Despite Meghan Markle's continued desire for a Met Gala invitation, Anna Wintour has made it clear that the Sussexes will not be attending. Meghan has been spreading rumors that she hasn't been invited since 2018, but it seems she plays this game every year, knowing she will never receive an invitation. Anna Wintour, a dedicated royalist, holds the power over the guest list and is not interested in having Meghan and Harry on the Met Gala red carpet. While there is speculation each year about the couple's potential invitation, their absence from prestigious events like the Emmys and Oscars following their departure from royal duties raises questions about their eligibility for important gatherings.
Sources close to the couple may claim that they are too occupied with their filming, producing, and editing projects to attend such events. They may brush off any invitations, citing obligations like baking a lemon cake for Archie's birthday or spreading strawberry jam on each slice. Additionally, Jennifer Lopez is hosting the Met Gala this year, and it is unlikely she would let the Sussexes dominate the press. Furthermore, one of the co-chairs, Zenia, embodies everything Meghan aspires to be in the fashion world.
In other news related to the Met Gala, according to Page Six, Anna Wintour will bestow the title of new American royalty on Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez during the red carpet event. They have been courted by Anna Wintour and are set to attend, marking their status as the apex of celebrity and power in America. The Met Gala guest list includes power players from Hollywood, Washington D.C., Miami, and beyond. Notable attendees range from Chris Jenner and Kim Kardashian to Barry Diller, who hosted the couple's engagement party, and David Geffen. The couple's political influence was recently recognized when they were invited to a state dinner at the White House hosted by President Joe Biden for the Prime Minister of Japan, Fumio Kishida. They joined guests such as JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon and Apple's Tim Cook.
While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Netflix deal has gained momentum, with Harry reportedly finding Hollywood to be a lonely place as he lacks genuine friendships, conservative radio talk show host Dennis Prager expressed his skepticism. Prager believes that fame-seeking celebrities often lack true friendships due to arrogance. He praised the British monarchy, but criticized Harry and Meghan as two of its biggest problems. Prager's remarks come amidst ongoing reports about Harry's admission of past drug use in his 2023 memoir.
Meanwhile, the conservative think tank organization, the Heritage Foundation, is calling on the Biden Administration to disclose whether Prince Harry admitted to substance use, both illegal and prescribed, in his 2020 visa application. There are questions about whether Harry's royal status influenced American laws and whether any potential false statements were made on his visa application.
