On Tuesday evening, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared together in New York at the Ms Foundation for Women’s 50th anniversary gala event, accompanied by Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland. The trio were later involved in in a ‘near catastrophic car chase with paparazzi’, Prince Harry’s spokesperson said.

She wore a strapless gold gown, as she was offered with the award by famend journalist and feminist activist Gloria Steinem.
The duchess’ acceptance speech closed out the gala, as she stated: “It’s never too late to start.
“You can be the visionary of your own life…There is still so much work to be done.
“I am a woman who remains inspired and driven by this organisation.
“It allowed me to recognise that part of my greater value and purpose in life was to advocate for those who felt unheard, to stand up to injustice, and to not be afraid of saying what is true and what is just and what is right.”
Tuesday’s occasion marks the primary public occasion that Harry and Meghan have attended collectively since the duke made the solo trip to the King’s coronation earlier this month.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been approached by the Standard for a remark relating to Monday evening’s incident.
