Meghan did not attend the May 6 coronation ceremony for her father-in-law King Charles, held at Westminster Abbey. Harry went alone and stayed mere hours in London for the historic event.
At Meghan’s award ceremony he wore a now familiar navy suit, a white shirt and blue tie. Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland was also on hand and looked stunning in a black dress, black slingback heels and a black clutch bag.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussexes looked pleased with themselves but avoided answering any questions by skipping the event’s red carpet livestream. Meghan was expected to speak upon receipt of the award.
The Women of Vision website described Meghan as “a feminist, champion of human rights and gender equity, and global role model.”
It went on to say “Meghan is also a passionate advocate for family rights, and an investor in dynamic female founded companies. Meghan is noted as one of the most powerful and influential women in the world, topping lists such as TIME Magazine’s Most Influential People, The Financial Times’ 25 Most Influential Women, Variety Power of Women, and British Vogue’s Vogue 25.”

Social media was not as gushing with one person tweeting: “‘Unlike fake organizations like @msfoundation creating awards to massage the egos of Hollywood fake celebrities and failed royals like #MeghanMarkle, true Awards are different as they celebrate TRUE HEROES. Ordinary, hardworking, people!”
Another person tweeted: “Meghan Markle is the farthest thing from a feminist that I know of… That person is not a feminist… I hope the $$ was worth the bad press this will generate for you. You’re getting Markled!”
