Yes, there have been reports that Meghan Markle was not doing the legwork on her Spotify podcast, Archetypes.

According to a report in The Times, Markle's team was "unprepared" for the launch of the podcast, and she was not involved in the day-to-day production. The report also said that Markle was "not interested" in doing interviews for the podcast, and that she wanted to focus on other projects.
Spotify has not commented on the reports, but it is clear that Archetypes did not meet the company's expectations. The podcast was only released in December 2021, and it has only produced one season of episodes. In April 2022, it was announced that Spotify and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had mutually agreed to end their deal.
It is unclear why Markle was not more involved in the production of Archetypes. It is possible that she was simply too busy with other projects, or that she was not interested in the podcast's subject matter. Whatever the reason, the lack of her involvement seems to have been a factor in the podcast's failure.
The reports about Markle's lack of involvement in Archetypes have led to some negative publicity for the Duchess of Sussex. Some people have accused her of being lazy or unprofessional, while others have said that she is simply not interested in podcasting. It is important to note that these are just allegations, and Markle has not responded to them.
Only time will tell what the future holds for Meghan Markle's podcasting career. However, the reports about Archetypes suggest that she may need to be more involved in the production of her future podcasts if she wants them to be successful.
