Meghan Markle hints at starting business with daughter Lilibet



Meghan Markle could soon have a new business partner — her very own daughter Lilibet.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, spoke to Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, about her business mindset in a bonus episode of her “Confessions of a Female Founder” podcast.

During the episode, the “Suits” alum hinted that she’s considering “building something” with her and Prince Harry’s 3-year-old daughter in the future. (The duo also share 6-year-old son Archie.)

“I wonder if one day I’ll be in business with Lili and we’ll be building something,” she told Knowles, 71, who spoke about founding haircare brand Cécred with her famous daughter. “That’s the best.”

“You know you have disagreements, and you have to — I’m the one to always cave,” the “Matriarch” author said of working with the 35-time Grammy winner.

“If my kids are mad at me, I can’t take it. I’ll cave. If we have a disagreement, it’s her business, so she gets the win.”

While it’s unclear exactly which business Markle hopes to join forces on with her daughter, the former actress is likely referring to her lifestyle brand As Ever, which she launched in March.

“For me at the moment with As Ever, it was… great. We plan, we planned for a year, and then everything sells out in 45 minutes — which yes, amazing. Great news,” Markle said.

Knowles chimed in, “But then what do you do then?”

“And then you say, ‘Okay, we planned as best as we could,’” Markle responded. “Are we going to replenish and sell out again in an hour? Or is that annoying as a customer?”

“I’m looking at it saying, ‘Just pause. That happened. Let’s wait until we are completely stable and we have everything we need,’” she added.

Less than an hour after items from As Ever’s first drop went live, the entire stock sold out due to overwhelming demand.

“That scarcity mentality at the beginning might be a hook for people, not dissimilar a sneaker drop,” Markle said.

“But when you’re talking about products… I don’t want you to eat that jam once every six months. I want it that to be on your shelf all the time.”

She added that her customers “see all the flashy stuff and they see the product. But that end game, those behind the scenes moments, how many tears I’ve shed.”

Elsewhere during the conversation, the former working royal gushed over Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” tour that she attended with Harry last month.

Markle posted loved-up snaps with Harry on Instagram after attending the gig, writing, “About last night…. Thank you @beyonce and team for an amazing concert (and a very fun date night)! All love.”

Markle told Knowles that she “loved seeing Yvette there” — referring to the singer’s longtime publicist Yvette Noel-Schure.

“I wrote her a letter after I went to B’s concert a couple of years ago. She said the kindest things and I just wanted her to know how much it meant to me,” she said.

Markle and Knowles also discussed their mutual friend, Hollywood mogul Tyler Perry.

“Tyler talks about you all… he loves you,” Knowles told Markle. “He’s a really good friend of mine.”

“Yes, well, he’s a good friend to have,” the duchess said, calling him “the most extraordinary soundboard.”

“It’s interesting for us to be sitting down talking about business, because he is that person that when I have questions about business or just when you feel like you’re off your path, I need to check in with Tyler,” she added.

The Sussexes struck up a close friendship with the filmmaker after he famously allowed them to stay in his $18 million Los Angeles mansion after they quit royal life and moved across the pond in 2020. Perry is also Lilibet’s godfather.
