Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has released a stunning new portrait for the premiere of her debut Spotify series, Archetypes.

In the black-and-white photo, which serves as the podcast's cover art, Meghan poses against a gray backdrop while wearing a white ribbed tank top. Her long hair is down, with one half behind her shoulders and the other half cascading in front of her, and she is looking calmly into the camera. The cover art includes a dark green gradient border and text that reads, "Archetypes with Meghan."

The 12-episode series sheds light on the tropes that women across generations have overcome and marks the first part of her and Prince Harry's content partnership with the streaming giant.

The duchess explains the show's premise in the introduction. "This is Archetypes—my podcast about the labels and tropes that try to hold women back," she says. "Over the course of the next dozen episodes, we're going to live inside and rip apart the boxes women have been placed into for generations—boxes like diva, crazy, the B-word, slut. Some of these words—these labels—are harsh; they're abrasive. And I want to get to the bottom of where they come from, why they've stuck around for so long, and—importantly—how we can move past them."

For the first episode, Meghan teams up with her friend Serena Williams to talk all things related to ambition, motherhood, and life in the public eye. Next week's episode will star Mariah Carey.

As an associate editor at HarpersBAZAAR.com, Chelsey keeps a finger on the pulse on all things celeb news. She also writes on social movements, connecting with activists leading the fight on workers' rights, climate justice, and more. Offline, she’s probably spending too much time on TikTok, rewatching Emma (the 2020 version, of course), or buying yet another corset.
