Key Points

  • Meghan may guest on "Her Best Life" podcast during her mid-April Australia visit
  • The move would be a cautious, low-pressure way to reconnect with podcast audiences
  • A successful appearance could pave the way for reviving her own podcast projects later

MEGHAN Markle is reportedly considering a low-key return to podcasting during her upcoming trip to Australia with Prince Harry.

Sources say the Duchess of Sussex may make a guest appearance on the Besties podcast “Her Best Life” while visiting Sydney and Melbourne in mid-April.

Insiders claim the appearance would be a cautious way for Markle to reconnect with podcast audiences without immediately launching a major new project.

“The expectation is that Meghan Markle will cautiously step back into the podcasting arena during the Australia visit, but in a very measured way,” said the pal.

“Rather than launching a full project straight away, the idea is for her to appear as a guest on an established show while she is there and gauge the reaction.”

The reported plan is to use the high-profile Australia visit, which is also expected to include philanthropic and business-related meetings, as a natural moment to re-enter the audio space.

“It is essentially a way for her to dip her toe back into podcasting without committing to anything major just yet,” the pal added.

“A guest spot allows her to reconnect with listeners and reintroduce herself into that space while keeping the pressure relatively low.”

Markle previously hosted “Archetypes,” which debuted in 2022, and later launched “Confessions of a Female Founder” through Lemonada Media in 2025.

Sources claim there is still long-term interest in reviving her podcast presence, with a guest spot seen as a possible first step.

Neither the full Australia itinerary nor the podcast appearance has been officially confirmed, but the reported move suggests Markle may be exploring new ways to expand her media projects.

“The thinking behind it is that Meghan and Harry’s so-called ‘fake royal tour of Australia,’ as their critics call it, gives Meghan the perfect stage to quietly reintroduce herself into the podcasting world,” added the mole.

“Simply by visiting Australia, she will already attract a huge amount of media attention, so adding a podcast appearance into the mix naturally amplifies that visibility.

“From her team’s perspective, the trip creates a ready-made spotlight where she can remind audiences that podcasting is still something she intends to pursue.

“If the guest appearance lands well and generates the kind of interest they are hoping for, the idea is that it could become the first step toward reviving her own podcast projects.

“In other words, it is being seen as a soft relaunch, a way of laying the groundwork for a potential return to hosting her own show in the future.”

Why This Matters

A cautious guest spot during the Australia trip lets Markle test audience appetite, recalibrate her media strategy and quietly gauge public reaction—potentially paving the way for a broader podcast comeback while leveraging high-profile royal attention without committing to a full relaunch.
