She skipped Charles’ coronation, she shone at her own!
Around the centenary coronation of her father-in-law King Charles III. (74) At the beginning of May, Meghan Markle (41) made quite rare: She preferred to celebrate her son Archie’s (4) birthday in her native California, while Prince Harry (38) honored his dad with a 28-hour coronation quickie.
Just as quickly as he came, the renegade prince fled again. And now he celebrated his wife’s very own coronation moment: Meghan celebrated her award for “Woman with Vision” on Tuesday in a pompous look for a whopping 11,000 euros! In New York, she was honored at the glitter gala of “Ms. Foundation for Women” to the real Goldmarie, came accompanied by her husband and her mother Doria (66).

Meghan’s appearance in the strapless gold dress by Colombian designer Johanna Ortiz for 1700 euros with matching sandals by Tom Ford for 1250 euros provided a real wow moment. The Duchess completed her look with a $1,000 Carolina Herrera bag and gold jewellery, including the $6,800 Cartier Love Bracelet. While Meghan took the podium, Alicia Key’s hit song “Girl on Fire” was played.
But not only Meghan’s outfit was quite expensive: participants also had to shell out a lot for the event. A ticket for the glamor bash cost 1,400 euros, and you even had to shell out 14,000 euros for a table.

The Duchess was presented with the award by US feminist Gloria Steinem, 89, who has been a good friend of the Sussexes since they moved into their €13million estate in Montecito. Steinem stressed that Meghan had been a women’s defender all her life and that Meghan also took the opportunity at the gala to encourage women to “be the visionary of their own lives”.

Meghan also thanked her friend Gloria for “the inspiration you are, your mentorship, your wise advice, your extraordinarily cheeky sense of humor and of course your incredible friendship.”
A friendship that Meghan currently seems to be more important than contact with the royal family…
