Meghan Markle stuns in a $5,000 suit at the TIME100 Summit while discussing ‘Starting Three Projects’

Meghan Markle appeared at the TIME100 Summit in a chic Ralph Lauren look, joining stars like Ryan Reynolds.

At an event, the Duchess of Sussex shared how difficult it was to juggle three projects at the same time, which included her lifestyle brand, Netflix show, and new podcast.

Meghan Markle also discussed dealing with criticism and wanting to be a good “role model” for her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Recently, Meghan attended the TIME100 Summit in New York City with Prince Harry, looking elegant in a $5,000 Ralph Lauren ensemble.

Clad in wide-leg tan silk pants and a matching blazer, the 43-year-old Duchess of Sussex turned heads with her fashionable outfit. She completed the look with a white button-down shirt neatly tucked into her flowing pants.

She complemented the outfit with a $180 Veronica Beard leather belt and $495 Stuart Weitzman suede pumps.

For accessories, Meghan wore a statement Cartier gold watch worth $28,000 and gold hoop earrings, possibly from Balenciaga.

Her brunette hair was styled in loose waves that seemed to have a red tint to it, though it’s unclear whether it was a fresh color or simply the lighting. Harry looked equally dapper in a navy suit.

Meghan spoke at the TIME100 Summit, joining big names like Ryan Reynolds and Demi Moore. The event aimed to “spotlight solutions and encourage action toward a better world.”

Meghan kicked off 2025 by returning to Instagram and shortly after announcing the release of her Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan.”

The show was then followed by the launch of her lifestyle brand, As Ever, and recently, the debut of her new podcast, “Confessions of a Female Founder.”

With all these projects running simultaneously, Meghan has had a busy year, which she alluded to during her speech at the TIME100 summit.

“There were three projects that we were launching really at the same time. The past year-and-a-half have been incredibly busy and ambitious,” the duchess said, per the Daily Mail.

She added, “Then you see it all come to life and try to give yourself the space and the grace to make mistakes, to know you’re not doing it right every day.”

At the TIME100 event, Meghan also shed light on how she initially felt about the Netflix show, “With Love, Meghan,” which has been critically panned since its release.

The series follows the duchess as she plays host to various guests at a home she rented out in Montecito, while sharing tips on cooking, gardening, and more.

“‘I said, ‘How are we going to do a cooking show or a crafting show that doesn’t feel like a typical stand and stir [show],’ which we all remember from back in the day,” Meghan recalled. “I didn’t necessarily want to do that, and I didn’t want a reality show.”

According to the former actress, being a mom to her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, helped her arrive at a decision about the Netflix project.

“Something that is seemingly so big somehow becomes so microscopic in importance compared to what’s happening with my children,” the royal said.

While speaking at the TIME100 event, Meghan was questioned about how she has dealt with being under a “microscope” and having to face “scrutiny.”

In her response, the Duchess of Sussex shared that she has made a “very conscious effort to create boundaries for herself, her well-being, and mental health.”

Meghan also noted that she tries her best to be a “role model” in order to “raise a very strong and confident young woman.”

“But also having [a] son, I think that is just as paramount,” Meghan added. “[It’s important] for young men to be raised with a confidence and sense of self that is going to empower the women around them too.”
