Meghan Markle has used her latest podcast episode to interview the founder of a global brand creating eco-friendly hair care and beauty accessories for women.
The Duchess of Sussex had a chat with Kitch founder Cassandra Thurswell in episode seven of her eight-part series Confessions of a Female Founder.
The episode, which came out this morning, is the penultimate part of the Lemonada Media podcast which has been releasing a new part each Tuesday since April 8.
This has included interviews with Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd; Girls Who Code founder Reshma Saujani; and Highbrow Hippie co-founder Kadi Lee.
Others were IT Cosmetics co-founder Jamie Kern Lima; Clevr Blends co-founder Hannah Mendoza; and Heather Hasson, co-founder of medical scrubs brand Figs.
In episode six last Tuesday with Hasson, Meghan spoke about ‘getting your hands dirty’ as a company founder and how she ‘doesn’t have time to cook every day’.
The podcast comes after the Duchess’s Netflix lifestyle series With Love, Meghan was released in March and her new brand As Ever was launched last month.
Yesterday, Meghan thanked those ‘who have loved and supported us throughout our love story’, as she and Prince Harry celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary.

The Duchess posted an image on Instagram of a notice board featuring a collection of snapshots of the couple from their private photo album, with the message: ‘Seven years of marriage. A lifetime of stories.
‘Thanks to all of you (whether by our side, or from afar) who have loved and supported us throughout our love story – we appreciate you.’
She added: ‘Happy anniversary!’ followed by a red heart emoji.
Among the images were numerous pictures of Meghan and Harry embracing, and one of the duke tenderly cradling the head of one of their children as a swaddled newborn.
There was also a baby scan labelled Archie, a photo of Archie kissing Lilibet on the forehead, as well as a number of notes including a central one in Meghan’s handwriting reading ‘Our love story’.
The accompanying music was The Proclaimers’ hit track I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles).
Harry wed former Suits actress Meghan at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle on May 19 2018. But the pair stepped away from the working monarchy less than two years later for a new life in the US.
Harry has faced a lengthy rift with his brother Prince William and an estrangement from his father the King, telling the BBC this month that Charles will not speak to him.
