In the interview, Markle revealed that her son Archie’s bedroom had caught fire while she and Prince Harry were on a royal tour.
When Archetypes was first announced, it was said that the Spotify podcast would “investigate the labels that try to hold women back,” with the royal set to speak to historians and experts about the origins of these stereotypes, as well as women who “know all too well how these typecasts shape narratives”.
Archetypes will be the first podcast series released as part of Meghan and Prince Harry’s multi-year deal with Spotify through their Archewell Audio.
The royal couple previously released a holiday special on Spotify, which included a guest appearance from their two-year-old son Archie.
