Meghan MarkleandPrince Harryare making their first appearance after two major announcements.
After sharing on Valentine’s Day that they are expecting their second child and Buckingham Palace’s confirmation last week that the couple won’t return as working members of the royal family, Meghan and Harry made a surprise appearance at Spotify’s Stream On event on Monday.
The couple appeared on their couch in their Santa Barbara, California, home to talk about Archewell Audio, theproduction company they formed late last yearthat will create podcasts exclusively on Spotify.

Before Harry continues, “…that inspire, challenge and educate.”
“We created Archewell Audio to make sure that we can elevate voices that maybe aren’t being heard and hear people’s stories,” Meghan says.
Harry adds, “And the biggest part of this is to create this community of where you can share, that will encourage everybody else to then share their own vulnerabilities within that safe space.”

“You can speak into it,“Prince Harrytold Archie.
“Archie, is it fun?” Meghan said, to which Archie responds, “Fun?” Then Meghan repeated, “Fun!”
Archie gave a special message to listeners — with help from his parents.
“After me. Ready? Happy…” Harry said, to which Archie repeats, “Happy.”
Meghan and Harry then said, “New…”
And Archie completes the message: “New Year” — and his parents cheer as Archie giggles.
In December, the couple announced a “multi-year partnership” between Spotify and their newly formed production company Archewell Audio — with a two-minute audio clip of them debuting their podcast skills.
“He has a podcast voice!” Meghan said at the end of the message after Harry gave an introduction.
