Meghan Markle might be one of the most famous women on the planet — but Hollywood power players are purportedly less than impressed with her showbiz prowess.
The Duchess of Sussex, 42, is said to be scrambling after the launch of her forthcoming podcast with Lemonada Media was reportedly pushed back to next year.
According to In Touch, honchos at the company put the project on pause for fear that the upcoming launch of her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, would take attention away from her audio endeavors.
“Meghan gets greedy,” an inside source told the publication.
“She wants everything all at once, and it’s backfiring on her again. She’s become a total joke and is overplaying her hand.”

Lemonada execs are also allegedly worried that Markle’s upcoming Netflix cooking show will divert attention from the podcast.
“That clearly didn’t go down well with Lemonada,” the source stated.
“They surely expected to be Meghan’s priority project, but she must have decided she had bigger fish to fry with Netflix.”
The purported pushback of the podcast comes after Markle’s Spotify series “Archetypes” was not renewed for a second season.
The source says Markle now desperately needs a hit with her Netflix show or her lifestyle brand in order to prove that she and husband Prince Harry are still viable in Hollywood.

However, the insider isn’t holding out hope.
“Almost everything they’ve tried has ended in disaster,” they tartly declared.
Meanwhile, one well-placed source in Tinseltown told In Touch that A-listers have little respect for the Duchess, who commands big bucks for her content.
“Hollywood is glam and glitz on the outside, but the real stars have worked hard for their success — and you get the impression hard work isn’t really Meghan’s thing,” the anonymous source says.
“Now, after all her failures, those A-listers — and the royals — are laughing at her!”
