Meghan Markle wished to “be back in my cocoon” after giving birth to her and Prince Harry’s son, Prince Archie, in May 2019.
During the inaugural episode of the “Confessions of a Female Founder” podcast, Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd recalled seeing Meghan, 43, in her postpartum photo shoot with Archie.
“I’ll never forget the image of you after you delivered Archie and the whole world was, like, waiting for his debut,” Wolfe Herd, 35, recalled during the podcast episode, which was released on Tuesday, April 8. “I was either just becoming or about to become a new mom. I was like, ‘Oh, my God, how is this woman doing this?’”
She added, “How is this woman putting on heels and going and debuting a child in this, you know, beautiful outfit in front of the entire world? I could barely face a doorbell delivery for takeout food.”
Along with Archie, Meghan and Harry, 40, also share daughter Lilibet, 3. Wolfe Herd, meanwhile, is a mother of two sons — Bobby and Henry — with husband Michael Herd.
“Postpartum is wild. It’s so wild. It’s almost like one foot in one world and one foot in another world,” Wolfe Herd added. “It’s a very confusing place to live.”
As the two women discussed motherhood, Meghan wondered whether they feel differently because of raising kids in “in this post-pandemic culture.”
“You’ll still travel for work, as will I. But … I don’t leave the house to go to an office. My office is here,” Meghan explained. “Lili still naps. She gets picked up early and she naps, and she only has a half day in preschool. So, if she wakes up and she wants to find me, she knows where to find me.”
“I wouldn’t have it any other way. I don’t want to miss those moments. I don’t want to miss pickup if I don’t have to. I don’t want to miss drop-off,” she added. “I think what I do love the most about having young kids in this chapter, while I’m building, is the perspective that it brings. Because you’re building something while your child’s going through potty training.”
Meghan noted that “both are just as important,” referring to her children’s successes and her company’s successes.
“It’s like, ‘Great. OK, where’s the Cheerios? Well done.’ And then you’re championing your team 10 minutes later about something that is really high value for the world,” Meghan added. “But in your own world, that’s super high value. And in her world, that’s super high value.”
