On April 8th, the Duchess of Sussex released the first episode of her podcast "Confessions of a Female Founder"

The new podcast, which is struggling to take off, discusses the topic of female entrepreneurs and their daily lives. Meghan Markle, in the first episode, hosted the founder of the dating app Bumble, Whitney Wolfe Herd. For the second episode, she had an extensive conversation with Reshma Saujani, the founder of the non-profit organisation Girls Who Code, which aims to increase the number of women in the tech sector. And in the third episode, the former Suits star welcomed Kadi Lee, her hair colourist friend. 

No Beyoncé or Taylor Swift

For the fourth episode, it's still unknown which woman will be sitting next to Prince Harry's wife. Indeed, according to a source close to the production, confiding to the DailyMail, several big female names are rejecting her. "No one is answering the phone." "There's no Taylor Swift. No Beyoncé. Not even a Hailey Bieber. And when you want to promote the empowerment of women, that's a problem," highlights the same source, noting Meghan Markle's frustration in passing. Indeed, the lack of response "speaks volumes about her pulling power".

So, will Meghan Markle manage to find someone at the end of the line? Stay tuned for the next episode.
