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.'
