The Duchess of Sussex, 43, revealed she played the tooth fairy after her son, six, lost his first tooth.
She ‘rushed’ home from work to leave a small dinosaur and a small amount of money under his pillow.
Archie woke her up at 2am in excitement after discovering the tooth fairy had paid a visit.
Meghan told Fast Company: "I had a lot of business meetings the next morning, but I still chose to cuddle with him the rest of the night.
"Those mom moments energise me to be a better founder, a better employer, a better boss."
It comes days after Meghan described the difficulties of trying to start a successful company while caring for young children.
After stepping back from being a senior working royal, she started a new life in the US when Archie was 10 months old and has since focused on growing a media and lifestyle empire, including Netflix documentaries.
Discussing juggling her family and professional life, Meghan said on the final episode of her podcast, Confessions Of A Female Founder: "People forget that Lili is three, and Archie is five.
"So you look at the past five, six years of my life, it's yes, with being pregnant or with a newborn or with a toddler, and then another one."
Meghan tends to keep Archie and Princess Lilibet, three, out of the spotlight but recently has been publishing more pictures of her family on social media.
Earlier this month, she posted a black and white photo of her two children and Prince Harry, 40, walking through their Montecito garden on Instagram.
Meghan has also recently shared videos of her making jam with Archie and Lilibet, as well as pictures of the pair in their rose garden.
