Speculation is swirling that Meghan Markle may attend the highly anticipated Met Gala in New York City on May 1st.

If the rumors are true, this would mark her first appearance at the star-studded event since stepping away from her royal duties last year.

Prince Harry and Meghan’s attendance at the A-list affair has been a topic of discussion among various sources, with OK Magazine reporting that their debut could coincide with the King’s coronation just days later.

The buzz surrounding Meghan’s potential presence at the Met Gala began earlier this year when the couple was spotted attending the vow renewal ceremony of Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, who happen to be their neighbors in Montecito, California.

Christine Ross and Christina Garibaldi, hosts of the Royally Us podcast, weighed in on the matter, suggesting that Harry and Meghan aspire to be part of the A-list Hollywood scene.

They anticipate seeing the couple grace other high-profile events such as the Met Gala and other red carpets, as they navigate their new life outside the royal spotlight.

The Met Gala, organized by a committee led by Vogue’s Anna Wintour, is known for its secretive guest list.

Details about attendees are typically kept under wraps until the evening before the event.

Scheduled to take place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, this year’s gala promises to be a star-studded affair.

However, some royal fans believe that Meghan’s connection to the British monarchy might hinder her chances of receiving an invitation.

Anna Wintour, who holds a Damehood of the Order of the British Empire, is known to have a strong affinity for the royals, particularly Queen Elizabeth and Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge.

This has led some to doubt whether Meghan will ever make it onto the coveted Met Gala guest list or grace the cover of Vogue.

The skepticism surrounding Meghan’s potential inclusion stems from an alleged conversation at Vogue, where insiders claim that her aspirations were met with ridicule.

According to a source, who claimed to have received a text message from their sister-in-law working at the magazine, Anna Wintour initially resisted changing Meghan’s surname to Sussex but eventually relented.

However, she reportedly made a disparaging remark suggesting that Meghan would never be featured on the cover of Vogue or invited to the Met Gala.

The source implied that this comment was accompanied by a derogatory sentiment.

The incident occurred following the backlash Vogue faced over an article featuring Meghan and feminist icon Gloria Steinem.

Unsurprisingly, these rumors have sparked a flurry of reactions on social media.

Fans expressed their disappointment, with one Twitter user stating, “If Harry and Meghan weren’t invited to the 2020 or 2021 Met Gala, they aren’t going to be invited in 2023 either.”

Another questioned Meghan’s credibility, suggesting that she may have falsely claimed to have been invited in the past.

The secretive nature of the guest list at the Met Gala, which prohibits phones and social media usage during the event, adds further doubt to Meghan’s potential attendance.

Some argue that her presence would generate endless speculation and unwanted attention, potentially compromising the privacy that the event values.

As the anticipation builds for this year’s Met Gala, it remains to be seen whether Meghan Markle will secure an invitation.

Despite the controversy surrounding her alleged ambitions and the skepticism from some royal fans, the possibility of her attendance continues to captivate the public’s interest.

Whether Meghan will grace the red carpet alongside Hollywood’s elite or fade into irrelevancy remains uncertain.
