So far, the names of future guests have not been announced.

She mentioned that planning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/style\/story\/a-special-delivery-from-meghan-markle-instructs-you-to-open-with-care\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the company\u2019s ornate packaging<\/a>, including champagne tissue paper and a label in a facsimile of her own handwriting, had caused her stress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Meghan also said that she relished starting a business while also raising her two children, <strong>Prince Archie,<\/strong> 5, and <strong>Princess Lilibet,<\/strong> 3. \u201cWhat I do love the most about having young kids, in this chapter while I\u2019m building [As Ever], is the perspective that it brings, because you\u2019re building something while your child\u2019s going through potty training\u2026And both are just as important,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s like, \u2018Great, okay, where\u2019s the Cheerios? Well done.\u2019 And then you\u2019re championing your team 10 minutes later about something that is really high value for the world. In your own world, that\u2019s super high value. And in [Lili\u2019s] world, that\u2019s super high value.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Wolfe Herd explained that she and Meghan first became friends when she visited Meghan and her husband <strong>Prince Harry<\/strong> at their Montecito home for a small New Year\u2019s Eve party. The gathering was early in the evening and Wolfe Herd and her husband <strong>Michael Herd<\/strong> came dressed as rhinestone cowboys because they were visiting another party afterward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Meghan added it was a memorable experience for her son Archie. \u201cYou guys came over with our other friends, and it was the first time we met the two of you,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd to this day, Archie will still say when do I get to see the cowboys again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Wolfe Herd added that she enjoys visiting the duchess in Montecito. \u201cYou\u2019re such an amazing hostess,\u201d the Bumble CEO said. \u201cWhen you go to your home, you\u2019re just engulfed in love and coziness and yumminess, like both from just like the energy and the surroundings, but like the things you feed us and like the way you treat us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/style\/story\/meghan-markle-reveals-she-had-preeclampsia-in-the-first-episode-of-her-new-podcast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the premiere episode of Meghan Markle\u2019s new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, the Duchess of Sussex interviews Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd.
