Meghan Markle's failed podcast torn to shreds as talent chief hits out at Duchess of Sussex

However, Spotify was not impressed by the output produced by the Sussexes and cut ties with the couple this month.

Now, Jeremy Zimmer, the head of the United Talent Agency, has taken a swipe at Meghan over the podcast.

Zimmer said: "Turns out Meghan Markle was not a great audio talent, or necessarily any kind of talent."

He added: "And, you know, just because you’re famous doesn’t make you great at something," according to the Semafor news website.

Meghan also sent a personal letter to Taylor Swift, asking her to appear on the Archetypes podcast as a guest.

But Swift decline the opportunity and did not work with the Duchess on her Spotify project.

Last week, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry suffered another blow as US officials refused to grant them a trademark on their Archetypes podcast.

The US Patent and Trademark Office refused to grant a trademark for the Archetypes podcast, on the grounds of confusion with an existing Arizonian company.

The Sussexes were seeking exclusive rights to the name Archetypes in relation to "downloadable audio recordings and podcasts" for anything concerning the "cultural treatment of women and stereotypes facing women".

However, a trademark for Archetypes LLC already exists, secured by an Arizonian firm in 2015 and granting use for a series of books and articles about 'nutrition, fitness, sexuality and psychological self-improvement.

Harry and Meghan also both failed to sign their application to the regulatory body.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as working members of the Royal Family 2020.

The couple signed several lucrative partnerships following their departure from the monarchy including deals with Netflix and Spotify.
