Major royal releases new podcast – and promises to share insider gossip

A MAJOR royal is set to release a new podcast – and has promised to “spill the tea”.

The Duchess of York has revealed she is following in Meghan Markle’s footsteps and will making the series with experts at leading podcast producers Viral Tribe.

She will be joined by founder of First News, Sarah Jane Thomson, and the pair will chat “about the highs and lows of everyday life”.

The podcast’s description says they will “learn about themselves, each other and give their take on some of the biggest and strangest stories from around the world. 

It adds: “No topic is off the table. No biscuit will remain undunked.”

In a post on Twitter Fergie wrote: “It’s about time we spilled the tea… our brand new podcast “Tea Talks with the Duchess & Sarah” is out next week.”

It comes after the duchess was not invited to the King’s Coronation.

Despite knowing Charles since childhood, the Duchess of York, 63, was not among the 2,000 guest invited.

Fergie is far from the first royal to host a podcast.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle signed their rumoured £18million Spotify deal in late 2020.

Last year Meghan Markle released 10 episodes of ‘Archetypes’ where she spoke to celeb friends about the stereotypes that women face.

Meanwhile, Mike Tindall regularly dishes out royal gossip on his podcast The Good, the Bad and the Rugby.

And last month Prince William chatted on the Climate of Change podcast from Audible, hosted by Blanchett

It is not yet known what Sarah will discuss on her new podcast.

It comes as the duchess’s ex-husband Prince Andrew is refusing to vacate his 30-room mansion in a fresh row with the King.

Earlier this year it was revealed that Charles was slashing the £250,000 subsidy Andrew received from the late Queen Elizabeth.

It meant the Duke of York, 63, would struggle to afford the running costs of Royal Lodge at Windsor, Berks.

However, friends of Andrew say the prince is determined to stay put.
