Before launching the podcast, Markle said listeners would get to know the “real” her, “probably the me that they’ve never gotten to know – certainly not in the past few years, where everything is through the lens of the media as opposed to, ‘Hey, it’s me.'”
Harry and Markle stepped back from being senior royals in January 2020 and eventually settled in California, where they have started to work on various media ventures.
Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral is scheduled for Sept. 19 at Westminster Abbey.
