace was not calm nor carrying on about Archetypes. They screamed and cried about Meghan’s podcast, they called it narcissistic and tacky, and they gave it millions of dollars of free media. Well, now Sarah Ferguson has announced that she’ll do a podcast as well. And the response has been… crickets.
Sarah Ferguson will be spilling the tea on a new podcast! On Monday, the Duchess of York, 63, announced the launch of a new weekly podcast called Tea Talks with the Duchess & Sarah, out next week. Fergie, as the Duchess of York is affectionately known, is co-hosting the show with entrepreneur Sarah Thomson, and the friends said they won’t shy from any subject.
“It’s about time we spilled the tea… our brand new podcast ‘Tea Talks with the Duchess & Sarah’ is out next week on all streaming platforms,” Fergie wrote on Instagram Monday, linking to the new program from Viral Tribe Entertainment.
According to Tea Talks’ Spotify profile, audiences can look forward to “candid conversations” from the co-hosts “as they spill the tea on the roller coaster of life. With a cup of tea in hand, each week you’ll hear about the week’s hot topics, as the hosts share their thoughts and perspectives on everyday issues. The duo will also be joined by special guests and share personal insights to listeners’ dilemmas,” the page states. “These two great friends will approach everything with infectious enthusiasm and a healthy dose of humour. The Duchess and Sarah promise to leave no stone unturned, and no biscuit un-dunked.”
So, a podcast specifically about the news and gossip of the day, some of which will likely include royal gossip? And no one is saying anything, no one is panicking, no one is calling this tacky or a slap in the face to the Windsors? Don’t get me wrong, I doubt Fergie will actually say anything harmful to the Windsors, but it’s still pretty tacky. I’ve also believed for some time now that Fergie has been shocked with the way Harry and Meghan have launched their brand in America and she’s been trying to replicate their moves for a while.
