Meghan Markle echoed Kate’s look in Boston as she and Harry attended the 2022 Robert F Kennedy Ripple of Hope Human Rights Award gala in New York on Tuesday night. According to Vogue, Meghan Markle chose a custom white off-the-shoulder dress by Nicolas Ghesquière for Louis Vuitton. The fashion magazine says it’s the first time Meghan has worn the French label to a high-profile public event. Meghan also wore a teal ring from Princess Diana’s personal collection, which she also wore on her wedding day. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who traveled by private jet from their home in California, were seen arriving in the city on Monday ahead of the awards. They were honored at the Manhattan gala alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the late NBA star Bill Russell for their work “to protect and promote equality, justice and human rights.” The royal couple’s trip comes just days before the release of the first part of Netflix’s highly-anticipated documentary Harry & Meghan, with the first three episodes to be released on Thursday, December 8. Three additional episodes will be released on Thursday, December 15. Follow the latest updates on Meghan and Harry’s trip to New York below.

While some have criticized the couple’s decision to share their story in such a public way, others have revealed they are looking forward to hearing more from the Duke and Duchess’ side. “Everyone has the right to tell their own story and set the record straight. So looking forward to seeing Meghan and Harry do the same,” one person tweeted. Another said: “I can’t wait to support Harry and Meghan. I’ll be cheering and watching!” Chelsea Richell December 7, 2022 03:3 1670380297

The use of the images and quotes was intended to emphasize the couple’s points about their time as senior royals, with Prince Harry claiming in the trailer that Meghan was caught up in a ‘feeding frenzy’. “There’s a hierarchy of family,” he says in the trailer, which was released on December 5, before adding: “You know, there’s leaking, but there’s also planting stories. “The pain and suffering of the women who marry into this institution, this feeding frenzy.” You can find the full trailer for the upcoming documentaries below.

Alec Baldwin praises Harry and Meghan for handling press focus

“I was kind of shocked that they came here and did that,” the actor said on the blue carpet of the Ripple of Hope gala. “Handling difficult press conditions without struggling too much. There will always be some difficulties.” Baldwin joked that he might be “their guide” and praised them for “choosing a different path.” “They are just arriving in the states. He hasn’t been here that long. I think it’s great that they’ve agreed to support this cause that we’ve been supporting for years.” (AFP via Getty Images) Graeme Massie7 December 2022 01:44 1670376697

The trailer also included a shot of Meghan and Harry photographed from above during their visit to Archbishop Tutu’s residence in Cape Town. However, after the trailer was released, Robert Jobson, the royal editor of the Evening Standard, claimed that the picture was not taken without the couple’s consent. “This photo used by Netflix and Harry and Meghan to suggest a press invasion is a complete travesty,” he tweeted.

The duke and duchess have also faced criticism for the trailer for their upcoming Netflix documentary, after fans noticed that many of the photos used appeared to be taken at events where Harry and Meghan were not present. A photo used in the trailer appeared to be taken in 2011, during a Harry Potter premiere, while another clip included in the trailer, which is meant to show paparazzi surrounding the couple, appears to have been taken when Katie Price arrived at court in December, according to the BBC.
