Meghan Markle Offers a Rare, Relaxed Look Inside Her World During Harper’s Bazaar Cover Interview
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has given readers a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into her life and creative process in a new Harper’s Bazaar cover story released this week. The interview — conducted in October — took place at a friend’s elegant Upper East Side brownstone, where Meghan welcomed journalist Kaitlyn Greenidge for an in-depth conversation about her work, her family, and the projects that continue to inspire her.
Upon arrival, Greenidge describes being greeted warmly and shown into a quiet, sunlit room where a staff member introduced Meghan by her royal title, “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.” The atmosphere, she writes, was calm and unhurried — an intimate setting for a thoughtful conversation.
For the interview, Meghan kept her look simple and comfortable, dressed in black leggings and an oversized Northwestern University sweatshirt, with her hair pulled back. Greenidge noted that Meghan appeared fresh-faced and relaxed, her natural freckles visible, adding that she “looked like she could still be in college.”
At the time of the October meeting, Meghan and Prince Harry were in New York City to receive the Humanitarians of the Year Award from Project Healthy Minds, a nonprofit focused on mental health advocacy — a cause central to much of the couple’s public work.
The Harper’s Bazaar profile highlights both Meghan’s creative ambitions and her growing lifestyle venture, As Ever. During the interview, she reflected on her work ethic, her personal evolution, and the quiet strength she hopes to pass on to her two children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.
“I hope they see the value of being brave,” she told Greenidge. “They saw it when the jam was just a pot on the stove, bubbling. When you’re young, you’re a little more fearless — and that’s something worth holding on to.”
Earlier in the month, the pair also met at the iconic Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel, enjoying a relaxed conversation at a corner table. Greenidge noted Meghan’s thoughtful manner and the intentional way she engages with both her team and her surroundings.
Toward the end of their New York meeting, a waiter brought over a cappuccino with latte foam art featuring a highly detailed image of Meghan — a lighthearted moment Meghan immediately recognized from a photo taken during the couple’s 2019 trip to South Africa. She laughed and snapped a picture of the creation before continuing the conversation.
The Harper’s Bazaar feature accompanies a striking photo spread, including Meghan’s December 2025/January 2026 Art Issue cover, shot by photographer Malick Bodian. The images capture Meghan in an elegant, contemporary style that reflects her blend of creativity, confidence, and modern sensibility.
From Paris Fashion Week appearances to philanthropic engagements, the article paints a picture of a woman balancing motherhood, advocacy, and evolving creative ambitions — all while staying grounded, intentional, and focused on meaningful work.
As Ever continues to grow, the new profile offers readers a grounded portrait of the Duchess of Sussex at this moment in her life: reflective, purposeful, and looking toward a future shaped by courage, curiosity, and care.
