Duchess of Sussex shares candid take on daily life, cooking, and entrepreneurship in inspiring chat
Meghan Markle has released a fresh video clip from her podcast Confessions of a Female Founder, just days after Princess Kate made headlines with a heartfelt message promoting the healing power of nature.
In the latest episode, the Duchess of Sussex sits down with Heather Hasson, co-founder of FIGS, a brand credited with revolutionising medical apparel. The two entrepreneurs opened up about the highs and lows of building a business, the steep learning curve of leadership, and the value of paying attention to the small, everyday moments.
Amid the engaging discussion, Meghan offered a rare and relatable glimpse into her own domestic life. When Hasson joked about her poor cooking skills, Meghan admitted she too finds it challenging to manage meals amid a busy schedule.
“I see vegetables, and I see takeout—because I don’t have time to cook every day,” she said. “So I ask, how do I still make this flattering, beautiful, and presentable—something people find appetising?”
She explained that her approach to everyday tasks is grounded in simplicity. “When you see something that’s an easy solve in the every day—something not complicated or fussy—how do you change your thinking around it so it doesn’t feel daunting?”
The episode arrives shortly after Princess Kate released a moving message about the importance of reconnecting with nature, particularly in a fast-paced world. Her campaign focuses on the restorative role of the natural environment, which she has leaned on during her own battle with cancer.
While Meghan and Catherine took different routes—one through entrepreneurial reflection, the other through nature and healing—both messages resonated with themes of resilience, personal insight, and finding calm in everyday challenges.
