Despite inquiries, representatives for Markle have refrained from confirming her attendance at the Gracie Awards, where she was set to be commended for her noteworthy contributions.
Fox News Digital reported that a representative for the Duchess of Sussex did not respond to a request for confirmation regarding her potential appearance.
In an interview with the outlet, Christopher Andersen, author of "The King," expressed his belief that Markle would indeed attend the event, stating that she and Prince Harry have been experiencing a string of successes lately.
"Have you seen the surge in sales of Harry's memoir since the curious non-near catastrophic New York car chase fiasco?" Andersen remarked. "I would be surprised if Meghan didn't make an appearance at the awards just to maintain the positive PR momentum. I predict there might even be a display of emotions, perhaps even tears."
Kinsey Schofield, host of the "To Di For" podcast, shared a different perspective with Fox Digital, suggesting that the Duchess of Sussex might choose not to attend due to feeling shaken up from the alleged car chase incident involving paparazzi photographers.
The Gracie Awards ceremony takes place shortly after Meghan and Harry claimed they were pursued by paparazzi photographers.
The Gracie Awards are designed to honor exceptional programming created by women, for women, and about women across various forms of media and entertainment. They also recognize individuals who have made inspiring contributions to the industry.
Named after the late Gracie Allen, these awards acknowledge outstanding leadership within teams as well as individual achievements. The Gracies specifically highlight women who are driving positive change and advancing the conversation about fulfilling careers in the media field.
The 48th Annual Gracie Awards' national winners will be celebrated on May 23, 2023, with the Gracies Gala taking place at the Beverly Wilshire, a renowned Four Seasons Hotel located in Beverly Hills, California.
