Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams suggested the promotion represents a surprising gesture following what he called a "brutal" setback for the couple.
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.
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."
Sources indicated the deal was cancelled by mutual consent after the couple did not meet output expectations.
