In the episode, Meghan reflected on the\u00a0candid Instagram video<\/a>\u00a0of her dancing in the hospital delivery room with husband\u00a0Prince Harry<\/a>, 40, which she posted on June 4 to celebrate their daughter\u00a0Princess Lilibet<\/a>\u2019s 4th birthday.\n<\/p>\n Meghan told Grede \u2014\u00a0founding partner and chief product officer of SKIMS<\/a>\u00a0and CEO and co-founder of Good American \u2014 that she was excited to share more of her true self online, echoing Grede\u2019s belief that authenticity is the key to success.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n “You have to be authentic,” Meghan, who launched her\u00a0lifestyle brand As ever<\/a>, earlier this year, said, before asking with a laugh, “Did you see my ‘Baby Momma’ dance?”\n<\/p>\n Grede, who was born and raised in London and lives in L.A. with her husband, Swedish entrepreneur Jens Grede, and their four children, said she had: “We maybe watched it like 20 times yesterday, and I was like, is that, is that her? Is that Prince Harry there with the fingers\u2026I was like, okay\u2026good on Harry, let’s go. But that’s you, right? Like that’s you in a way that we kind of haven’t been able to see you before.”\n<\/p>\n The candlelit table spread featured tall black candelabras and intricate cherry blossom floral arrangements. Among the starry guests were Rachel Zoe<\/a>, former Netflix CMO Bozoma Saint John, Russian tennis pro Maria Sharapova<\/a>, author and former US Ambassador to the Commonwealth of the Bahamas Nicole Avant, Phlur creative director and influencer Chriselle Lim, makeup artist and beauty founder Danessa Myricks<\/a>, and more.\n<\/p>\n “In a city built on big dreams and even bigger ambition, one truth remains, success is never built alone,” Grede began in the caption of her Instagram post. “For too long, we\u2019ve watched how men in business have mastered this: making deals over dinner, sharing opportunities over a game, and opening doors for one another in rooms we can\u2019t always see.”\n<\/p>\n
