Pregnant Meghan, 39, stunned in a £2,478 Oscar de la Renta for the online video while sitting close to her husband on a couch.

They appeared alongside other A-listers including Justin Bieber, J Balvin, Brené Brown and Blackpink to feature during today’s the #SpotifyStreamOn event.

The couple - who have signed multi-million pound deals with Spotify and Netflix - said they wanted to "elevate voices" that weren't being heard.

In the clip, the former actress said they wanted to use their Archewell Audio podcast to "drive powerful conversation" with Prince Harry adding they hoped to "inspire, challenge and educate."

Meghan then tells the camera: "We created Archewell Audio to make sure we can elevate voices that maybe aren't being heard."

Harry then adds: "The biggest part of this is creating a community where you can share and encourage everybody else to share their vulnerabilities in a safe place."

It comes as...

• The Queen will appear in a rare TV special just hours before the Sussex's explosive tell-all interview with Oprah
• Harry and Meghan's Megxit has thrown plans for next year's Platinum Jubille celebrations into turmoil
• Prince William is said to be "shocked" at Harry and Meghan's "petulant" response to the Queen over Megxit
• The couple did not tell the Queen about the tell-all interview
• Oprah boarded a £50million jet after filming the bombshell interview with the couple
• The couple may have to re-shoot parts of the chat after being stripped of their royal roles, it was reported

It's the first time the couple have been seen since announcing they were quitting the Royal Family and would star in a tell-all interview with Oprah.

Harry, 36, appeared to be dressed casually for the appearance, wearing a simple white collared shirt and trousers.

The pair, who last week lost their honorary titles in Megxit, were introduced in the clip as "Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex".

The couple are currently raising their son Archie at their new £8million Santa Barbara home - announcing last week they were expecting another baby.

And they are next expected to appear as they sit down with Oprah in a primetime special to be aired next month.

It has been reported the couple did not tell the Queen about the interview with Oprah - with pals saying "nothing will be off limits" in the chat.

The Queen had offered the couple a 12-month review after they quit the Royal Family but Harry and Meghan last week confirmed they were officially stepping down.

In a statement released moments after Buckingham Palace confirmed the news, they said: "We can all live a life of service. Service is universal."

Harry and Meghan's decision puts extra strain on the family with 99-year-old Prince Philip in hospital after feeling unwell - with Harry believed to be isolating in the US so he can return to the UK if needed.

In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have confirmed to Her Majesty The Queen that they will not be returning as working members of The Royal Family.

"Following conversations with The Duke, The Queen has written confirming that in stepping away from the work of The Royal Family it is not possible to continue with the responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service.

"The honorary military appointments and Royal patronages held by The Duke and Duchess will therefore be returned to Her Majesty, before being redistributed among working members of The Royal Family.

"While all are saddened by their decision, The Duke and Duchess remain much loved members of the family."
