Insiders are alleging that Prince Harry wants some space from Meghan Markle, and as expected, the Duchess knows how to make a splash—cue the red dress. While Prince Harry is busy attending his charitable events, Meghan Markle made a surprise appearance at the Children’s Hospital Gala, dazzling in a glamorous red dress. Even Newsweek commented on how stunning she looked. But is the timing of all this purely coincidental, or is there more to the story?
Let’s rewind and see what the insiders are saying. According to reports, Prince Harry allegedly wants some space from Meghan to focus on his charitable efforts. To be fair, Harry has always been dedicated to these causes. As a royal, even though he no longer performs official royal duties, he retains his prince title. Meghan, on the other hand, was never a princess and did very few royal duties before they stepped down.
What’s interesting is that Harry has been making quite a few solo appearances lately. And now, Meghan can’t seem to resist jumping back into the spotlight. While rumors of a breakup circulate, insiders suggest that the couple is simply managing their public personas, focusing on individual appearances, but not facing any marriage troubles—allegedly.
According to the Daily Mail, it was Harry who initiated these solo appearances. He reportedly wanted space from Meghan, but there’s no marriage issue. It’s just that Harry prefers this setup, needing room to solidify his standing as a serious player on the international stage. But let’s face it: Meghan’s presence often overshadows him.
Some have pointed out that Harry has always been eager to be taken seriously, and now that he’s attending high-profile events like the Sentebale Ball, the Clinton Global Initiative, and the WellChild Awards, Meghan’s surprise appearance at the Children’s Hospital Gala feels strategically timed. Is it an attempt to boost their social standing? Maybe. But it’s not a sign of a breakup—at least, that’s what sources claim.
One upside to this is that we’re seeing more of them individually. Whether that’s a good thing or not is up for debate. Meghan’s reappearance in a plunging red halter dress has caught the media’s attention, with outlets like People and Elle praising her look. She arrived to support the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, and it’s worth noting that she was someone’s plus-one, not the star of the event.
Meghan was dressed in a Carolina Herrera gown, the same one she wore to the Freedom Gala in 2021. She walked the red carpet holding hands with Kelly McKee Zajfen, the founder of Alliance of Moms, while Harry was notably absent, attending to his business in Africa. Despite her efforts, it seems like Meghan was keen on making the event about herself. Yes, the work done by Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is extraordinary, and Meghan’s presence undoubtedly brought attention, but let’s be honest—was this more about the cause or her personal PR?
Now, I’m not here to tear down Meghan’s appearance. I’m not a fashion expert by any means, but that red dress? It was a miss. The dress looked wrinkled, frumpy, and out of place. The neckline didn’t suit her figure, and overall, the look was underwhelming. It’s great that she’s re-wearing outfits—celebrities should do that more often—but this particular dress just didn’t do her any favors.
As Meghan posed for photos, she seemed to take control of the situation, as if she were running the show. It’s strange how she’s always the one leading the conversation, even though this wasn’t her event. Kelly McKee Zajfen, whose event it was, appeared to be overshadowed by Meghan’s assertiveness.
There’s also an odd moment on the red carpet where Meghan appears to direct everyone, taking charge of the situation. It’s clear she likes being in control, which has been noted by observers in the past. During her infamous interview with Oprah, there were similar moments where she seemed to struggle with letting others take the lead.
But let’s get back to the point. The event was meant to raise awareness for the Children’s Hospital, and while Meghan’s appearance garnered media attention, one has to wonder—did she make any substantial donations? After all, that’s what the hospital really needs. Instead of taking endless red carpet photos, maybe contributing financially would have been more impactful. Of course, we can’t say for certain whether she did or didn’t, but her presence felt more like a PR opportunity than genuine philanthropy.
As Meghan posed with families and hospital staff, she spoke about her connection to the hospital, mentioning how she has close friends whose children are undergoing treatment. While it’s commendable that she’s showing support, there’s an air of self-importance in her statements. Rather than focusing on the hospital’s work, she seemed more interested in discussing her personal connections and experiences.
To sum it up, Meghan’s red dress stole the show at the gala, but for all the wrong reasons. It wasn’t the most flattering choice, and her behavior on the red carpet raised more eyebrows than compliments. As rumors of marital issues continue to swirl, it’s clear that Harry and Meghan are navigating a tricky public landscape. Whether or not Harry’s desire for space is a sign of deeper problems remains to be seen.
