The trailer for the Duchess of Sussex's first Spotify series has dropped - and she'll be investigating "labels that try to hold women back".
Fans have been waiting for the first instalment of Archetypes to come out, and will finally be able to listen to the podcast this summer when it launches.
The show is about female stereotypes and will be hosted by Meghan, who will speak to historians, experts and women who have experienced being typecast.
In a trailer of the Archewell Audio project released today, Meghan said: "This is how we talk about women: the words that raise our girls, and how the media reflects women back to us... but where do these stereotypes come from?
"And how do they keep showing up and defining our lives?"
The Duchess, previewing the type of guests who will feature, adds: "This is Archetypes - the podcast where we dissect, explore, and subvert the labels that try to hold women back.
"I'll have conversations with women who know all too well how these typecasts shape our narratives.
"And I'll talk to historians to understand how we even got here in the first place."
Meghan and Harry signed a lucrative deal with the audio streaming giant to host and produce podcasts, estimated to be worth around £18 million in late 2020.
But they had only released one show so far - a holiday special featuring their son Archie and celebrity guests.
Spotify and Archewell Audio said today: "Spotify and Archewell Audio both value responsible stewardship of the audio landscape, and as explained recently, are committed to working closely to support transparency and strong principles of trust and safety."
The announcement comes after Meghan and the Duke of Sussex raised concerns about Covid-19 misinformation on the platform.
