During the virtual chat, Meghan and Harry opened up about lockdown life, delighting fans with an insight into their son Archie's milestones. "We were both there for his first steps, his first run, his first fall, his first everything," Harry said.
Meghan then reflected: "And it's just fantastic because I think in so many ways, we are fortunate to be able to have this time to watch him grow and in the absence of COVID, we would be travelling and working more externally, and we'd miss a lot of those moments."
The former Suits actress went on: "So I think it's been a lot of really good family time."
