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.
