- UK News. Royal olive branch? Meghan Markle's jam gift to King Charles sparks reconciliation hopes
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have been the subject of endless speculation since stepping back from royal duties in 2020. As the 2025 Met Gala approaches on May 5, fans are buzzing about whether the couple will finally make their debut at the iconic event, especially amid reports they're eager to "stay relevant" in Hollywood. A subtle clue, highlighted by StyleCaster on May 2, has only fueled the intrigue surrounding their potential attendance.
The Met Gala, held annually at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a star-studded affair overseen by Vogue's Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour. This year's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," inspired by Monica L. Miller's book, promises a celebration of Black fashion history.
With co-chairs like Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, and Pharrell Williams, and LeBron James as an honorary co-chair, the event is set to be a cultural milestone. Harry and Meghan, who have never attended the Met Gala together, were reportedly invited in 2023 but couldn't attend due to scheduling conflicts with King Charles' coronation, as noted by Cosmopolitan.
The subtle clue to their 2025 attendance lies in Meghan's recent social media activity. On April 30, she posted a cryptic Instagram story featuring a vintage photo of Princess Diana at the 1996 Met Gala, captioned with a heart emoji. Diana's appearance, wearing a navy Dior slip dress, remains one of the event's most iconic moments. "The most memorable Royal to attend this event was none other than Prince Harry's mother, the late Princess Diana," underscoring the historical connection.
Harry and Meghan's attendance clue sparks excitement
Meghan and Harry's potential attendance comes as they lean further into Hollywood. Reports from StyleCaster suggest the couple is focused on staying relevant, with Meghan's Netflix series tied to her American Riviera Orchard brand adding to their visibility. The Met Gala would be a perfect stage for them to cement their A-list status, especially given the event's prestige.
However, their attendance remains unconfirmed, with Wintour's tight-lipped guest list keeping everyone guessing. The Sussexes' history with the Met Gala includes past invitations-Princess Beatrice attended in 2018-but Harry and Meghan have yet to make their mark on the famed red carpet, leaving fans eager for any sign they'll show up.
