Meghan Markle is back in the podcast game.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, announced her new podcast with Lemonada Media called “Confessions of a Female Founder” on Instagram Thursday.
“I’m so excited to share with you something else I’ve been working on: ‘Confessions of a Female Founder,’ my new podcast with @lemonadamedia!” Markle wrote in her announcement.
Markle added, “It has been absolutely eye-opening, inspiring … and fun! (Because what’s the point if we can’t have some fun on this wild adventure?)” She also confirmed that her first episode drops April 8.
Lemonada will be distributing her previous Spotify podcast series to all platforms.
“Archetypes,” which explored the labels that hold women back, was the only project that Markle and Prince Harry produced for Spotify during their 2½-year partnership.
The podcast, which had just 12 episodes, premiered in August 2022 and featured guests such as Serena Williams, Mariah Carey, Mindy Kaling and Paris Hilton.
Podnews previously reported that Markle allegedly didn’t conduct her “Archetypes” interviews. Instead, some of the show’s interviews were allegedly done by members of the duchess’s staff — and audio of her voice asking the questions was clipped in later.
Markle was also accused of bullying by some of her former Spotify colleagues, according to a bombshell Vanity Fair report that came out in January.
One person who worked with Markle described the alleged experience with her as “really, really, really awful” and “very painful.” An unnamed source accused Markle of acting like a ‘Mean Girls’ teenager.”
Markle is also launching her lifestyle brand, As Ever. The company, which is selling products like Markle’s signature raspberry jam, used to be called American Riviera Orchard, but she changed the name after facing trademark issues.
