Meghan Markle Attends LA Gala Without Harry
Meghan Markle made a solo red-carpet appearance in Los Angeles over the weekend, attending the Fifteen Percent Pledge fundraising gala in support of Black-owned businesses. The Duchess of Sussex was photographed arriving without Prince Harry, drawing attention for her evening look and the event’s high-profile guest list.
Meghan, 44, wore a strapless satin gown styled with a black velvet shawl as she attended the gala, The US Sun reported, adding that the fundraiser honoured Ms Tina Knowles at the Los Angeles event.
The report also noted Meghan was joined on the night by businesswoman Ms Emma Grede, while the gala highlighted the Fifteen Percent Pledge campaign, which encourages major retailers to allocate shelf space to Black-owned brands. Meghan and Prince Harry have previously attended charity events separately depending on schedules and commitments.
The appearance follows recent coverage of mixed reactions to Meghan’s latest Los Angeles outing, as the Sussexes continue to balance public engagements in the US with ongoing interest in their plans and security arrangements.
No further details were released about Prince Harry’s whereabouts during the fundraiser, but Meghan’s attendance kept the focus on the gala’s mission and its message of support for small businesses through major retail partnerships.
