With a stellar smile, a red carpet look and like the star that she is. Meghan Markle, clad in brilliant white by Louis Vuitton, shone like a flash of light at the Ripple of Hope gala held Tuesday night in New York on Tuesday the 6th. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were honored for their activism against racism a year after making public the episode they experienced in the bosom of the royal family about the skin color of the actress and her son, Archie. Night of maximum glamor with a charity dinner whose tables were sold for one million euros, according to a publication The Sun. This, one day before the world premiere on Netflix of his docuseries.
With her powerful presence, Meghan swept the gala, organized by Kerry Kennedy, niece of John F. Kennedy and daughter of Robert F. Kennedy, who also directs the RFK Foundation in honor of her father, in defense of human rights and the mental health.

The Duchess of Sussex appeared draped under an umbrella in a flawless ice-white gown designed for her by Louis Vuitton’s creative director, Nicolas Ghesquiere, former head of the Balenciaga house, according to Vogue. She wanted the actress to wink at Princess Diana wearing an emerald ring from her jeweler. Meghan clung to the arm of her husband, who did not separate from her an inch from her. During dinner, Harry put his arm around her shoulder. A gesture of support, protection and complicity.
The dukes, who avoided speaking to the press, did speak a few words on the gala stage to thank the award for its fight against “oppression and injustice.” “Every time a man stands up for an ideal or attacks injustice, he sends out a wave of hope,” Harry said. But first and foremost, the British press has stressed the word “beginning”: “This honor is not just the culmination of a lifetime of work, for us it is in a way the beginning.”
“We don’t go out much,” Harry says.
In a more relaxed tone, the prince joked about the event as if it had been a date for him and his wife: “I thought we were just going to have a date night, so it seemed quite strange that we were sharing the space with 1,500 people.” . We don’t go out much these days because our kids are so young, so this is very unexpected.”
The actress, in a tribute to Robert F. Kennedy, noted, “RFK’s enduring dream of a just and peaceful world is much more than just hope.” This distinction comes just hours after the mega world premiere of the Netflix documentary series. A controversial serial in which they launch accusations at The Firm, speak of “a family hierarchy”, of “leaks and false data” and reveal a notorious “play dirty”.
The son of Carlos III and his wife were awarded for their role as “exemplary leaders” for “their unwavering commitment” to contribute to social change in the world. The predecessors to receive this recognition were, among others, Joe Biden, former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary, and Bono from U2.
A charity gala, whose tables were sold for up to a million dollars (960,000 euros). The cheapest cover reached 2,500 dollars (2,390 euros), publishes the British newspaper. Among the guests at the event was Alec Baldwin.
