Meghan Markle delighted fans as she announced her return to podcasting with the help of Lemonada.

The Duchess of Sussex said she is "proud" to share that she's joined Lemonada to continue her "love of podcasting". The new partnership will see podcast network Lemonada distribute the first season of Meghan's podcast Archetypes for all audio platforms.

Meghan will also produce a new series, which is currently untitled. Archetypes will join Lemonada's award-winning lineup of podcasts including Choice Words with Samantha Bee and Funny Cuz It's True with Elyse Myers. A statement was released on Meghan's brand new website to announce the news.

"I'm proud to now be able to share that I am joining the brilliant team at Lemonada to continue my love of podcasting. Being able to support a female founded company with a roster of thought provoking and highly entertaining podcasts is a fantastic way to kick off 2024.

"Our plan to re-release Archetypes so that more people can now have access to it, as well as launching a dynamic new podcast are well in the works. I'm so eager to be able to share it soon, and am overjoyed to be joining the Lemonada family," Meghan said in the statement.

Lemonada's CEO and co-founder Jessica Cordova Kramer added: "We are beyond honoured that Meghan has trusted us to help democratize access to 'Archetypes,' and that so many more people around the world will have access to the series soon. Meghan's talent as host, creator and conversationalist is unparalleled and we are thrilled to co-create a new series with her that fosters her approach to creating art that matters."

Lemonada’s Chief Creative Officer and co-founder Stephanie Wittels Wachs concluded: "As we've started development with The Duchess of Sussex, we are blown away by her collaborative spirit and clear vision, along with her deep desire to build compassion and community through this work. The Lemonada team felt immediate kinship with Meghan and the Archewell Productions team, and we are delighted to be working together."

Archetypes ran for 12 episodes back in 2022 and saw Meghan sit down for some very personal interviews with artists, athletes, and experts discussing the history of stereotypes against women. The Duchess of Sussex interviewed the likes of Paris Hilton, Serena Williams and Mariah Carey on the show.

However, it came to an end when the Sussexes ended their partnership with Spotify in June. "Spotify and Archewell Audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together," a statement read.
