Prince Harry, Meghan Markle drop holiday podcast special on Spotify

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s first Spotify podcast episode is here, and it features a slew of special guests!

Update (12/29/2020): Earlier this month, we learned that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had inked a multi-year podcast deal with Spotify. Now, fans of the royal couple can get their fix by checking out their first ever podcast episode.

For their first episode, the couple opted to release a stand-alone holiday special. Per the official press release for the episode, the special features “a collection of personal anecdotes and inspirational stories from a variety of guests around the world…plus a surprise or two.”

“We thought, what if we can bring together some people that inspire us? People that we admire, and get their thoughts on what they learned from 2020?” says Markle at the top of the show.

The special guests in question who partook in the stand-alone episode include Stacey Abrams, Christina Adane, José Andrés, Brené Brown, Rachel Cargle, Deepak Chopra, James Corden, Matt Haig, Sir Elton John, Hussain Manawer, Naomi Osaka, Tyler Perry, and George the Poet.
