Meghan Markle, along with other notable figures such as Christina Applegate, Ava Duvernay, Faith Hill, Amanda Seyfried, Danielle Monaro, Shelley Wade, Abbott Elementary, Today, The Drew Barrymore Show, and 48 Hours, will be honored at the 48th Annual Gracie Awards by the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation.

This event recognizes outstanding achievements by women in programming and media and entertainment.

The awards ceremony is scheduled to take place on May 23rd, where the winners will be celebrated.

The gala, which will be held at the luxurious Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire in Los Angeles, will pay tribute to the Gracie award recipients.

However, it remains uncertain whether Meghan Markle will attend the event.

This comes just days after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex claimed they were involved in a car chase with paparazzi photographers in New York, an incident that has raised some eyebrows and sparked controversy.

Speculations have arisen regarding Meghan’s potential attendance at the awards ceremony.

Critics argue that she should have the decency not to show her face after the recent drama in New York.

On the other hand, some believe that Meghan would not want to miss an opportunity to be in the spotlight.

One commentator sarcastically remarked, “This is Megzy.

She’ll show up with a forced smile and an ill-fitting dress, I’m sure.”

Another person pointed out that the Los Angeles event would be different from the one in New York, where Meghan stood out as the only flashy individual.

In Los Angeles, she would be just one among many, and if someone more famous were to attend with less fanfare, she might end up looking foolish again.

Although Prince Harry’s presence at the event is also uncertain, it has been noted that Meghan’s name has been removed from the official website’s list of attendees.

This change suggests that the tide may have turned against the couple following the disputed car chase incident.

Meanwhile, Rishi Sunak, the UK’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, appeared to downplay the claims made by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex about the near-catastrophic incident in New York.

During a visit to Japan for the G7 meetings, Prime Minister Sunak stated that he was not aware of the specific incident in question.

When asked about his sympathy towards invasion of privacy or safety concerns, Sunak distanced himself from the controversy, emphasizing his role in ensuring the safety of British citizens.

He mentioned the government’s efforts to increase police presence and combat issues like knife crime, but when it came to the incident in New York, he indicated that it was not his priority or responsibility as it occurred outside the UK.

A photographer who witnessed the incident in New York described how the couple’s security team engaged in dangerous maneuvers and blocked streets in an attempt to escape the paparazzi.

The witness, who preferred to remain anonymous, revealed that the Duke and Duchess were traveling east on 57th Street when they crossed onto the opposite side of the road into oncoming traffic.

However, their vehicle became stranded in the middle of the road, causing chaos.

As the date of the Gracie Awards ceremony approaches, all eyes are on Meghan Markle and whether she will attend despite the recent controversy.

The event promises to be a celebration of women’s achievements in the media industry, recognizing their contributions and highlighting their impact on society.
