IN LONDON
Meghan has opened up about her struggles as a working mother, crediting Prince Harry with helping her keep the 'balance' in their lives.
In a bonus episode of her podcast Confessions of a Female Founder, released on Tuesday, the Duchess of Sussex told guest Tina Knowles (AKA Beyoncé's mum), that keeping everything in check while working towards a goal is 'one of the hardest lessons' to earn.
Meghan went on to detail some of her strategies for slowing down and being present in her life, including simply '[taking] a minute to breathe' and 'having a date night'.
She added: '[Harry and I] have a date night tonight.'

While Meghan didn't elaborate on their plans, it comes just a few weeks after the pair was spotted looking cosy at Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour stop in Los Angeles.
She shared an album of pictures on Instagram afterwards, writing: 'About last night …. Thank you Beyonce and team for an amazing concert (and a very fun date night)! All love.'
The parents-of-two also celebrated their seven-year wedding anniversary on May 19, with Meghan posting a series of never-before-seen shots online.

Her latest podcast episode follows a new report that Meghan extended an invitation to country singer Dolly Parton to appear on her Netflix series but was turned down.
The first season of the Duchess of Sussex's show, With Love, Meghan, was released in March and featured eight episodes, each with different guests.
According to royal and entertainment commentator Kinsey Schofield, the country singer's team was 'livid' at the request.
'Because no, they don't want to risk Dolly's reputation Q score [and] her popularity by associating with Meghan Markle,' she alleged in a recent podcast episode of The Nerve with Maureen Callahan.
'They knew that this ask was just to give Meghan Markle credibility in this lifestyle space, a space that Dolly does have a lot of credibility in.
'Dolly is not only incredibly popular and loved by the general public, but she also is somebody who can float around within these different places.
'Her team really feels like Meghan was trying to take advantage of her popularity.'

Meghan shares video of Lilibet's Disneyland celebration
The Duchess of Sussex has shared another intimate video of the family celebrating Princess Lilibet's fourth birthday at Disneyland. The post on Instagram showed the family enjoying rides at the California attraction, drawing comparisons with Prince Harry's childhood trip to Florida's Walt Disney World with Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1993. The montage also features a clip of Archie, six, and Lili meeting Disney princess Elsa, from the film Frozen. Meghan wears a Minnie Mouse hat in some of the snaps featured in the video, while another image shows a two-tier Little Mermaid-themed birthday cake for Lili. The duchess captioned the video: "Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!" The footage was reminiscent of photos taken of the duke when he was eight and his mother Diana took him and William to Walt Disney World. At the time, the royal siblings were photographed sitting at the front of a log on the Splash Mountain ride, with adults from their mother's entourage behind them and Diana seated at the back. Meghan's post follows several family shots in recent days to mark Lili's birthday. In one, she posted a throwback video of herself twerking in a bid to bring on labour while pregnant with the princess, while another post featured a black and white snap of her cuddling Lili. In another post, she described how Lili's relationship with Harry was "the sweetest bond to watch unfold". She shared two photos of the princess with her father, the duke, adding: "Daddy's little girl and favorite adventurer. Happy birthday Lili!" Lili - the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's youngest child - was born on June 4 2021 and was named Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor. Lilibet is named after her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Mindy Kaling's 'superstitions' influence her acting career
Mindy Kaling's superstitions have stopped her from appearing in Never Have I Ever. The 45-year-old actress co-created the hit Netflix series, which is set in the San Fernando Valley in California, and Mindy has now revealed why she didn't cast herself in the show. Mindy - who previously co-created The Sex Lives of College Girls - told The Hollywood Reporter: "A show literally about an Indian American family in southern California, and if I wasn't on that - what's wrong with me? "I think there is a part of me that feels a little superstitious. I'm like, 'these seem to have gone well and I'm not in them so maybe I'll wait.'" Despite this, Mindy plans to return to acting soon. She shared: "I miss it. I would like to write or co-create a show for me to act in soon." Mindy would actually love to combine acting and directing in the coming years. She said: "I would love to do that again. "That's the thing that maybe in the next couple of years, when I launch a couple of other things that are earlier in the pipeline, that would be something that would be fun to do again." Mindy previously admitted that she feels most comfortable writing about "strivers and dorks". The Hollywood star is a huge fan of the X-rated drama series Euphoria - which stars the likes of Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney - but Mindy doubts she could write a similar type of TV show. Mindy - who recently co-created the sports comedy Running Point - told The Hollywood Reporter: "I love Euphoria' and I think [creator] Sam [Levinson] is like a genius. I think he has a lot to say about things like sex and drug use and addiction and those are incredibly interesting, but we don't have a ton of experience in that. "I watch that show on the edge of my seat, vicariously, but I feel like nerds lusting over guys is more what we feel comfortable writing about so that's why we do this. We write about strivers and dorks and people who are underestimated."
