Meghan Markle<\/a> said that she flew back home to Montecito, California<\/a>, from Europe just for just one day before heading to New York and Washington D.C, because she needed to see her “babies”. The Duchess of Sussex has had a busy couple of weeks, first making a surprise solo appearance in France to attend Balenciaga’s show,<\/a> before making a string of appearances last week with her husband, Prince Harry<\/a>, in New York.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Meghan travelled to Washington, D.C<\/a> to speak at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit<\/a>. There, she revealed that she made a 6,000-mile dash home for a brief reunion with Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four, the week before, instead of heading straight to the Big Apple.<\/p>\n

Alyson Shontell, Editor-in-Chief of Fortune, said to the Duchess<\/a>: “You’ve been to Europe. You were just in New York, which, congratulations, you just won a humanitarian award for your work with online safety for parents and children, and you made it home for one day to see your kids.”<\/p>\n

Meghan laughed and replied: “Because I had to. We were talking about that because everyone said ‘Oh you must have gone from Paris straight to New York’.<\/p>\n

“I said ‘No, I need to see my babies’. So I went back to California for a day and then continued on.”<\/p>\n

Meghan also described how she and Harry had “no plan” when they first moved to California after Megxit five years ago, except “nesting and healing”.<\/p>\n

“I think five years ago was a very different situation for all of us,” she said. “And you know, Archie<\/a> was so little, and I had just got pregnant with Lili<\/a> around that same time, so we were nesting – nesting and healing.<\/p>\n

“And also, I don’t know I had the bandwidth at that time to think about what the big picture dream was. There was no plan.<\/p>\n

“It was just, let’s get through these next couple of years, create community, which was always so important to both of us in our new environment.”<\/p>\n

She described how she would spend time “in Birkenstocks and sweats” and make a lot of jam.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the founding of her As Ever business, Meghan said people assumed she would venture into fashion or beauty, and added: “But those five years at home, I wasn’t running around wearing beautiful outfits.<\/p>\n

“I was probably in Birkenstocks and sweats like the rest of us, especially during Covid<\/a>, or just barefoot at home, but I was making a lot of jam, so it ended up becoming the thing that really was my passion project.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meghan Markle said that she flew back home to Montecito, California, from Europe just for just one day…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":201806,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[87512,6491,96,2744,2745,100,87511,87510,3566,3567,3565,68053,46804,2747,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-201805","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-archie-and-lilibet","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-harry-and-meghan","tag-harry-and-meghan-news","tag-meghan-markle","tag-meghan-markle-babies","tag-meghan-markle-children","tag-meghan-markle-latest","tag-meghan-markle-latest-news","tag-meghan-markle-news","tag-prince-archie","tag-princess-lilibet","tag-royal-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201805","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=201805"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201805\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/201806"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=201805"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=201805"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=201805"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
