Meghan Markle appeared to have returned to her Montecito residence after a high-profile appearance in New York City, as she revealed an exciting personal milestone in her son Prince Archie’s life.
The Duchess of Sussex, who had traveled with Prince Harry to attend the prestigious TIME100 Summit, was eager to make it back in time for a special family moment.
At the event, Meghan took the stage to speak about her latest ventures and projects as the founder of As Ever, while their two young children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, remained at home in California. During her discussion at the Jazz at Lincoln Center, Meghan gave the audience a charming peek into her life as a mom, sharing that Archie is about to lose his first tooth — a major moment for any parent.
“It’s just about to happen,” Meghan Markle told the crowd with a smile. “And I really hope I make it back home in time for it!” Her words drew warm reactions, with many appreciating the relatable, heartfelt moment amid the glitz of the evening.
After the summit, Meghan took to Instagram to share her gratitude for the experience. Alongside a cheerful photo from the panel, she wrote, “Thanks to TIME100 (@time) for having this alum come back to celebrate, chat, and sprinkle a little joy. I had a great time with you, Jessica Sibley. Thanks to you and your team!”
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are believed to have left New York shortly after the event wrapped up. With the average flight from New York to Montecito lasting around six hours, it’s likely the Duchess of Sussex arrived just in time to witness her son’s special milestone.
As Meghan Markle continues to balance her public commitments with her role as a mother, this latest glimpse into her family life offers a touching reminder of the small, personal joys that still mean the most — even for someone as globally recognized as Meghan.
