I love my flower sprinkles even though they were mocked, Meghan says
Introduced as 'the founder of As Ever', the duchess appeared on stage at the fifth annual Time100 summit in New York, ahead of a 15-minute session called 'Her Journey'.
Meghan said she was the 'happiest that I've ever been', thanks to the support of Prince Harry, who was in the live audience, and her 'joyful' children.
She said: 'Of all the things that happened, I never would have imagined at this point I'd be so happy and free, and I really do.'
The duchess, who wore a tan trouser suit and crisp white shirt, laughed off the public's 'obsession' with her liberal use of edible sprinkles throughout her recent Netflix lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, which saw her scatter them on everything from sandwiches to fried eggs.
Speaking to TIME chief executive Jessica Sibley, she said: 'Oh my gosh! You'd think I'm a little fairy tossing them around all the time.
'The obsession that has come with flower sprinkles. Of all things we could be talking about … it speaks to the tiny moments of joy that are so effortless and create a little bit of magic we're all craving every day.'

Prince Harry leaves letter to Prince Phillip after ‘scathing' interview with Oprah Winfrey
'To Di For' podcast host Kinsey Schofield discusses the possible signs Prince Harry is moving closer to reconciling with King Charles and Prince William. It was revealed Prince Harry left a secret letter to mark Victory in the Pacific Day, while he reportedly asked a friend to place this letter at the British National Memorial Arboretum. Ms Schofield told Sky News Digital Presenter Gabriella Power Prince Harry's 'scathing' Oprah Winfrey interview has caused so much damage, as it is 'still so detrimental to the Royal Family to this day'. 'If Prince Harry's team is leaking to GB News that Prince Harry left a letter to Prince William and Prince Phillip, then I don't really consider that a secret. 'People are not going to forgive Prince Harry over a secret letter; they're not going to forgive him for the terror he caused, not only his grandfather, but his grandmother in the twilight years of their lives.'

‘Chelsy and Kate got on really well': Ex-butler Grant Harrold's brutal swipe at Meghan Markle
Princess Catherine and Prince Harry once shared a sibling-like bond prior to the Duke of Sussex's marriage to Meghan Markle, a former palace butler has claimed. Former palace staffer Grant Harrold served as a butler to King Charles from 2004 until 2011, and knew both Princes William and Harry as well as Catherine. In a new interview with The Telegraph, the ex-staffer revealed how the brothers and Kate were 'a little gang' with Harry often spending time with Middleton when William was away. 'They involved him. He used to go out with Kate,' he said on Monday. 'William would be away and Kate and Harry would be off doing stuff together. 'They'd go shopping together, they'd go to pubs together. (…) I think when people say 'oh he was left out', he really wasn't.' It was during this period that Harry dated Zimbabwe-born society beauty Chelsy Davy, who Mr Harrold claimed had the seal of approval from Kate as a possible sister-in-law. 'Chelsy was always around. And Chelsy and Kate got on really well,' he said. '(William and Harry) used to go around being silly with each other and winding each other up, jumping out at their dad from corners and making him laugh. 'It was just like a family.' Ms Davy and Prince Harry dated on and off for a period of about seven years between 2004 and 2011 and was at one point tipped to become the Duchess of Sussex. The romance was Prince Harry's most significant relationship before he met his now-wife Meghan Markle in 2016. Harry also dated socialite Cressida Bonas, a friend of his cousin Princess Eugenie, but the romance fizzled out the year he cross paths with the newly divorced Markle. According to aristocrat and biographer Lady Colin Campbell, Harry's previous relationships before Markle broke down because Bonas and Davy were uninterested in royal life. 'Harry had one or two really nice girlfriends,' she told Best magazine's Suddenly Single podcast in April. 'He had wonderful taste in girls, the problem is after a point when the excitement of being with a prince and the possibility of being a royal duchess has worn thin it had no appeal.' In the end, Harry wed Markle at St George's Chapel in 2018 with both his ex-girlfriends in attendance. The Sussexes would ultimately stay in the royal family less than 18 months before abandoning royal duties and starting new lives in California.
