Meghan Markle news: Duchess clarifies her most important ‘title’ after famous moment with Mindy Kaling

Meghan Markle has clarified her most important ‘title’ after correcting actress Mindy Kaling on an episode of her Netflix series With Love, Meghan.

The 43-year-old made the clarification during the latest episode of her podcast Confessions of a Female Founder with guest, Girls Who Code founder Reshma Saujani.

There’s been a lot of talk around titles when it comes to Meghan, but she explained the one that matters most is the one with the most significance. 

Meghan confirmed that it’s ‘mom’ which means most to her with Saujani, who recalled a comment she had made during a previous interview.

“You have this beautiful line that I quote all the time that ‘the most important title I have is mom.’ And I so desperately wanted that title. You know?” Saujani said after the pair shared their experiences of suffering miscarriages.

Meghan shared, ‘Yes. Now you have the tile of mom. Just like me. Favourite title. Love it. I love being a mom … it’s my favourite thing.”

The duchess began the conversation with Saujani by saying, “I’ll bring this up if you are comfortable talking about it… I have spoken about the miscarriage we experienced.

“And I think in some parallel way, when you have to learn to detach from the thing that you have so much promise and hope for and to be able to be OK at a certain point to let something go, something goes that you plan to love for a long time.”
