Princess Aen has made the shocking decision to appear on a competitor’s podcast, Cab Bono’s Noble Conversations, effectively snubbing her cousin-in-law Megan Marlein.
This move has been criticized by royal watchers worldwide, as it has caused quite a commotion at the Sussex Estate.
Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend and well-connected socialite in British High Society, Eugene Bonos, announced the launch of her new podcast series, which has been struggling to maintain relevance in the podcast world after her Spotify deal collapsed.
The timing could not be more painful for Megan, who has been pitching a new podcast series to various platforms after her lucrative Spotify deal ended abruptly last year.
Industry insiders suggest that Megan’s new podcast ventures have faced limited reception, making Princess Aeni’s decision to appear on a competitor’s show speaks volumes about the current state of relationships within the Royal Family Circle.
The complicated history between all parties involved in the situation is further complicated by the fact that Eugene was always seen as the bridge between the sexes and the rest of the royal family. The launch of a competing Royal adjacent podcast represents not just a personal betrayal but a direct business threat.
Megan has been trying to establish herself as the authentic voice of the modern Royal experience, and having a genie validate a competing platform undermines that unique selling position.
The tension has reportedly spilled over into the Sussex Professional Circle, with members of their Aule team scrambling to adjust their content strategy in light of the competing podcast. Royal Watchers note that this could represent a turning point in the royal family’s relationship with the Duchess of Sussex.
