Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, released a heartfelt statement as her husband, Prince Harry, returned to the United States after a series of solo public appearances. Meghan, who recently made a striking solo appearance at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) Gala, expressed her continued support for charitable causes in her latest public statement.
For those unfamiliar, the Duchess attended the CHLA Gala to support the hospital’s charitable work and raise awareness for the exceptional services it provides to children in need. The message released on the official Sussex website read, “This weekend, Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex attended the biennial Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) Gala, an inspiring event dedicated to celebrating the exceptional services provided to children across LA.”
Meghan’s attendance at the event was particularly meaningful, as she was invited as a special guest by CHLA’s president and CEO, Paul Viviano. Her spokesperson added, “The former working royal was proud to stand alongside esteemed guests in support of this vital cause.” The gala, held every two years, is a significant fundraiser for the hospital, drawing attention to the hospital’s life-saving work with underprivileged children.
During the event, Meghan took a moment to speak with journalists, where she expressed her admiration for the hospital staff and management. She highlighted the “remarkable efforts made by the management and hospital staff in order to provide health care to underprivileged kids.” Her words underscored her commitment to philanthropy and helping vulnerable communities, echoing the humanitarian values she and Prince Harry have prioritized in their public lives.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry’s return to the U.S. comes after a busy period of solo engagements across different continents. He attended several high-profile events, including appearances in New York City, London, and South Africa. Meghan’s statement comes as Harry has finally returned home after his globe-trotting schedule.
Despite attending separate events, Meghan and Harry remain aligned in their dedication to charitable work. Meghan’s involvement at the CHLA Gala demonstrated her unwavering commitment to causes that matter to her, even while Harry was abroad. Her thoughtful words and presence at the event reflected her ongoing efforts to make a difference, particularly for children and families in need. As the Sussexes continue their public engagements, both individually and together, their shared mission to support global causes remains clear.
