Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's next podcast episode will be highly anticipated by international audiences, according to a royal commentator. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed a deal with audio streaming platform Spotify to produce a show last year. Although they have yet to release any episodes aside from a Christmas 'Holiday Special', Richard Fitzwilliams spoke to Express.co.uk about what could be expected.
He told Express.co.uk: "I think what they will be doing for Spotify will be in-depth interviews.
"[The Holiday Special] wasn't sophisticated and I didn't think anything of it.
"It's all very well talking about love conquering all, or words to that effect.
"But it was in a certain language and was not aimed at the British market."

"There is no doubt that international appeal is enormous.
"But I didn't think the podcast was worthy of their talents.
"They didn't have interviews."
