New York, NY – Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made a high-profile return to the public spotlight at the 2025 TIME100 Summit, held at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City on Wednesday. The Duchess of Sussex captivated attendees with personal insights about her two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, offering a rare glimpse into their family life.
Meghan Markle Talks About Her Children’s Happiness and Milestones
In a candid conversation with Jessica Sibley, CEO of Time, Meghan shared that both of her children are “healthy and happy.” The Duchess added a personal touch by revealing a sweet milestone for her five-year-old son, Archie. “He’s going to lose his first tooth this week,” Meghan said, expressing her excitement and hope that she would be able to make it home in time to witness the special moment.
Her words touched the hearts of many, as she spoke with warmth and affection about her children. Prince Archie, who recently celebrated his fifth birthday, continues to grow up in the public eye, but his mother’s personal updates remind fans of the more private, family-oriented side of the Sussexes’ lives.
Prince Louis’ Birthday Tribute and Royal Family Dynamics
Meghan’s comments come just hours after Prince William and Kate Middleton shared a new photo and a charming video of their youngest son, Prince Louis, in celebration of his seventh birthday on April 23. In the official birthday portrait, Prince Louis is seen with his gap-toothed smile, sitting on a piece of wood, looking as joyful as ever. The royal couple also shared behind-the-scenes footage of their son to mark the occasion.
Despite their close connection to the royal family, King Charles and other members of the British royal family did not publicly acknowledge the birthdays of Prince Harry and Meghan’s children. This lack of public recognition has sparked discussion among royal watchers, as both Archie and Lilibet hold royal titles as grandchildren of the British monarch.
Meghan Markle Opens Up About Family Life
During the interview, Meghan also shared her thoughts on balancing her professional and family life. When asked why she chose not to film her show in their luxurious mansion, Meghan humorously responded, “My kids are coming home for their nap,” adding, “Eighty people in the kitchen isn’t really the childhood memory I would love for them to have.” Her statement emphasized her desire to prioritize her children’s comfort and maintain a more grounded, family-centric environment despite their high-profile status.
Conclusion: A Glimpse Into the Sussex Family’s Life
Meghan Markle’s appearance at the TIME100 Summit provided a rare and heartfelt look into the family life of the Sussexes. With her children’s milestones and her dedication to being a hands-on mother, Meghan continues to showcase her love for her family. As Prince Harry and Meghan navigate life away from royal duties, their focus remains on maintaining a stable and loving environment for their children, while still engaging with the world in meaningful ways.
