Meghan Markle faces the "problem of staying famous" following the launch of her second podcast, according to a royal commentator.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, has released the first two episodes of "Confessions of a Female Founder", speaking to women who have started their own companies and brands.
The first episode, which aired on April 8, interviewed the founder of Bumble, Whitney Wolfe Herd.
In the upcoming episodes, the duchess will chat to friends, including Serena Williams, Gwyneth Paltrow and Mindy Kaling.

Royal expert Mark Borkowski suggested the project is an attempt to hold on to the spotlight now following Meghan and Harry's step back from royal working duties.
Borkowsk said: "The problem is about staying, not just staying at the top but remaining famous, but also dealing with that fame in a highly cruel and critical world."
He told the Sun that the duchess needs to make noise and drew parallels to US President Donald Trump.
Borkowsk said: "One could argue that's a major success because, you know, it keeps her in this sort of public gaze and keeps the global media obsessed about her story.

InstagramThe expert added: "Whether it's the President of the United States or Meghan Markle, it is all about noise now.
"But you know, what are the cut-through messages - and I don't think we've seen that with Meghan at the moment because everything seems to be the next thing that's thrown against the wall hoping it will stick."
"Any large personality can generate a huge Instagram following."
"But how do you stop being boring? What did Trump say? Everybody needs a little crazy."

SpotifyThe new series follows Meghan's 2022 Spotify podcast, Archetypes, which was intended to explore the labels and stereotypes that hold women back.
Despite a star-studded guest list that included Serena Williams and Mariah Carey, the podcast's initial buzz dwindled.
In June 2023, Spotify and the Sussexes' production company, Archewell Audio, announced they were parting ways, with reports of behind-the-scenes disagreements surfacing.
Meghan signed a new podcast deal with Lemonada Media in February last year, leading to the release of 'Confessions of a Female Founder'.
