Lemonada Media announced today that Meghan Markle's podcast "Confessions of a Female Founder" will release a bonus episode next week featuring Tina Knowles, mother of Beyoncé and Solange.
The production company revealed the surprise addition after initially wrapping the first season, stating they received "a call that we couldn't ignore" from "one of the most influential and inspiring matriarchs in culture today."
Meghan's voice appeared in the promotional material, saying: "Next week, we've got one more very special interview for you. A bonus episode. Because when a matriarch calls, and when this matriarch calls, oh, you answer."
In a brief clip from the upcoming episode, Knowles opened up to Meghan about why she "fights so hard" for her famous family, which includes daughters Beyoncé and Solange as well as her four grandchildren.

She shared the advice she has given her daughters since childhood: "I tell them every day, since they were little girls, 'You belong anywhere you choose to be.'"
Both daughters found fame early in life and have flourished into massively successful artists and mothers in their own right.
The episode will connect to Knowles's recent memoir "Matriarch," which tells her life story in her own words.
The 71-year-old fashion designer initially hesitated to write the book, admitting to People: "I thought [people] only want to know all my kids' business. They're not going to be interested in me."
However, she discovered a deeper story through the creative process.
"I've lived this incredible life, and you really don't realise it until you start writing everything down," she continued.
Originally focused on her life in the spotlight, designing costumes for Destiny's Child, the memoir evolved into a more detailed personal account.
Meghan's connection with Knowles and her famous family spans many years.
