Meghan Markle continues to be a frequent presence in the headlines—whether it’s news from the royal family or her efforts to build her personal brand, public opinion around her remains deeply divided.
In a recent appearance on The Jamie Kern Lima Show podcast, the Duchess of Sussex chose to break her usual silence and share a deeply emotional side of her story. Known for keeping her private life guarded, Meghan opened up to listeners in a heartfelt interview that left many moved.
Her willingness to be vulnerable may not come as a surprise to fans of her own podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, where she previously revealed painful experiences, including emotional baby news and serious health challenges. Now, she’s offering another intimate update—one that resonates with anyone who’s ever faced struggles behind the scenes.
In a refreshingly candid interview with Jamie Kern Lima, Meghan Markle appeared in cozy sweats and no makeup, setting the tone for an honest conversation. When asked about her personal life, the Duchess of Sussex shared that she’s having “a lot of pinch-me moments right now”—a reflection of the exciting and fast-paced season she’s currently in.
And it’s no wonder. Meghan has her hands full with a number of high-profile projects. One of the most notable is the relaunch of her lifestyle brand. Formerly known as American Riviera Orchard, the brand has been reimagined and reintroduced as As Ever. The launch featured nine carefully curated products, including artisanal fruit preserves, which sold out within an hour of release—a testament to the brand’s powerful reach and Meghan’s influence.
Beyond her brand ventures, Meghan is also starring in a Netflix lifestyle series titled With Love, Meghan. In the show, she welcomes guests and shares insights on everything from gardening and hosting to her favorite cooking tips—blending her personal passions with polished presentation.
Reflecting on her journey, Meghan said:
“I work so hard, and I appreciate what hard work looks like. The moment that everything sells out, it doesn’t mean that we’re done.”
Her words hint at much more to come—and fans are clearly here for it.
During her laid-back, no-frills interview on The Jamie Kern Lima Show, Meghan Markle offered a rare and unfiltered glimpse into her home and family life. Laughing, she admitted that her Montecito house currently “looks like a Costco,” joking about the chaos and clutter: “There are boxes everywhere.”
But the conversation quickly turned more heartfelt. Meghan opened up about life with her family, saying, “I’m happy, and the kids are healthy, and H [Prince Harry] is great.” Her words seemed to subtly address — and dispel — the persistent rumors of tension or divorce circulating in the tabloids.
She also didn’t shy away from discussing the intense media scrutiny she continues to face. Meghan revealed that she only reads about 1% of what’s written about her, explaining the toll it can take:
“We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. To prove that you’re enough. You have to prove that you’re pretty enough. You have to prove that you’re smart enough.”
With quiet strength, she added:
“I’m just so done with the prove-it game. And if you can’t see it, I don’t need to prove to you why. That’s your loss. Because I know that I’m a great friend. I know the kind of mom I am. And I know the kind of human being I am.”
In this rare, vulnerable moment, Meghan reminded listeners that behind the headlines and headlines, there’s a woman determined to live her truth—no longer for approval, but for herself.
