Meghan Markle reveals why she promptly needs to leave NYC to see son Archie

The tooth fairy is headed to Montecito.

Meghan Markle, 43, returned to the Big Apple Wednesday to attend the glitzy Time100 Summit at Frederick P. Rose Hall in Manhattan, and shared that her 5-year-old son Prince Archie is about to lose his first tooth.

The Duchess of Sussex was dressed in a tan linen suit and white button-down shirt as she arrived to the star-studded event with her husband, Prince Harry, 40.

On stage, the mother of two said Archie’s milestone moment will happen “this week.”

“[It’s] about to happen, and I just hope I’m back home in time for it!” she told the audience.

The duchess also said that she’s the “happiest I’ve ever been.”

She explained: “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 “Suits” alum beamed from ear to ear as she joined the “world’s most influential people” for an evening featuring global leaders and celebrities who “encourage action toward a better world,” according to the publication.

It’s unclear if the Sussexes plan to attend the swanky Time100 Gala, which will be hosted by Snoop Dogg on Thursday night.

Footage from inside the star-studded fete will be aired by Time Studios and ABC on May 4.

The former actress previously graced the magazine’s cover in 2021 alongside Harry when they were named “The Most Influential People of 2021” — months after their bombshell sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Last week, the publication revealed its annual 2025 Time100 list featuring a round-up of the most influential people in the world.

Markle’s longtime pal Serena Williams, Demi Moore, Snoop Dogg, Ed Sheeran, Blake Lively and co-founder and CEO of Google DeepMind Demis Hassabis were among the 100 names that made the list.

While Markle, who is described as “founder of As Ever, actor and producer” on TIME’s website, and her husband didn’t make the cut this year, she had been confirmed as a speaker at the summit.

Other speakers include Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, Ryan Reynolds, comedian Nikki Glaser and “The Office” alum Rainn Wilson, among others.

The event coincides with the birthday of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s youngest son, Prince Louis, who turned 7 Wednesday.

Just one day before Markle’s appearance in New York City, Princess Beatrice’s husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi touched down in the Big Apple.

The luxury property developer — who shares a close bond with the Sussexes — posted about his arrival on social media, snapping a picture of the Manhattan Bridge with the caption, “GOOD MORNING NYC.”

He later posted a photo of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, located on Fifth Ave, before taking a stroll through sunny Central Park.

It is unclear if the Princess of York had joined him on the trip, or if Mozzi, 41, is expected to attend the ritzy event.

Both Mozzi and Beatrice were seen joining King Charles, Queen Camilla and the rest of the royals at Easter Sunday festivities over the weekend.

Markle, for her part, was spotted in the Big Apple earlier this month when she attended the production of “Gypsy” at the Majestic Theatre in Times Square.

Prior to her Broadway outing, Markle grabbed dinner at the Polo Bar in Midtown with some pals.
