The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, turned heads last night in a striking red Carolina Herrera gown at a gala benefiting the LA Children’s Hospital.
The event, held on October 5, saw Meghan shine as she mingled with young fans and celebrities, including Demi Lovato and Kaley Cuoco.
However, her husband, Prince Harry, was notably absent, fueling ongoing speculation about their relationship.
Meghan, 43, previously wore the eye-catching gown during a 2021 gala in New York alongside Harry, but her solo appearance last night raised eyebrows among royal watchers.
Experts have recently suggested that Meghan and Harry are increasingly leading separate lives, with royal commentators stating they have not been seen together in weeks.
Arthur Edwards, a veteran royal correspondent, remarked during a recent live show that the couple appears to be doing things separately now.
Jennie Bond, another royal expert, echoed this sentiment, stating that Meghan’s popularity in the UK has waned and that she seems reluctant to return to royal duties.
While Meghan was enjoying the gala, reports indicated Harry spent his 40th birthday apart from her, celebrating with friends instead.
Sources close to the couple insist that Meghan organized the trip for Harry’s friends, but the distance has prompted concerns about their marital harmony.
Further complicating matters, Meghan reportedly canceled a charity event in Santa Barbara last minute, citing illness, and there have been claims she has been spending less time at their Montecito home.

Meanwhile, Harry has been seen participating in solo engagements, including a recent charity event in London.
As Meghan continues to pursue her personal projects, including her lifestyle brand, the couple’s apparent distance raises questions about the future of their relationship.
With both navigating their individual paths, the public remains curious about what lies ahead for the Sussexes.
