Meghan Markle confirms new podcast launch date after Netflix series panned

Meghan Markle has announced details of her new podcast series Confessions of a Female Founder.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, has teamed up with Lemonada Media, who say her latest endeavour will invite listeners “to be a fly on the wall as she sits down for candid conversations with female founders and friends" to talk about all things business-related.

Sharing a promotional picture on Instagram, the mum-of-two wrote in the accompanying caption: "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!

"I’ve been having candid conversations with amazing women who have turned dreams into realities, and scaled small ideas into massively successful businesses.

"They’re opening up, sharing their tips, tricks (and tumbles), and letting me pick their brains as I build out my own business, As ever.

"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?)"

The wife of Prince Harry added that the first episode will become available on April 8.

A trailer for her new venture will be released within days on March 25.

Markle signed a deal with Lemonada Media in February 2024 after her Spotify contract ended in 2023 after one series of her first podcast Archetypes.

Details about her return to the podcasting sphere comes just a week after Markle’s Netflix show With Love, Meghan premiered to a mixed reception.

Despite viewers uncertainty, the streaming giant has already renewed it for a second series.

Markle also recently relaunched her lifestyle brand As Ever less than a year after launching American Riviera Orchard.

The name change follows a rejected trademark application for American Riviera Orchard last March, which gave her three months to revise it.

The original filing covered cookbooks, table linens, cutlery, jams, jellies, and nut butter, while a broader international filing also included stationery, garden tools, lighting, tote bags, and pet accessories.
