MEGHAN Markle appealed to fans to share her #dontbelievethetype motto after releasing her long-awaited podcast – but less than 60 people have posted it permanently on Instagram.
The Duchess of Sussex spoke with long-term pal Serena Williams for almost an hour after signing a £18m deal with Spotify.

It’s the first episode in Meghan’s Archewell podcast after she and Prince Harry signed a rumoured £18m deal with Spotify after leaving the Firm.
And to celebrate its launch at 1pm yesterday she asked fans to share a hashtag on their social media.
She wrote on her website, Archewell: “We’re asking you to tell us about your experience with labels, because we know that the more we share our common experiences with these words, the more we chip away at their power.
“So tell us about a time you were typecast. How did it make you feel?

“How have you reclaimed, rejected, or rewritten the labels that have been imposed on you?
“Use the hashtags: #dontbelievethetype #archetypes.”
But while hundreds used the hashtags on Twitter, on Instagram her questions fell flat.
Just 59 fans used #dontbelievethetype in captions for photos on their grid.
During the podcast, Meghan relived the horror moment a FIRE broke out in son Archie’s nursery while the family were on tour in South Africa.
Meghan and Harry were visiting the South African township of Nyanga in 2019 when officials told Meghan “there was a fire in the baby’s room”.
The couple raced to their son to find their then-nanny – named only as Lauren – in tears.
Meghan’s next podcast guest will be singing sensation Mariah Carey.
In January, Spotify took the podcast project “into its own hands” by hiring a host of in-house producers to help deliver content.
Spotify said it was looking forward to a “full-scale” launch of shows in 2021 – but nothing appeared.
Before this episode, Harry and Meghan’s only podcast effort was a 35-minute “holiday special” in December 2020, featuring celebrity pals such as Elton John and James Corden.

Fans had been questioning when their so-called “full-scale launch” of episodes would be coming.
The Celeb Report has contacted the SussexRoyal for comment.
