Meghan Markle has opened up about the daily grind of life and the small but significant challenges that come with it, in a down-to-earth new video that dropped just after Princess Kate’s heartfelt message about the healing power of nature.
In the latest episode of her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, the Duchess of Sussex sits down with Heather Hasson, founder of the scrubs brand FIGS, to chat all things entrepreneurship. The conversation dives into what it really takes to build something from the ground up, from navigating steep learning curves to staying hands-on with the tiny details that often make the biggest difference.
But it wasn’t just business talk – Meghan let her guard down and gave a rare, candid glimpse into her own everyday life. The pair were swapping stories when Heather admitted she’s hopeless in the kitchen. Meghan, ever relatable, jumped in with a laugh and said: “I think the whole point for me is when you see something that’s an easy solve in the every day, that’s not complicated, not fussy, how do you get your hands involved and change the way of thinking surrounding it so it doesn’t feel daunting?”, reported Hello! Magazine.
She then shared a glimpse of her own chaotic routine, balancing life with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. “I see vegetables, and I see takeout – because I don’t have time to cook every day – and I go, how do I still make this flattering, beautiful, and present well and something people find appetising?” It’s the kind of confession that hits home for anyone juggling a packed schedule and still trying to keep things healthy and appealing at home.
The timing of Meghan’s latest podcast clip is interesting, too. It landed just after Princess Kate released a moving message focused on reconnecting with nature. Kate, who has been open about turning to the outdoors as part of her healing journey, particularly after her recent battle with cancer, spoke about the importance of slowing down and finding grounding in the natural world.
While the two royal women didn’t directly mention one another, the contrast in their recent public messages hasn’t gone unnoticed. Kate’s serene, nature-themed message and Meghan’s no-frills take on everyday chaos paint two very different pictures of life in the royal (or formerly royal) lane.
Still, Meghan’s honesty struck a chord. Whether you’re a duchess, a business founder, or just trying to get dinner on the table, it turns out the struggle is real – and it’s kind of nice to hear that even Meghan’s not immune to the “what’s for dinner?” dilemma.
