"Our plan to re-release Archetypes so that more people can now have access to it, as well as launching a dynamic new podcast are well in the works," she explained. "I’m so eager to be able to share it soon, and am overjoyed to be joining the Lemonada family," the Duchess added.The news comes following Archetypes' sudden cancellation last year, amid a public fall-out between the Duke and Duchess with the streaming platform.

Executive Bill Simmons even labelled the couple as "f***ing grifters" during an episode of his own podcast. The head of podcast innovation and monetisation for the company made it clear that there was no love lost at the time. "The f***ing grifters.That's the podcast we should have launched with them," the big boss brutally branded the couple.
