Meghan Markle has avoided returning to the UK with Prince Harry as she focusses on the launch of her new podcast.

The first episode of Meghan Markle's new podcast Confessions Of A Female Founder was released this morning.


The 43-year-old royal sat down with her friend Whitney Wolfe Herd, the founder of dating app Bumble, for an intimate conversation during the first episode.

In the podcast, Meghan opened up about her experience with postpartum preeclampsia, a condition she shared with Wolfe Herd.

"We both had very similar experiences though we didn't know each other at the time with postpartum, and we both had preeclampsia. Postpartum preeclampsia," Meghan revealed.

"It's so rare and so scary," she added.

The Duchess continued to share how challenging these health issues were while maintaining public responsibilities.

"And you're still trying to juggle all of these things, and the world doesn't know what's happening quietly. And in the quiet, you're still trying to show up for people mostly for your children but those things are huge medical scares."

The new podcast will run for eight episodes focusing on Meghan's journey as an entrepreneur.

It comes as the Duke of Sussex landed in London on Sunday.

Harry is back for an appeal against a High Court ruling on his security protection.

The Duke has been taking legal action against the Home Office over a decision made by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures in February 2020.

Harry has argued that his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, cannot "feel at home" or "safe" in the UK unless his police protection is fully restored.

The dispute concerns the level of protection he should receive when in the country.

Harry has argued that his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, cannot "feel at home" or "safe" in the UK unless his police protection is fully restored.

The High Court previously heard that Harry's "status" had changed as a result of no longer being a "full-time working member of the Royal Family".

This change in status has been central to the security dispute that brought the Duke back to British soil.
