Meghan Markle has made a “confession” during an onstage appearance in New York.
Accompanied by husband Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex stepped out at the TIME100 Summit at Lincoln Centre in Manhattan.
Speaking on stage alongside Time’s Jessica Sibley, the Confessions of a Female Founder podcast host was asked about her own “confessions”.
“A confession for you today that I can very comfortable say is that I’m the happiest I’ve ever been,” Meghan said.
“To have a partner and a husband who is so supportive and have healthy kids who are so joyful … I never would have imagined at this point I would feel so happy and grateful, and I really do.”
The Duchess of Sussex also spoke about being a working mother, revealing that her five-year-old son, Prince Archie, is going to lose his first tooth “this week, which is about to happen, and I just hope I’m back home in time for it!” (The family, including three-year-old Princess Lilibet, is based in California.)
Meghan also revealed why her much-maligned Netflix series wasn’t actually shot in the family’s California mansion.
“On this show, it’s a crew of 80 people,” Meghan said. “People said, ‘Why didn’t you film the show in your house?’ I said, ‘My kids are coming home for their nap.’ Eighty people in the kitchen isn’t really the childhood memory I would love for them to have.”
Meghan has been busy with her own projects in 2025 with the Netflix series, With Love, Meghan being a hit for the streamer (a second series will premiere later this year).
She also debuted her lifestyle brand As Ever earlier this month with the first collection of food products selling out in 45 minutes.
Meghan said she was shocked by the response. “After a year of work and development and manufacturing, we had a feeling there would be some buzz surrounding it, but 45 minutes was not something I could have anticipated, she said.
She also premiered her new podcast after one season of Archetypes, which was dropped by Spotify. Confessions of a Female Founder sees the Duchess of Sussex take the mic to interview fellow female founders (including some famous friends) about their journeys in business and lessons learned along the way.
The Duchess of Sussex recently opened up about how other female founders have inspired her on her own entrepreneurial journey.
“What’s been meaningful is being able to talk about my own entrepreneurial journey with other female founders who are either on their own trajectory of growth or have IPO’d, sold, or created high impact brands and gone through all of the learning curves that we all do at the start,” she told People magazine.
“You’re just trying to figure out how to walk, then you want to learn how to run, and then you want to learn how to fly. All of those things take time. There’s also something very exciting and energising about learning something new as we get older,” she explains. “The entrepreneurial journey, for anyone, is a lot, and I’m also really, really lucky that so many of my close friends are female founders that I can glean advice from.”
