Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is getting real in a new podcast interview, sporting sweatpants and a rare makeup-free look. Appearing on the April 28 episode of “The Jamie Kern Lima Show,” the former Meghan Markle, 43, dressed in a black sweat set and white sneakers. The top of her sweatshirt was stitched with the names of her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet , whom she shares with husband Prince Harry.
Introducing the episode, host Jamie Kern Lima said she and Meghan are usually “in our cozy sweats and no makeup” when they catch up. “So that’s how we are today, too, sitting right here in our cozies with no makeup,” Kern Lima said. “And I’m inviting you into the rocking chairs with us.
” When reminiscing on previous times getting together with the same casual appearance, Kern Lima commented that Meghan looks “the exact same with no makeup as (with) makeup.” Meghan later exchanged the sentiment, telling her friend — who also went makeup-free — she looks “so pretty.” Meghan said when Kern Lima proposed the idea of recording the episode bare-faced in sweats, she quickly agreed and responded, “Let them see us.
” During an emotional moment talking about the pride she feels for her kids, Meghan wiped tears from her face and joked, “This is why it’s nice to not have makeup on.” The appearance is described as Meghan's first-ever podcast interview. However, Meghan launched her own podcast series, “Confessions of a Female Founder,” which she hosts, earlier this month.
Throughout the episode, Meghan discussed using her last name Markle, whether she plans to write another book and any potential of running for office. She also opened up about life with Harry and their two children. Though she generally keeps her children out of the public eye, Meghan has shared occasional sweet memories with Archie and Lilibet and snippets of their lives on social media .
During the first season of her Netflix series “With Love, Meghan,” the duchess shared tidbits about her children . The kids never made an appearance during the show, however. Female celebrities like Meghan have made a push in recent years to normalize wearing no makeup publicly.
Pamela Anderson has been arguably leading the movement, frequently walking red carpets makeup-free . Selena Gomez posted a makeup-free selfie last year on Instagram with the caption, “Real.” Last month, Amanda Seyfried was praised for wearing no makeup to show how she deals with facial eczema in a video.
Similarly, fans loved when Millie Bobby Brown rocked a lavender pimple patch — which matched her sweater — during an March 2024 interview with Drew Barrymore..
