For the interview, the As Ever founder and mother of two opted for sharp, tailored ease, arriving in a three‑piece Ralph Lauren suit rendered in midnight navy. The ensemble featured a crisp button‑up vest and matching trousers topped with a sleek, structured blazer. Ever a master of elegant details, Meghan paired the suit with Aquazzura Savoy pumps and adorned herself with signature treasures: her Birks Snowflake Snowstorm diamond earrings and a classic gold Cartier Tank watch, a piece that has long become an emblem of her modern royal era.
The conversation between the Duchess and Grede—a fashion powerhouse and founding partner of SKIMS—was as captivating as it was revealing. The two spoke openly about life under the global spotlight, touching upon perceptions and misconceptions about the Duchess herself. When asked about reshaping her public narrative, Meghan responded with disarming clarity: “Yes, I would ask people to tell the truth.”
A moment of reflection came as she spoke about her now‑famous “Baby Mama” dance video, a clip that surfaced online four years ago. “That was four years ago. So it’s also a really great reminder that with all the noise or whatever people do, there’s still a whole life—a real, authentic, fun life—that’s happening behind the scenes,” she said.
As she embraces this chapter of life, leaning into both privacy and selective disclosure, the Duchess emphasized the joy and freedom of sharing moments on her own terms. “I’m just grateful that now, being back on social as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms,” she added, reminding listeners that beyond the lens, her life—and legacy—are shaped by resilience, grace, and an unmistakable sense of style.
