Queen Camilla Parker of the United Kingdom officially released her much anticipated popcast as a way to promote her book club, released this week. As a surprise, the work is having a positive reception in the world, but what left more in shock was that in the United States it was positioned among the most listened to.
In Apple’s top podcasts chart, the work has reached the number in the Arts and Books category. The monarch achieved the same in different countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, among others. As for the United States, it is already among the top 5 most listened to.
The sudden success of Queen Camilla Parker took Meghan Markle’s fans by surprise, considering that Prince Harry’s wife’s podcast “Archetypes” was a resounding failure in 2022 resulting in the non-renewal of a million-dollar contract she had with Spotify.
A PR expert claimed that Queen Camilla Parker’s podcast will continue to increase its listenership and will remain among the most popular for a long time, as the Queen’s followers are very loyal, unlike Meghan Markle‘s podcast, which had to survive from “revelations” and “surprise guests“.
Recall that her Spotify deal ended in just 2 years, when the streaming platform alleged that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were unproductive, releasing only 12 episodes in over 20 months. Even pissing off several Spotify executives.
For its part, Queen Camilla Parker’s podcast promises to remain stable in the global and U.S. charts, even surpassing Meghan Markle’s.
