Interestingly, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were notably absent from the guest list, with some speculating that Meghan's strong presence might have shifted the focus of the event. Amal Clooney, however, remained down-to-earth and humble despite her status as a prominent and wealthy couple. When George Clooney joked about their "power couple" label, Amal admitted she didn't see herself that way.
The Albie Awards, organized by the Clooney Foundation for Justice, celebrate courageous defenders of justice who face significant risks in their work. On the red carpet, Amal looked stunning in a white sequined gown, while George donned his classic tuxedo with a distinguished salt-and-pepper beard
During the event, they mingled with other attendees, including Amal's mother, Lebanese journalist Baria Al Mudin. However, the evening took an unexpected turn when Daniel Craig, who was taking a photo with the Clooneys, was asked by a reporter about his travel experience to the event in New York.
Craig humorously replied that he lives in the area and joked that he doesn't need to exit his car to hail a yellow taxi, alluding to the infamous car chase incident involving Meghan and Harry. When asked about George and Amal and the event itself, Craig praised the Clooneys, acknowledging their honesty and humanitarian work.
This incident raises questions about Meghan Markle's desire for a friendship with the Clooneys and her potential involvement in such events. Some speculate that Meghan and Harry's departure from the British royal family may have impacted their invitations to high-profile gatherings like the Albie Awards, as their presence tends to draw excessive media attention. Meghan's absence from the event and her desire for the spotlight have fueled discussions about how they might have handled such an occasion if invited, given their recent high-profile controversies.
