Did Prince Harry Really Ditch His Son Archie’s Birthday Party To Attend The 2024 Met Gala?

British royal family news reveals that on Monday, May 6, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son Archie turned five. Reports indicated that Harry would be in LA for his son’s birthday party, even though he is due to be in London on Wednesday.

Royal Family News – Was Harry At The Met Gala?

The Met Gala takes place on the first Monday in May and with tickets costing $75,000 the event is for the A-list crowd.

It is the place to be seen, and celebs wear outrageous costumes that need tons of helping hands as they pose for the paparazzi.

There are always fancy gowns with oversized trains and each year several gentlemen are on hand to help the ladies as they walk around and parade their fashions. This year one helper in particular had fans doing a double take.

These men are dressed in tuxedos and try to stay out of the way of the cameras. But one helper looked just like Prince Harry.

The X account Royal Tea captured Prince Harry’s lookalike fixing one lady’s dress and asked “Why is Prince Harry’s doppelgänger fixing trains on the #MetGala2024 carpet?? They need to hire him as body double – even the bald spots are right!”

Harry’s doppelgänger was so distracting that he was a hot topic alongside spectacles like Zendaya’s two daring outfits and Kim Kardashian’s no-waist frock.

Comments ranged from incredulous to amusing with one person posting “Is it just me or is Prince Harry fluffing trains on the #MetGala red carpet?”

Another wrote “I honestly thought for a split second that Prince Harry had got himself a new job holding people[‘s] dresses at the Met Gala.”

In other news, Harry will travel alone to the UK to give a speech at the Invictus Games’ 10th anniversary celebration on Wednesday.

Afterward, he and Meghan will tour Nigeria in what some have derided as an attempt to frame themselves as alternate royals. Never a dull moment with the Markles.
