The Duchess of Sussex has spoken about missing one of Prince Archie's big milestones as she appeared among the speakers at the TIME100 Summit in New York City on Wednesday.
Meghan, 43, who looked elegant in a stylish tan suit, said that her five-year-old son "is going to lose his first tooth this week, and I hope to make it home in time for it!"
She also revealed why her recent Netflix show, As Ever, wasn't filmed inside her stunning Montecito home, explaining: "My kids are coming home for their nap, and 80 people in the kitchen isn't the childhood memory I'd like them to have."
And with all the busy things going on in her life, Meghan confessed this was the "happiest" she's ever been. The mother-of-two explained: "This is the happiest I've ever been. To have a partner and husband who is so supportive, and to have healthy kids who are so joyful in the freeness of their life and the safety of their life that we create for them.

Speaking of her hopes for Archie and her daughter, Princess Lilibet, she said: "I certainly want to role model for my children. I'm conscious of not just raising a very strong and confident woman, but also having a son. It's just as paramount of importance for young men to be raised with a confidence and sense of self for the women around them."
The Duchess was joined at the summit by actors Demi Moore and Ryan Reynolds.
Ahead of the event, its website stated: "The fifth-annual TIME100 Summit will feature leaders from the global TIME community to spotlight solutions and encourage action toward a better world."

Return to the Big Apple
Meghan's outing marked her second trip to New York in recent weeks. The Duchess attended a Broadway Show at the Majestic Theatre on 11 April.
The former Suits star, who wore a black shirt and a Caroline Herrera houndstooth pencil skirt for the outing, met the cast of Gypsy after watching the performance.
She shared her admiration for Broadway star, Audra McDonald, in an Instagram post, writing: "If you get a chance to see @gypsybway, you absolutely must. Congratulations to the tremendously talented cast and crew for creating magic on that stage."
It's been a busy start to 2025 for the Duchess, with the release of her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, her second podcast series, Confessions of a Female Founder, and the launch of her lifestyle brand, As Ever.
