Meghan Markle Says Princess Lilibet Crashes Her Meetings with Executives Sometimes

Can you imagine a.) hopping on a Zoom with Meghan Markle, and b.) having said Zoom crashed by Princess Lilibet?

Please fill out this field Are Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie Feuding, which dropped April 8. In the debut episode, Meghan chats with friend and Bumble founder is part of the; in addition to being entrepreneurs (Herd with Bumble, and Meghan with As Ever), the women are both parents to two young kids.

“We became moms in the pandemic, post-pandemic culture where there is so much working from home,” Meghan said. “I don't leave the house to go to an office—my office is here. Lili still naps, she gets picked up early and she naps, she only has a half day in preschool. If she wakes up and she wants to find me, she knows where to find me, even if my door is closed to the office. She’ll be sitting there on my lap during one of these meetings with a grid of all the executives.”

Meghan added, sweetly, “I wouldn’t have it any other way. I don’t want to miss those moments. I don’t want to miss pickup if I don’t have to. I don’t want to miss drop-off.”

Meghan’s kids—not just Princess Lilibet but also Prince Archie, Prince Harry Is Asked Awkward Question About King Charles As He Arrives at Court in the U.K Prince Harry—came up again in conversation, when she shared how they keep her grounded: “What I do love the most about having young kids, in this chapter while I'm building, is the perspective that it brings because you're building something while your child’s going through potty training—and both are just as important.”

“It’s like, ‘Great, okay, where’s the Cheerios? Well done,’” she added. “And then you’re championing your team 10 minutes later about something that is really high value for the world. In your own world, that's super high value. And in [Lilibet’s] world, that's super high value.”

Herd shared her own experiences of being a multitasking mom, telling Meghan that “Technology is a beautiful tool for parents because you can dial in and be present and do a great job on the call while you sit in the carpool line outside school. Like, why do I need to be at a desk? I have the same mental opinion in a carpool line.”

To kick off the show, Meghan posted on Instagram four photos of herself as a young Girl Scout, writing that “Being an entrepreneur can start young.” Alluding to the shortbread cookies included as part of her lifestyle brand As Ever’s first drop, she cheekily added, “By the way, all these years later, and I’m still selling cookies!”
