Meghan Markle has released her much-anticipated podcast, with the promise of sharing a new side of her life

Meghan says the Archetypes podcast will focus on “harmful labels and stereotypes applied to women.”

During the first episode Meghan reflected on a time when her, Harry and baby Archie were travelling South Africa, for Royal duties.

A fire broke out in Archie’s room but they were instructed to carry on with their official duties.

Unbeknown to Harry and Meghan, Archie wasn’t in the room at the time, but Meghan says it was a traumatic moment in their lives.

“The focus ends up being on how it looks instead of how it feels… And part of the humanising and the breaking through of these labels and these archetypes and these boxes that we’re put into is having some understanding on the human moments behind the scenes that people might not have any awareness of and to give each other a break.”

Williams also spoke of emotional rollercoasters that she has faced in the sporting world and juggling her career while being a mum. She reflected on playing a match in 2018, after a sleepless night, because her daughter had broken her wrist.

“I somehow managed to win, but I was so emotionally spent and just like so emotionally drained that it was, it was crazy. And, you know, and then like every night after that, I just was with her the whole time and was like you’re going to be with me,”

SpaceX plans a $25 billion IPO in 2026, potentially valuing the company at over $1 trillion.


Elon Musk’s SpaceX is preparing to raise over $25 billion through an initial public offering in 2026. The move could value the space exploration company at over $1 trillion, fueled by its Starlink internet network and Starship rocket programme.

The IPO discussions are underway with major banks, targeting a launch around June or July. This comes as the IPO market experiences a revival after a three-year slowdown, attracting attention from both institutional and retail investors.

SpaceX is currently the second most-valuable private startup after OpenAI. While investors are excited, some remain cautious about Musk’s ability to manage multiple high-profile companies simultaneously.

Trump admin proposes tourists disclose social media profiles for security under visa waiver program, impacting 42 countries.


The Trump administration has proposed new rules requiring tourists visiting the United States under the visa waiver program to disclose their social media profiles. This applies to citizens from countries including Australia, the UK, and France, who would need to provide five years of social media history.

The requirement specifically targets travelers using the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), which covers 42 countries. US Customs and Border Protection says the move is necessary to enhance national security.

Public comments on the proposal will be open for 60 days, and full implementation could take several months. It’s still unclear whether private messages would be included or if only public profiles are required.
