This is the sweet moment Meghan Markle told a child “it’s past your bedtime” while making a solo appearance at the LA Children’s Hospital gala.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, spent last night greeting her young fans while attending the event in downtown Los Angeles without her husband, Prince Harry.
The Duke is believed to still be on his solo tour of South Africa, following a trip to the UK in recent weeks, also without Meghan.
Sweet pictures show the Duchess greeting a family at last night’s event before joking with a toddler about staying up so late.
“It’s probably past your bedtime,” Megan said as she addressed the boy, who was being held by his mother.
And he added: ‘How old are they? Oh, very close to our children. Three and five.
The Duchess caught everyone’s attention last night when she once again wore a revealing red Carolina Herrera dress for the children’s event.
Meghan previously wore the stunning dress to a 2021 gala in New York City to celebrate the military on the eve of Veterans Day in the US and Armistice Day in Britain.

It comes after Harry and Meghan made a series of separate plans, including Harry’s solo trips to London and Lesotho in recent weeks.
The duke has appeared at ten solo engagements in the past 15 days without his wife as he embarked on a “quasi-royal tour” of three countries including New York, London and Lesotho.
It has also been reported that Meghan walked out of a charity event she was going to attend with Prince Harry because she was “sick.”

Meghan has reportedly been frustrated with Harry’s court cases in the UK over her right to safety.
Meghan was last seen the day before Harry’s birthday and she barely stayed at his Montecito home for periods of time earlier this year while he was said to be “depressed” alone in a local cafe.
Last year, it was claimed the couple spent long periods apart, but sources close to them denied this. It was said that, like any couple, they have disagreements but they remain strong.
But Meghan has reportedly become frustrated with Harry’s court cases in the UK over her right to security.
It has also been reported that the couple have disagreed over how to raise their children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three.
Harry did not want the children to be seen in public in case they were photographed, but Meghan would apparently prefer to allow them to attend more local events, a source told The Sun.
Prince Harry has traveled alone from New York to London and Lesotho, making various speeches at awards ceremonies and charity panels and summits.

Some now believe that the new ‘Harry solo’ is the Duke’s own idea, as he tries to rebuild his image.
“I heard he wanted it that way,” a well-placed Californian source told DailyMail. “I think he wants space.”
Others said the duke and duchess are pursuing different goals.
“The duke and duchess have now hit their stride as individuals, not just as a couple,” a source said. he told the people.
‘The Duke seems focused on his patronage work and the Duchess focused on her business career.
“But there will be joint efforts around those cause-driven areas of work.”

Another insider in London offered a slightly different explanation, saying: “This definitely seems like he is upping his game to cement his position as a serious player on the international stage.”
“He has always been desperate to be taken seriously and people I know say his fall from grace will have really affected him.”
Still, the source added: “It’s a surprise that he went to Lesotho without Meghan.” There may be a good reason why he can’t leave the kids, but he’s never been to Lesotho and that surprises me – it’s like a second home (to Harry).
“He went there for the first time as a teenager and the royal family there are like his second family.”
They are so close that Harry and Prince Seeiso, the younger brother of the king of Lesotho with whom he founded the Sentebale charity, call each other “brother”.
“Sentebale is such a big part of his life that you’d think he’d want to share it,” the source said.
