Meghan Markle has officially launched her latest venture — a new podcast titled Confessions of a Female Founder — with its first episode premiering on Tuesday.
In a refreshingly candid conversation, Meghan sat down with Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd, who became the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire after taking her company public in 2021.
During the heartfelt exchange, Meghan offered a glimpse into a charming family tradition she and Prince Harry have for New Year’s Eve — one that’s far from royal galas or glittering parties. Reflecting on a past visit to the Sussexes’ home, Whitney shared her surprise at how relaxed and low-key the evening turned out to be.
She recalled arriving in a sparkling rhinestone disco crystal ball cowboy outfit, expecting to meet a regal and sophisticated couple. Instead, she found Meghan Markle and Harry spending a quiet night at home, prioritizing rest over revelry — especially since their children, Prince Archie (now 5) and Princess Lilibet (now 3), were still very young at the time.
Laughing, Meghan Markle described it as an “East Coast New Year’s,” joking, “That ball is dropping at 9 p.m. [PT], and I’m going to bed.” She added a personal touch, revealing that even today, Archie fondly remembers that evening, asking, “When do I get to see the cowboys again?”
This marks Meghan’s first major podcast project since her previous deal with Spotify ended nearly two years ago. Her new collaboration with Lemonada Media aims to spotlight women founders, and while only the first guest has been revealed, fans can expect more influential voices in upcoming episodes.
Meghan Markle, who along with Prince Harry stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and relocated to the United States, continues to carve a unique path through media and advocacy. With her signature warmth and honesty, Meghan brings a personal and powerful perspective to her latest role behind the mic — reminding fans that authenticity still shines brightest.
