Meghan Markle, once again, found herself missing from a high-profile event that brought together the who’s who of Hollywood.
Even her close friend Tyler Perry was in attendance, but Meghan was noticeably absent.
The 2022 Baby to Baby Gala took place on Saturday night in Los Angeles, where Kim Kardashian was honored with the Giving Tree Award for her decade-long support and contribution to the charity’s growth.
This organization provides resources to underprivileged children worldwide.
Before accepting the award, a montage featuring numerous celebrities expressing why Kim deserved this recognition was played on stage.
The showrunners managed to gather an impressive lineup of Hollywood’s most famous faces, including Chris Rock, Serena Williams, Katy Perry, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ryan Seacrest, Hillary Clinton, and more.
Kim’s own family, including her mother Kris Jenner, three sisters, and even her daughter North, also participated in praising her achievements.
It was Meghan’s friend Tyler Perry who presented Kim with the award, delivering a speech that touched upon the meaning of justice and doing what is right.
However, it seems that Harry and Meghan have been excluded from the Hollywood scene, as they rarely receive invitations to such events.
Some royal fans were quick to mock the couple for this perceived snub.
One Reddit user commented on Meghan’s desire to be a part of these events and mingle with the crowd, stating that she must be feeling frustrated and upset.
They speculated that Meghan had been pushy and overbearing in her attempts to gain acceptance, making others uncomfortable with her desperate and intrusive behavior.
Another commenter, with experience in fundraising for major organizations involved in high-profile galas, pointed out that Harry and Meghan were not present at similar events even when they were teasing a move to New York City and trying to establish connections.
They highlighted the couple’s absence from Charles’ inaugural Prince’s Trust event in New York City, where many British celebrities and models were in attendance.
The commenter compared this to the seemingly random nature of Meghan’s involvement with Baby to Baby, referring to it as a “stupid red dress event.”
In 2020, Harry and Meghan volunteered with Baby to Baby, capturing photos of themselves distributing school supplies.
However, critics argue that they did the bare minimum and failed to follow through with the charity.
Royal fans claim that the couple has not been involved with Baby to Baby since then, suggesting that if they were genuinely committed to a cause, they would actively engage with it and undertake further projects.
This lack of follow-through has led to doubts about their charitable endeavors.
Despite these criticisms, a source told Town & Country that during their previous involvement with Baby to Baby, Meghan and Harry were in high spirits, engaging and connecting with the crowd as they do best.
The children eagerly received their books and supplies, creating a positive atmosphere.
While Meghan’s absence from the star-studded Baby to Baby Gala raised eyebrows, it remains to be seen how this will impact her and Harry’s standing in Hollywood’s social circles.
As they continue to navigate their post-royal life, their dedication to philanthropy and commitment to various causes will undoubtedly be closely scrutinized.
