On Wednesday, Dec. 4, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, showed her support for her friend Tyler Perry at the Paley Honors Fall Gala in Beverly Hills, which celebrated Perry’s achievements.
Meghan attended the gala solo. At 43 years old, she and her husband Prince Harry, who is 40, are speculated to be on the brink of divorce. They united for the Thanksgiving holiday for the benefit of their children. However, insiders claim the royal pair are currently experiencing a ‘professional separation.’
Tyler Perry, the 55-year-old director and playwright, received a lifetime achievement award during the gala. He is the godfather of Meghan and Harry’s 3-year-old daughter, Lilibet. The couple, who also have a 5-year-old son named Archie, escaped England for America following their announcement in January 2020 that they intended to relinquish their positions as senior working royals. Perry provided them with sanctuary in his luxurious mansion prior to their relocation to their present residence in Montecito, California.
In a parallel event, Prince Harry traveled across the nation to participate in an occasion in New York City on the same day, December 4.
Harry expressed his frustration about the details of his supposed separation from Meghan leaking to the public. “It seems we’ve bought or moved houses 10, 12 times,” he shared with journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin. “We’ve supposedly divorced maybe 10, 12 times too. What’s going on?” Harry remarked.
When questioned about why he and Meghan Markle were participating in events separately, Harry replied to Sorkin, “Since you invited me, you should already be aware!”
