BREAKING NEWS Meghan Markle interviews founder of eco-friendly hair care and beauty accessories firm in latest podcast episode
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.

This £2.66 hair product is my secret to a perfect slicked-back ponytail
I wear my hair in a slicked-back ponytail approximately six days a week. Why? Well, it gives total Hailey Bieber-clean girl vibes and yet hides a multitude of sins. Locks all crushed and tangled? Simply slick them back, grab a matcha, and you're pretty much an Instagram influencer. Until recently, however, I had an issue with nailing the slicked-back look: my fluffy baby hairs. I have thick curls, and trying to scrape them back without bumps or kinks is already a challenge, made even more annoying when by lunchtime, despite all my hard work, my hairspray has stopped holding them in place and I look as if I've rubbed a balloon on my head. But as they say, inspiration comes from the strangest places. In my case, it was a video posted by North West (yes, Kim Kardashian 's pre-teen daughter) demonstrating how she perfects her slicked-back bun. In the clip, North styled her slightly damp hair and slicked her baby hairs down with Eco Style's £2.66 Olive Oil Styling Gel. Given that it's rare to see the billion dollar heiress using anything you can pick up in Boots, I decided to give it a go – and honestly, whether your hair is straight or curly, it's an absolute godsend. Infused with natural olive oil, the real allure of this gel is that it's so lightweight. Other products I've used to slick back my hair leave me looking a) like I've swum through an oil slick or b) feeling like I've lathered thick syrup on my hair. Eco's gel has the perfect balance: enough hold to keep my flyaways in place but an uber-light finish, so you can let your hair down at the end of the day without fearing it's going to be frozen in place. I apply it using a toothbrush to fully slick my curls back, using around a teaspoon of the product every day (so the 250ml tub also lasts forever).
