The post read: "I'm extremely excited to be listening to a podcast.
"I often listen when I have to move from one place to another.
"Some days I'm in the mood for entertainment and other days I use it to gain knowledge and new input.
"That is why I am also proud that we have now thrown ourselves into making a podcast in the Mary Foundation.
Meghan previously announced a new podcast with Lemonada Media
Getty"Our first podcast is called 'Lonely youth', and through three short episodes, it gives a thorough insight into the nuances of loneliness by mixing expertise and personal stories from young people.
"We know from the study 'Loneliness in Denmark' that 73 per cent of 16-19 year olds experience loneliness, whether they are alone or with others. At the same time, 17 per cent of 16-24 year olds feel very lonely.
"These are heavy numbers that we need to do something about. A podcast is not something we much experience with yet in the Mary Foundation, but I hope you will listen and feel welcome."
Mary is following in the footsteps of royals including the Duchess of Sussex, Queen Camilla and Princess Eugenie in launching a podcast.
