King Charles has unequivocally shut down any possibility of Meghan Markle making a royal comeback.
Meghan was taken aback when she realized she wasn’t included in the guest list for the prestigious King’s Trust 2024 Gala.
This annual event is renowned for hosting influential personalities from various fields.
However, this year’s gala in New York saw an array of A-list celebrities like Kate Moss, Sam Smith, and Emily Ratajkowski showing their support for King Charles’s charity.
The gala, held at Casa Cipriani, marked the first major event under the new name of Prince’s Foundation to the King’s Trust.
The event was led by King’s Trust Global Ambassadors Lionel Ritchie and Edward Enifal, with a goal to raise crucial funds for youth-focused initiatives.
During the gala, attendees were treated to a surprise performance by Grammy Award winner John Legend, who took a break from his judging duties on The Voice.
Legend was accompanied by his wife, Chrissy Teigen.
Interestingly, Meghan Markle had sent a jar of jam to Chrissy Teigen and John Legend before the gala, seemingly trying to establish a connection.
However, her gesture was met with rejection, highlighting the awkward situation where Chrissy received an invitation over the King’s own family members, Harry and Meghan.
This incident is likely to stir up conversations in Hollywood and among celebrities, with speculations and gossip circulating about Meghan’s social missteps becoming more apparent.
It’s intriguing how Chrissy Teigen, a temporary game show host, manages to secure invitations to prestigious events like the Met Gala and the King’s Trust Gala, while Meghan, with her royal connections, remains overlooked.
Chrissy’s involvement in philanthropic endeavors may play a role in her inclusion in such events, unlike the King’s son, who seems to lack similar contributions.
Ultimately, these high-profile fundraisers prioritize individuals who bring substantial financial support.
Last year, the Prince’s Trust was rebranded as the King’s Trust to align with Charles’s new role as the monarch.
Since its inception during his time as the Prince of Wales, the Trust has assisted young individuals aged 11 to 30 in accessing employment, education, and training opportunities.
Notable figures like actor Idris Elba, known for his roles in The Wire and Luther, have benefitted from the King’s Trust, receiving grants to kick-start their careers.
Lionel Richie commended the King for his dedication to the charity and highlighted the challenges faced by today’s youth.
As the head of the Global Ambassador Group, Richie expressed satisfaction with the Trust’s transition to the King’s Trust, securing the legacy of its work.
Edward Enanful, another Global Ambassador, emphasized the potential of the current generation to enact positive change and stressed the collective responsibility to address inequalities hindering young people from reaching their full potential.
Enanful expressed pride in supporting the organization, now known as the King’s Trust, as it continues to bridge gaps not only in the UK but also in the US and other nations worldwide, where he has lived and worked.
