Meghan Markle announced that she will soon be hosting Confessions of a Female Founder, a new podcast focused on candid conversations with successful businesswomen.
In a social media post confirming the news, Meghan appeared in a blue blouse, gazing directly into the camera. In the caption, the Duchess of Sussex explained that she had been engaging in honest discussions with female entrepreneurs as she navigates her own business journey.
However, there was a subtle yet significant detail that many may have overlooked—Meghan’s choice of appearance in the announcement. Opting for a more understated look, the mother-of-two pulled her hair back instead of wearing it loose, paired with minimal makeup, showcasing a raw and vulnerable side.
Expressing her excitement, Meghan wrote:
“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?) First episode is April 8th!”
The eight-part series, with episodes releasing weekly, marks the first original podcast for Lemonada Media, founded by Jessica Cordova Kramer and Stephanie Wittels Wachs.
Previously, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had a deal with Spotify, launching Archetypes in August 2022.
The podcast, which explored the history of stereotypes imposed on women, featured notable guests such as Serena Williams, Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton, Mindy Kaling, and Constance Wu. The deal was estimated to be worth $25 million (£18 million) when announced in 2020.
Meghan’s latest venture follows the release of her Netflix lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, where she shared insights on cooking, gardening, and hosting. She also recently introduced the first products from her As Ever brand, which include edible flower sprinkles, preserves, and hibiscus teas.
