In the first episode of the podcast, tennis legend and close friend Serena Williams talks with Meghan about ambition, how both women juggle motherhood, and her evolution.

Also joining the conversation is Professor Laura Kray from the University of California, Berkeley, who expands on ambition as it relates to gender.

The Spotify description for this episode states: “Meghan talks to the one and only Serena Williams about the double standard women face when they are labelled ‘ambitious’ and the ripple effect this has on other aspects of their lives.

“This ground-breaking premiere episode also features Dr. Laura Kray, a leading expert on gender in the workplace.”

Next week’s episode will feature a conversation with singing superstar Mariah Carey.

In addition, Archewell have also created an Archetypes site “to foster community, empower listeners, and inspire change”.

Meghan’s new Archetypes podcast series with Spotify was announced in March of this year.

It comes as outspoken broadcaster Piers Morgan took another swipe at Markle after she spoke openly about the “negative connotations” associated with ambitious women.

The Duchess of Sussex spoke candidly on the first episode of her new podcast Archetypes where she expressed that she never felt the negative effects of the word “ambitious” until she started courting her husband Prince Harry.

Commenting on a tweet that highlighted Meghan’s remarks, Piers hit back and wrote: “It’s not your ambition we dislike, Princess Pinocchio.

“It’s the vile way you trash the Royal Family whilst simultaneously exploiting your royal status for millions of dollars as with this podcast,” he added.
