Meghan Markle shares 'guilt' over money and admits she 'will never have enough'
Meghan Markle has opened up about her feelings on money, admitting that she struggles to adopt a mindset where she can believe in the 'promise of something more for herself' As Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, continues to embrace her entrepreneurial journey, the proud mother-of-two has been candid about her experiences in the public eye. From offering a peek into her daily diet on her Netflix show, to sharing heartwarming glimpses of her home life on social media, Meghan has given fans an insight into what it's like to live as a member of the Royal family - even discussing more sensitive topics such as finance. Despite being a successful actress in her own right and married to a Prince, Meghan is far from living hand-to-mouth. However, that doesn't mean she hasn't faced challenges, particularly when striving for financial independence. In the season finale of her podcast 'Confessions of a Female Founder', Meghan had a conversation with Sara Blakely, the billionaire founder of shapewear brand Spanx. During their chat, 54 year old Blakely urged listeners to become more "self aware" and scrutinise their attitudes towards money, reports the Express. "A lot of people don't even realise they have not great narratives around success or around obtaining a lot of financial freedom and money for themselves," she noted, adding that she wanted to be able to invest in herself. The Duchess of Sussex, aged 43, expressed her views on financial independence, stating: "But that is so hard to understand because, I genuinely believe, I would love to adopt that level of a mindset where as you're talking about even, for a lot of people, not being able to buy into the hope or the promise of something more for themselves in financial freedom." Meghan went on to discuss the societal pressures women face regarding money: "I think so many women, especially, we're taught to not even talk about money, and there's lots of guilt mentality surrounding having a lot," she added. "And at the same time, there's a scarcity mindset that it's easy to attach to, of like, 'I'll never have enough.' ". Sara shared her own philosophy with Meghan: "I always tell women, in particular, I say: 'Money is really fun to make, really fun to spend and really fun to give away.' I think money makes you more of who you already were." Despite her considerable wealth, Meghan's insights on finance may surprise some admirers, particularly considering her transformation since marrying Prince Harry in 2019. Before her Royal nuptials, Meghan was estimated to be worth around £3.7million, thanks largely to her acting career, including her role in the first seven series of the TV show Suits. However, following their decision to step back from Royal duties in 2020, Meghan and Harry announced their intention to "work to become financially independent," seeking greater autonomy over their lives, a journey not without its challenges. During a candid conversation with Oprah Winfrey one year following their relocation to the US, Prince Harry disclosed that he had been "literally cut me off financially" by the Royal family after they stepped back from Royal duties, expressing gratitude for the inheritance from his late mother Princess Diana, which made their move possible. "Without that, we wouldn't have been able to do this," he remarked, alluding to their 2020 shift to Montecito, California. Since their transatlantic switch, both the Duke and Duchess have inked profitable contracts with Netflix and Spotify alongside unveiling an explosive memoir, although Harry confessed the commercial ventures weren't initially in their blueprint. "From my perspective, all I needed was enough money to be able to pay for security to keep my family safe," he shared with Winfrey.

And at the same time, there's a scarcity mindset. 'It's easy to attach to (the idea) of, like, 'I'll never have enough.'' Meghan added: 'I'd love to have a healthier mindset about money.' The former actress best known for her role in 'Suits', made the comments on Tuesday's (27.05.25) episode of her entrepreneur-focused podcast, which is part of her recent media and business resurgence.

The London Times reported in September 2024 Harry and his older brother Prince William inherited nearly £12 million following the death of their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.

Elsewhere in her podcast episode, Meghan spoke about her experience as a solo entrepreneur, describing it as both 'incredibly lonely' and 'liberating'. She said her partnership with Netflix marked a turning point in her career. 'It was a U-turn moment,' she said of their involvement in her new lifestyle brand As Ever. Meghan launched her first line of As Ever products in April, shortly after the debut of her Netflix show 'With Love, Meghan'. Last month, she also launched a podcast under Lemonada Media, part of a wider expansion into branded content and wellness-related ventures. Meghan's recent focus on media, entrepreneurship and lifestyle branding follows her and Harry's dramatic step back from royal duties that began in 2020, when she and the prince left their official roles within the royal family.

Meet Archana Sankaranarayanan, India's deepest female freediver
In the latest Mission: Impossible film, Tom Cruise's character Ethan Hunt dives nearly 500 feet into the ocean to retrieve something key to his mission — surviving a torn diving suit, freezing temperatures, and a dangerously long breath-hold. While it makes for thrilling cinema, reality is starkly different. For most people, descending even 60 feet underwater without breathing equipment is a risky proposition. But for Archana Sankaranarayanan, it is a competitive pursuit and one in which she now holds multiple national records. Based in Chennai, Archana is the deepest female freediver in India, holding national records across all four depth disciplines of the sport: Constant Weight, Constant Weight Bi-Fins, Constant Weight No Fins, and Free Immersion. She began her record-breaking streak at the AIDA Mabini Depth Quest, held from May 1 to 6 this year in Mabini, the Philippines, where she set four national records, including surpassing one of her own. Just two weeks later, at the Hug Cup in Panglao, also in the Philippines, she broke two more records, both of which were also her own. Freediving is the sport of diving into the depths of the ocean, with minimal or no gear and no oxygen support, and Archana has dived as deep as 35m (115 feet approx). Just a few years ago, Archana was living a very different life — as a corporate lawyer. 'It was my dream job. I saw all the glamour and felt like I was in the TV show Suits,' she says. But a scuba diving course in the Andamans changed everything. Soon after, she quit her job, moved to the islands, and began working as a scuba diving professional. 'There's pressure in law, but underwater, there's even more pressure. Literal water pressure. But I loved every bit of it,' she says. It was during her time teaching scuba that she stumbled upon a video of freediver Shubham Pandey. 'I couldn't understand how he was staying underwater so long. I was just… fascinated.' Within months, she had messaged him, signed up for a course in Bali, and booked a one-way ticket. 'I had no goal of being the deepest woman freediver or anything,' she says. 'I just wanted to break one record in the Free Immersion category because I was very comfortable with that.' With this, she has become a rare athlete, and one of the few Indian women, to make a mark in a sport that is still finding its footing in the country. According to the 32-year-old, freediving is more a mental sport than a physical one. 'Scuba diving was amazing, but in freediving it's more like looking within yourself. You're holding your breath and going as deep as possible. Freediving made me look within. It forced me to work on my mental and physical self,' she says. Archana's progress came with discipline, discomfort, and a steep learning curve. After her initial course in Bali, she continued training in Murudeshwar, Karnataka, where she dived at Netrani Island. Then she trained with freediving school Apnea in Bali, with an all-women's team and later with renowned freediving coach Sergei Busargin in Thailand, who helped her master one of the sport's most challenging categories: Constant Weight No Fins (CNF). 'I'm not a born athlete,' she says. 'I struggled with food, protein intake, and losing bone density. But I trained every day in the ocean, pool, and dry sessions, and slowly started believing I could do it. I am privileged to be able to get access to this kind of coaching. I'm sure there are better freedivers. I've seen fisher women in Tamil Nadu who go deeper in a sari to pluck seaweed,' she says. Even as she racks up national records, Archana is already thinking about who might break them next. 'I don't want to be the only one doing this,' she says. 'I hope someone else comes and beats all my records so I can come back and beat them again.' What excites her most is the slow but steady rise of Indian women entering the sport. For Archana, the deeper goal is not just about depth, but access and encouraging more women to cross boundaries, both in water and beyond it.
