She flexed her Tinsel Town influence and connections to ensure Meghan wouldn't set foot at this prestigious event. Why, you ask? Scarlett perceived Meghan as nothing more than a self-serving royal opportunist, and she didn't hold back in expressing it. Reports suggest that Scarlett was furious upon learning that the Museum's Board of Trustees had extended an invitation to Meghan Markle. To her, Meghan appeared to be more fame-chasing opportunist than a genuine philanthropist who had ridden the royal coattails for all they were worth.
Scarlett was out to make her point. A vocal champion of human rights and environmental causes, she didn't mince words. Allegedly, she told the board that Meghan Markle was about as charitable as a tax collector during a recession – a biting remark indeed. Additionally, Scarlett's connections with Prince William and Catherine played a part in her determination not to let Meghan off the hook easily.
But that's not all; Scarlett was reportedly disgusted by Meghan Markle's involvement in the bombshell accusations of racism against the royal family and her collaboration on Omid Scobie's tell-all book. In Scarlett's eyes, Meghan was a hypocrite, a liar, and a royal backstabber who had shamelessly exploited her status to serve her own interests while disregarding traditions and values.
Scarlett's husband, Colin Jost, the co-head writer and Weekend Update anchor on Saturday Night Live, didn't miss the opportunity to humorously roast Meghan and Harry on national TV. His sharp humor left Meghan Markle reeling.
While Meghan has been trying to establish her star status in the United States amidst legal battles and public criticism, she must have been less than thrilled by all this attention. In fact, she was left feeling utterly humiliated and devastated by Scarlett's royal snub.
The American Museum of Natural History Gala, attended by celebrities like Seth Meyers, Tina Fey, Hilaria Baldwin, and Billy Phillips, became a lavish spectacle. However, the real stars of the night were Scarlett and Colin, who looked stunning in their black and white outfits. As for Meghan and Harry, they could only watch from afar, excluded from the society event of the year. Scarlett Johansson, the gala's queen bee, had made her stance clear, leaving no room for The Duchess and her prince at this party. It was an epic showdown.
