Meghan Markle has revealed she one day hopes to "be in business" with Princess Lillibet in the final bonus episode of her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder.
Lillibet, who will celebrate her 4th birthday on Wednesday, is the youngest of the two children Meghan shares with Prince Harry.
The Duchess of Sussex was joined on her podcast by Tina Knowles, the mother of Beyoncé and Solange, to discuss her various ventures and motherhood.
In the episode, the 71-year-old fashion designer and businesswoman discussed her business relationship with Beyonce on their new hair product company, Cécred.

The chat prompted Meghan to speculate excitedly on her own future with Lilibet.
"I wonder if one day I'll be in business with Lili and we'll be building something," the Duchess of Sussex speculated.
"Yeah, that’s the best," responded Knowles.
After entertaining her hopes for the future, Meghan asked: "What advice do you have for people really digging into business together, especially as mother and daughter?"

"There are difficulties," Knowles admitted.
She explained there are often "disagreements" in such close relationships in the business world.
However, the 71-year-old revealed she was always "the one to cave".
"If my kids are mad at me, I can't take it. I'll cave. If we have a disagreement, it's her business, so she gets the win," Knowles said.

The pair’s conversation soon shifted to Meghan’s current business, As Ever, which specialises in lifestyle products and was launched earlier this year.
The duchess came under fire after much of her company's offerings, which included £10.80 raspberry jam, honey and herbal teas, sold out moments after going live – leaving many with unfulfilled orders and still no sign of a return.
"As ever, it was great. We planned for a year, and then everything sells out in 45 minutes - which yes, amazing. Great news," she began.
"That scarcity mentality at the beginning might be a hook for people, not dissimilar a sneaker drop. But when you're talking about products… I don't want you to eat that jam once every six months. I want it that to be on your shelf all the time.

Meghan then expressed the difficulty in working on what to do after the troubled launch, remembering she asked her team: "Are we going to replenish and sell out again in an hour? Or is that annoying as a customer?"
The duchess explained that she later calmed nerves with the advice: "Just pause. That happened. Let's wait until we are completely stable and we have everything we need."
This echoes her previous comments after the launch that she would take time to: "Step back, gather data from the launch, and figure out exactly what As Ever could be."
Meghan later said she is not planning to announce new products until the first quarter of 2026.
While discussing the company, Meghan also delved into how difficult things had been "behind the scenes".
"People see all the flashy stuff and they see the product. But that end game… those behind the scenes moments... how many tears I've shed," she admitted.
