The prestigious Robert F. Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award is set to be bestowed upon Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in the upcoming month.
The royal couple will be honored on December 6 for their courageous stance against systemic racism.
While the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Foundation is hosting the ceremony, it remains uncertain if the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will grace the occasion.
Speculation has arisen regarding the timing of the award presentation, with the Daily Mail diary editor Richard Eden expressing skepticism.
During a recent episode of Palace Confidential, Eden remarked that the proximity of the award event to Prince William and Catherine’s visit to the United States, along with their involvement in the JFK Library and Earthshot Prize, raises suspicions.
Despite this, he emphasized that excessive focus on the alleged human rights accolade may not be warranted.
There are apprehensions that Meghan and Harry’s attendance at the ceremony could further strain their already tense relationship with the royal family.
Former royal correspondent Jenny Bond highlighted the potential repercussions of the couple accepting the award publicly.
Bond suggested that such a public acknowledgment might deepen the existing rift between the couple and the royal family.
In a revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year, Meghan disclosed a concerning incident involving a member of the royal family questioning the skin color of their son, Archie, before his birth.
Although Harry clarified that Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were not responsible for the remarks, the couple refrained from disclosing the identity of the individual involved.
In other royal news, dynamics within the royal family have come under scrutiny as Prince Charles distances himself from his brother, Prince Edward.

Commentator Kate Mansey noted tensions between the brothers, suggesting that differences in character may also contribute to their distant rapport.
Recent developments have seen increased public engagements by Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie, the Countess of Wessex.
Amid discussions surrounding the inheritance of the title of Duke of Edinburgh, concerns have emerged over potential refusals by King Charles III.
Speculations suggest that Charles may opt to streamline the monarchy, impacting the future titles within the royal family.
As the royal family navigates through these intricate relationships and potential shifts in titles, the spotlight remains on the evolving dynamics within the monarchy.
The delicate balance between tradition and modernization continues to shape the narratives surrounding the British royal household.
