“So if she wakes up and she wants to find me, she knows where to find me,” she continued. “Even if my door is closed to the office, she will be sitting there on my lap during one of these meetings with a grid of all the executives. And here we are.”

Meghan said she “wouldn’t have it any other way”.

“I don’t want to miss those moments,” she continued. “I don’t want to miss pickup if I don’t have to. I don’t want to miss drop off.

“And I think what I do love the most about having young kids in this chapter while I’m building is the perspective that it brings,” she said. “Because you’re building something while your child’s going through potty training.”

“Even if my door is closed to the office, she will be sitting there on my lap during one of these meetings with a grid of all the executives.”

She also revealed she rewards Lili during potty training with “Cheerios” and tells her “Well done!”

Meghan spoke about her first meeting with Wolfe Herd and her husband and friends on New Year’s Eve when they were on their way to dress up party and was wearing a “rhinestone disco crystal ball cowboy outfit”.

“And to this day, Archie still will say, ‘When do I get to see the cowboys again?'”

Wolfe Herd described Archie as being “so tiny” at the time and both Archie and Lilibet as “so sweet”.

“And I think Archie ran out in like a Batman suit or … PJ Masks,” Wolfe Herd recalled.
