There they are! Prince Harry and Megan Markle were a must when receiving the 2022 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope Award on Tuesday, December 6th in New York City.
Meghan, 41, dazzled in a white, off-the-shoulder, long-sleeved dress. That suits paired the chic look with a few small accessories – including Princess Diana’s famous aquamarine ring – and had her hair swept back into a low bun. Harry, 38, kept it classy in a black and white suit.
The couple were recognized for their work advocating for racial justice, mental health and other social causes through their Archewell Foundation.
“When the Duke and Duchess accepted our award invitation in March, we were thrilled. The couple has always stood out for their willingness to speak out and change the narrative on racial justice and mental health around the world.” Kerry Kennedy, President of Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights and daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy, said in a press release in October. “You embody the kind of civil courage my father once described as ‘an essential, vital quality for those who strive to transform a world that is most painfully susceptible to change.'”
Harry and Meghan will be honored alongside late NBA icon Bill Russell, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other “exemplary leaders”.
The couple arrived in the Big Apple earlier on Tuesday, with Harry wearing a white button-down shirt with black pants while Meghan donned an all-black outfit.
The Sussexes’ visit to the east coast comes amid the excitement surrounding their upcoming Netflix documentaries. Harry & Meganthe first three episodes of which premiere on Thursday, December 8th.
The project is expected to be an immersive experience as the suits The alum and the Invictus Games founder have vowed to tell the “full” truth about the many challenges they’ve faced since going public with their romance in 2016 (18 months.)
In an explosive trailer released on Monday, December 5, Harry claimed the palace had been spreading negative stories about him and Meghan. “There’s a family hierarchy,” Harry said into the camera. “You know, there are leaks, but stories are also being planted… It’s a dirty game.”
While the series is generating enthusiasm among fans, it appears to be worrying the royal family.
“This is really a blow to the royal family once again [Harry and Meghan]’, royal expert Jonathan Sakerdoti only told Us weekly on Thursday December 1st. “I think it’s quite difficult [for the royal family] not to pay attention to it. …You can’t ignore it. It’s a constant noise for them and something they’d like to get rid of.”
The California native and the spare part The author announced in January 2020 that they would be “taking a step back as senior members of the royal family”. The news shocked the world and strained the couple’s relationship with Harry’s brother, Prince William, and his wife, Princess Kate. (Author Robert Lacey claimed in a June 2021 Daily Mail said that the siblings privately “are at each other’s throats as hard as ever.”)
Following their royal departure, Meghan and Harry relocated to California, launched their Archewell Foundation and sat down for a smashing CBS interview in which Meghan revealed she was contemplating suicide due to increased scrutiny from British tabloids.
