The mother-of-two wore a $5,000 matching beige silk suit with white shirt and black boots, while Harry sported a black suit.

The summit, which includes stars from Ryan Reynolds and Demi Moore, is designed to “spotlight solutions and encourage action toward a better world”.

On-stage, Meghan gave some behind-the-scenes details about her Netflix show.

She explained that she decided to film the show at a rented home because of the large crew.

She said: “Eight people in the kitchen isn’t really the childhood memory I’d like them (her kids) to have.”

Elaborating on the series, she said: “Part of what’s really really important is that love language of taking care of people feeds me. It’s in may ways part of my self care.”

When asked how she didn’t become depleted by the experience, she added: “Doing it in a way that’s thoughtful and so authentic it actually energises you as opposed to depleting you.

“The crew – how are we going to do a cooking show that doesn’t feel like a typical (show). I didn’t want a reality show.”

When asked about the flower sprinkles, Meghan joked: “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 moment of joy that are so effortless and create a little bit of magic we’re all craving every day.

“The level of charm people have when they see these tiny littke dried petals is something I can’t wrap my head around but appreciate.

“There is a love for the detail and a small level of delight that can be added.”

The event marks Meghan and Harry’s first official appearance together since they were spotted at the Invictus Games in February.
