Meghan respected Ivanka’s ability to diversify her business portfolio and appreciated Ivanka’s responsible nature.

 “Instead she was graduating from The Wharton School (cum laude, I might add), launching the Trump Hotel Collection, and building her own brand. Her eponymous brand, which, by the way, seems to include every covetable thing one could imagine. Don’t get me started on her jewelry collection: and the natural extension of her brand with a kid’s collection – a smart choice given that she is now a proud mama.”

Success for Duchess Meghan means Balancing motherhood & career

“I often ask powerful and successful women how they balance it all – juggling work, being a mom & wife, taking time for yourself and taking care of yourself, straddling the line between letting yourself go or looking like you just stepped off a runway (or at least had the time to put some lipstick on). How do they do it? How does she do it? This much I know – when we have drinks, I will make sure I order whatever she does – because this woman seems to have the formula for success (and happiness) down pat.”
