As a result of the incident, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, decided not to attend The Gracie Awards in Los Angeles, citing security concerns stemming from the New York car chase.
Meghan, who had been recognized as a national winner in the digital media category at the 49th Gracie Awards, was notably absent from the event, as reported by Express UK. The awards ceremony took place in Beverly Hills on Tuesday evening.
The Archewell foundation website revealed that the Gracie Awards honored Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, as the top Entertainment Podcast Host for her groundbreaking podcast series, Archetypes. The Gracies aim to acknowledge exceptional programming created by women, for women, and about women across various media and entertainment domains.
This particular award recognizes remarkable original content that not only entertains but also enlightens in a captivating and authentic manner. Back in March, upon receiving recognition for her podcast Archetypes, the Duchess expressed her gratitude, stating, "I extend my heartfelt thanks to the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation for this prestigious honor.
This success is a collective achievement for me, the predominantly female team behind Archetypes, and the inspiring guests who joined me every week."
Confirming earlier reports, a spokesperson for the couple verified that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were indeed involved in the intense car chase with paparazzi in New York, which was described as "near catastrophic."
