The Danish Queen’s Initiative Sparks Comparisons with Meghan’s Podcast Journey
Queen Mary of Denmark has captivated attention with the announcement of her new podcast addressing youth loneliness, a project seemingly echoing Meghan Markle’s foray into the medium.
Taking to Instagram, the 52-year-old royal revealed her excitement about the initiative, launched through the Mary Foundation. In the post, Queen Mary shared a photo of herself engrossed in a podcast, dressed in a chic black outfit and accessorised with glasses and earphones.
The podcast, titled Lonely Youth, explores the complexities of loneliness among young people through expert insights and personal stories. Highlighting the urgency of the issue, Queen Mary noted alarming statistics from the foundation’s study, which found 73% of 16–19-year-olds in Denmark experience loneliness, with 17% feeling very isolated.
“This is a heavy reality we must address,” the Queen shared, adding, “While podcasting is new to us, I hope listeners will feel welcomed and gain valuable insight.”
The announcement arrives as Meghan Markle keeps fans awaiting her next podcast release. After ending her Spotify deal in 2023, the Duchess of Sussex partnered with Lemonada Media but has yet to debut new material.
Queen Mary’s proactive move has drawn comparisons, with royal watchers noting her ability to deliver impactful content while Meghan’s next steps remain under wraps. Fans are eager to see how Meghan responds in her podcast journey.
