Meghan Markle’s GQ Award in Jeopardy After Bribery Allegations

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, was set to receive a top award at the upcoming GQ Men of the Year Awards in London.

However, the President of the GQ Awards has dropped fatal evidence of a dirty bribe and declared that he will remove her prize.

The ceremony is scheduled to take place on November 16 at the Tate Modern in London, with Markle expected to make an appearance.

According to an unnamed source, Markle had been offered the award for her charity work.

Last year, the Duke of Sussex appeared at the awards live from California via video link.

Tickets for the awards show cost £5,999, and it is usually attended by a host of celebrities, including Victoria and David Beckham, Dua Lipa, and Madonna.

Although Markle had made a visit to the UK to attend the Well Child Awards in London with her husband Prince Harry, she had to leave after the Queen's death at Balmoral Castle.

However, she and her husband greeted crowds outside Buckingham Palace and attended the state funeral at Westminster Abbey on September 19 before flying home.

Despite the bribery allegations, Markle's podcast series is set to resume next week.

The announcement was made on the official Spotify page of Archetypes, stating that regularly scheduled episodes will resume on Tuesday, October 4.

Markle's podcast show was paused following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8.

The last episode was released on September 6 and featured a conversation between the Duchess and actress Mindy Kaling focused on the joys, challenges, and stigmas of the A-lister's life as a single woman.

In all these episodes, Markle provided a few glimpses of her life and, at times, criticized the firm and the British press.

In one episode, she seemingly criticized the palace for seemingly asking her and Prince Harry to carry out with their engagements after a fire broke out in the nursery room where her son Archie Harrison was meant to be asleep on the first day of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's tour South Africa in September 2019.

In another episode, Markle discussed with singer Mariah Carey being mixed race.

The Duchess told the singer, “if there's any time in my life that it's been more focused on my race, it's only once I started dating my husband.

Then I started to understand what it was like to be treated like a black woman, because up until then I had been treated like a mixed woman, and things really shifted.”

Markle's references to her past and the firm in the already released episodes lead to believe she may be poised for more revelations in the remaining eight parts of her series, first launched in late August.

However, royal expert Kinsey Schofield recently claimed the Duchess may be making some last-minute editing to the already recorded episodes to ensure that nothing insensitive or insulting is said in the direction of the royal family in the aftermath of the Queen's death.

Markle announced at the end of her third podcast episode who she will chat with next.

Ending her conversation with Miss Kaling, the Duchess said, “I can't wait to chat with you again next time, when we get a little more specific and dive into the complicated world of the trope known as the Dragon Lady.”

She then said stand-up comedian Margaret Cho and journalist Lisa Ling will be her next guests.

It remains to be seen if Markle will attend the GQ Men of the Year Awards and receive the award she was promised.

The bribery allegations have put her in an awkward position, and it remains to be seen how she will respond to these allegations.
