Meghan admits motherhood isn't how she ‘envisioned' the experience
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Meghan, Duchess of Sussex has admitted motherhood isn't how she 'envisioned' the experience. The 43-year-old and her husband Prince Harry, 40, had their son, Prince Archie, in May 2019 while living in the UK as working members of the royal family before the couple stepped down from royal duties in 2020 and moved to the United States, eventually settling in Montecito, California – and their daughter Princess Lilibet was born in June 2021, a year after the couple's relocation to a $14 million mansion. Meghan has now said on the latest episode of her 'Confessions of a Female Founder' podcast about how her expectations of motherhood clashed with reality, telling listeners: 'I had a whole vision. You fast forward (and)... it was not the way I envisioned it.' Meghan added she had 'always wanted to be a mom' and imagined a glamorous multitasking version of parenting. 'I had a whole vision of myself giving speeches with a baby on (my) hip,' she said. Laughing, she added there were 'a lot of external things happening by the time (she) had both pregnancies and both babies.' While Meghan has mostly kept her children out of the public eye, she has begun offering more personal glimpses into her life as a mother. In April she described her morning routine with Archie and Lilibet, including making breakfast and doing school drop-offs. The former 'Suits' actress also uses her podcast to share parenting insights. In recent months, she has returned to Instagram, where she occasionally posts about her family life. On Mother's Day, she shared a photo of herself holding Archie and Lilibet. She wrote in a caption alongside the snap: 'To these two gems – who still attempt to climb 'mama mountain', smother me with kisses, and make everyday the most memorable adventure – being your mom is the greatest privilege of my life.'

Meghan claims freckles cost her acting work
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Meghan, Duchess of Sussex missed out on acting work because of her freckles. The 43-year-old royal has recalled how she was constantly rejected for beauty and skincare advertisements as an aspiring actress because her complexion wasn't considered to be perfect. In conversation with IT Cosmetics founder Jamie Kern Lima on her 'Confessions of a Female Founder' podcast, Meghan said: 'I was an auditioning actor, auditioning for commercials and I remember my commercial agent could not submit me for beauty or skincare ads because I had freckles. 'They were like: 'No, no, it's just never going to work because freckles aren't a sign of beauty.' It was just, you couldn't see yourself reflected there.' The former 'Suits' star – who was known as Meghan Markle until she married Prince Harry in 2018 – also revealed that her race worked against her during her attempts to establish herself in the industry. The duchess explained: 'I heard 'no' all the time, especially because I wasn't cookie-cutter for a specific type. 'And at the start of my auditioning career, you were either the Black girl or the white girl or the Latina girl. Everything was typecast so being mixed I could get into a lot of rooms that meant as a numbers game I heard 'no' even more.' Meghan and Harry – who are parents to Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three - stepped down as working members of the British royal family in 2020 before relocating to California and she recently e x p l a i n e d that she is the 'happiest (she's) ever been' in her life. She said at the TIME 100 Summit in New York: ' I'm the happiest I've ever been.
