Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will be very pleased with what appears to be a peace offering from Spotify, according to a royal commentator.
Spotify has shared the trailer for Meghan Markle's new podcast "Confessions of a Female Founder".
The Duchess of Sussex's new series is set to launch on April 8, produced by Lemonada Media.
This comes just two years after the Sussexes' deal with the streaming platform ended abruptly.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams suggested the promotion represents a "peace offering" from the streaming giant.
In the trailer, Meghan introduces herself saying: "I'm Meghan, and this is Confessions of a Female Founder, a show where I chat with female entrepreneurs and friends about the sleepless nights, the lessons learned and the laser focus that got them to where they are today."
Spotify shared the trailer with an enthusiastic description: "Join Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, to hear the unfiltered stories behind the successes of notable female founders."
The platform added: "The show launches April 8th, wherever you get your podcasts. Hit subscribe now so you never miss an episode!"

The Sussexes' previous Spotify deal, reportedly worth £18 million, ended in June 2023 when they failed to meet the required productivity benchmark.
Sources indicated the deal was cancelled by mutual consent after the couple did not meet output expectations.
The split turned particularly acrimonious when Bill Simmons, a Spotify executive, publicly referred to the couple as "f***ing grifters".
Simmons also said: "I wish I had been involved in the 'Meghan and Harry leave Spotify' negotiation."

He added: "That's the podcast we should have launched with them."
Fitzwilliams said: "What happened was brutal, combined with the 'grifters' comment. It really was something that was damaging to them.
"It is an olive branch, a small one but it could grow. The Sussexes will be very pleased with that.
"It is a bit of a peace offering because they were dismissed pretty brutally."
