From royal announcments to ‘brave’ jam: The wildest moments from Meghan’s new interview

The moment that truly broke the internet: writer Kaitlyn Greenidge reveals she arrived at a friend’s Upper East Side home for their second meeting and was met with a full, formal introduction.

“The house manager announces, ‘Meghan, Duchess of Sussex,’ even though we appear to be the only other two people in the house,” Kaitlyn recounts.

Meghan leans into the origin story of her lifestyle brand As Ever, explaining that it was all born from a simple pot of jam simmering away in her Montecito kitchen.

Now, she hopes the origins of her lifestyle brand inspire her children, telling the magazine, “I hope they see the value of being brave.”

“They saw it when the jam was just a pot on the stove, bubbling.”

During their Beverly Hills Hotel sit-down, described by Greenidge as a “calculated choice” for its see-and-be-seen reputation, a waiter arrives with a cappuccino topped with a photorealistic image of Meghan from her 2019 South Africa tour.

Meghan laughs and says, “I recognise this picture. That’s from our trip to South Africa,” before snapping a photo.

Meghan also let slip that she texted designer Pierpaolo Piccioli to ask to attend the Balenciaga show.

“I was excited for him,” she explained. “I reached out and I said, ‘Happy to come and support you’. We kept it a secret, and it was really fun.”

The profile includes a surprisingly tender detail: Meghan placing her hand on her heart when she talks about Harry.

“No one in the world loves me more than him,” she shared. “He’s always going to make sure that he has my back.”
