Meghan Markle’s first Archewell podcast series is coming this summer. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s podcast studio, Archewell Audio, is moving forward with its multiyear exclusive deal with Spotify, despite the platform’s recent mishandling of COVID misinformation.
An Archewell Audio spokesperson confirmed to THR that the decision was made following conversations with Spotify executives regarding the streaming service provider’s misinformation policies and practices. Markle’s podcast is continuing on with production, and will mark Archewell’s first podcast series.

The Sussexes multiyear partnership with Spotify was first announced back in 2020. Since then, Archewell Audio has only released a star-studded holiday special that featured everyone from Stacey Abrams to Deepak Chopra and Naomi Osaka. It also included a special cameo from the couple’s 2-year-old son, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor.
With their podcast, the Sussexes aim to build community through cultivating shared experience, drawing on first-person narratives and strong values. However, no other details regarding Markle’s podcast specifically have been revealed at the time.
POPSUGAR has reached out to Archewell for comment.
