Prince Archie just passed a major milestone – losing his first tooth!
While it’s tradition to leave a coin under your child’s pillow from the Tooth Fairy, the Duchess of Sussex also left another sweet gift for her six-year-old son to mark the occasion.
During an interview with Fast Company, she revealed left “a little money and a small dinosaur” under Archie’s pillow after he woke her up at 2am to excitedly tell her what had happened.
“I had a lot of business meetings the next morning, but I still chose to cuddle with him the rest of the night,” Meghan said. “Those mom moments energise me to be a better founder, a better employer, a better boss.”
It comes after the Duchess shared her fear that she might miss Archie’s milestone during a trip to New York in April to attend the TIME100 summit.
Speaking on stage, Meghan said Archie “is going to lose his first tooth this week, and I hope to make it home in time for it!”
Archie turned six on 6 May, with the Duchess posting a snap of her son in front of a spectacular sunset.

Meghan thanked friends who celebrated at a recent party, writing: “And for all of you who came to celebrate with us at his party last weekend, thank you for making his birthday so incredibly special.”

“Look at all of that fresh honeycomb! Harvesting honey with my little honey. (Like mother, like daughter; she’s even wearing my gloves),” Meghan revealed in the caption.
