Meghan Markle Talks Possible Future Collab with Princess Lilibet—and Tina Knowles Weighs In

Running a business is no small feat—but throw family into the mix and, well, things can get complicated fast. Meghan Markle touched on exactly that during the latest episode of her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, in a conversation with none other than Tina Knowles. Yep, that Tina Knowles—the woman who raised Beyoncé and built a brand alongside her with their haircare line, Cécred. If anyone has insight on navigating family and business, it’s her.

During their chat on the Tuesday, June 3 episode, Meghan brought up a really sweet and thoughtful idea: What would it be like to one day go into business with her daughter, Princess Lilibet?

“What fascinates me about Cécred is that you're working directly with your daughter,” Meghan said. “Just curious—I wonder if one day I’ll be in business with Lili and we’ll be building something.” She then asked Tina what advice she’d give to anyone going into business with a family member, especially a mother or daughter.

Tina didn’t hold back with her honest (and very relatable) answer. She said working with Beyoncé is “the best” but also acknowledged that it comes with challenges.

“There are difficulties sometimes because when you're dealing with your child—or their dealing with their mother—you know, you have disagreements,” she explained. “I’m the one that always caves. I’ve been like that since I was young. If my kids are mad at me, I can’t take it, so I’ll apologize.”

She was quick to clarify she wasn’t a pushover, though. “Not that they ran over me—because they were really good kids. But even as adults, if we have a disagreement or whatever, I’m the one to call because I don’t want to waste that time. And I don't ever want to not be close to my kids.”
