Meghan Markle Rumored to Attend Met Gala Debut with Prince Harry
Reports from various sources suggest that Meghan Markle may attend the Met Gala in New York City on May 1st, marking her debut at the high-profile event.
OK Magazine reported that the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry could be making an appearance at the A-list event just days before the King's coronation.
The couple announced their decision to step away from their royal duties back in 2020 and have since relocated to California.
Speculation about their attendance at the Met Gala began earlier this year when they were spotted at the vow renewal ceremony of Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, who also reside in Montecito.
Christine Ross and Christina Garibaldi, hosts of the Royally Us podcast, discussed the couple's appearance at the party and suggested that Harry and Meghan want to find themselves on the A-list circuit.
They believe that this could be the first of many times we see the couple in these exclusive circles, including events such as the Met Gala and other red carpets.

Invitations for the Met Gala are sent out by a committee headed by Vogue's Anna Wintour.
However, the guest list remains top secret until the evening before the event.
The gala is set to take place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City.
Despite the rumors, some royal fans believe that Meghan may not make it to the Met Gala due to Anna Wintour's allegiance to the British royal family.
Wintour was bestowed the honor of DBE (Damehood of the Order of the British Empire) by the royals and is known to be a royalist.
Reports suggest that she adores the Queen and Catherine, the Princess of Wales, but may not feel the same way about Meghan.
Rumors have also been circulating that Meghan will not be getting a Vogue cover or an invite to the Met Gala.
A source claimed that their neighbor's sister-in-law, who works at Vogue, received a text message mocking Meghan's name change from Markle to Sussex.
The source alleges that Anna Wintour agreed to the name change but stated that Meghan would never be on a Vogue cover or invited to the Met Gala, adding the unspoken phrase “such white trash.”
These rumors come after Vogue faced backlash over an article featuring Gloria Steinem and Meghan Markle.
Fans took to social media to express their opinions, with some suggesting that the Met Gala values privacy and would not want someone like Meghan attending, as it could lead to endless news reports and gossip.
Despite the speculation, it remains unclear whether Meghan and Harry will make their debut at the Met Gala.
Nevertheless, fans eagerly await any updates on the couple's attendance at the high-profile event.
