Meghan Markle is getting personal-and maybe a little pointed. On the newest episode of her podcast Confessions of a Female Founder, the former royal stepped away from palace drama and leaned into something that clearly means more to her these days: motherhood.
In a conversation with Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code and Moms First, Markle reflected on how much has changed since they first met in 2018 at Kensington Palace. Back then, she was still very much in royal mode-pregnant, high-profile, and based in London. Now? She’s living a very different life, and she’s not looking back.
Disaster aid or PR stunt? Meghan Markle responds to backlash with emotional video
Early in the episode, Markle shared what she now considers her most meaningful title. Spoiler: it’s not “Duchess.”
“Now you have the title of mom. Just like me. Favorite title. Love it. Oh my gosh. I love being a mom so much,”she said.
The timing of the comment feels deliberate. Her emphasis on her identity as a mother comes just as she’s facing fresh public criticism and renewed drama involving her husband, Prince Harry, and his charity Sentebale.
After royal exit and Netflix controversy, Markle’s words feel sharper than ever
Just days ago, Markle found herself in headlines again after correcting Mindy Kaling on her new Netflix series With Love, Meghan. When Kaling referred to her as “Meghan Markle,” she quickly responded, “You know I’m Sussex now.” The exchange sparked mixed reactions and brought her royal identity back under public scrutiny.
But that was just a prelude. Later in the podcast, Markle waded into more loaded territory: leadership-and knowing when to walk away.
Referencing a quote from Saujani, Markle said,“Leaders can not or should not stay in organizations forever,” adding, “You can’t stay innovative if you have the same person leading the movement forever.” No names were mentioned, but the context was clear.
Prince Harry recently stepped down as patron of Sentebale, the charity he co-founded in honor of his mother, Princess Diana. The decision followed reports of internal conflict and leadership clashes, especially with chairwoman Dr. Sophie Chandauka. According to DailyMail.com, an insider claimed: “The problem started with Meghan – Meghan doesn’t like Sophie.”
Markle’s remarks about leadership weren’t just abstract-they felt like a response. By framing stepping away as a way to protect and grow an organization, she may have been offering a quiet defense of Harry’s controversial exit.
This episode wasn’t Markle’s loudest moment,but it might’ve been one of her most calculated. While critics focus on what she’s walked away from, she seems more interested in what-and who-she’s choosing to stand for now.
