Meghan Markle Absent from Star-Studded Event as Hollywood Celebrities Gather for Baby to Baby Gala

Meghan Markle was noticeably absent from the highly anticipated 2022 Baby to Baby Gala, which took place in Los Angeles on Saturday night.

The event saw a gathering of Hollywood's elite, including Meghan's close friend, Tyler Perry.

However, the Duchess of Sussex did not make an appearance among the renowned and even the vaguely familiar faces in attendance.

During the gala, Kim Kardashian was presented with the prestigious Giving Tree Award for her unwavering support of the charity over the past decade, contributing to its remarkable growth.

The organization, Baby to Baby, provides resources to underprivileged children worldwide.

Before accepting the award, showrunners played a montage featuring numerous celebrities who expressed their admiration for Kim's philanthropic efforts.

The star-studded list included Chris Rock, Serena Williams, Katy Perry, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ryan Seacrest, Hillary Clinton, and many more.

Even Kim's own family, including her mother Kris Jenner, three sisters, and daughter North, joined in praising her accomplishments.

It was Meghan's dear friend, Tyler Perry, who had the honor of presenting Kim with the award.

In her speech, Meghan highlighted her personal definition of justice, emphasizing that what is right should always prevail.

However, it seems that Harry and Meghan have been excluded from the Hollywood scene, as they rarely receive invitations to such events.

Critics argue that Meghan often makes everything about herself, which has led to their apparent social isolation.

Unsurprisingly, royal fans took to social media to mock Harry and Meghan for their absence from the gala.

One Reddit user commented on Meghan's desire to be part of such events and mingle with the Hollywood crowd, suggesting that she might be feeling frustrated.

They also speculated that Meghan's involvement with Baby to Baby upon her arrival in LA was an attempt to gain acceptance within the celebrity community.

The user further claimed that Meghan's pushy and off-putting behavior might have made others uncomfortable, as she desperately sought to be included.

Another commenter, with experience in fundraising for a major organization involved in New York City's gala circuit, shared their perspective on Harry and Meghan's lack of involvement.

They mentioned that even when the couple teased a potential move to New York City and tried to establish connections, they were nowhere to be seen.

The commenter compared their absence to the recent “intrepid thing” event, which seemed as random as the Indiana Women's event.

They also highlighted that Harry and Meghan failed to attend Charles' inaugural Prince's Trust event in New York City earlier this year, despite the presence of numerous British celebrities and models.

In 2020, Harry and Meghan volunteered with Baby to Baby, capturing photos of themselves distributing school supplies.

However, critics argue that the couple merely did the bare minimum before retreating back into their private lives.

They accuse Harry and Meghan of not following through with their involvement in the charity, suggesting that if they were truly committed to a cause, they would dedicate themselves to it consistently.

Royal fans express disappointment that the couple has not engaged with Baby to Baby beyond the initial photo opportunity.

They believe that if Harry and Meghan were more proactive in their charitable endeavors, they would gain a reputation for being genuinely philanthropic.

Unfortunately, their lack of follow-through has hindered their progress in this regard.
