Anna Wintour Shuns Meghan Markle, Blocking Her from British Met Gala

In just a month's time, London is set to host its inaugural British Met Gala, but this fashion extravaganza seems to be enveloped in an unexpected silence.

The British version of the renowned Met Gala is scheduled to take place next month, with a guest list that reads like a who's who of fashion and celebrity circles.

Renowned figures such as Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne, and are among the notable attendees.

Vogue boss Anna Wintour, who considers New York's annual Met Gala her brainchild, personally approves the theme and guest list.

She is expected to attend the Vogue World event at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden on September 14th, hoping to make the London event equally sensational.

According to sources, celebrities from around the world will grace the UK event, and their outfits are expected to be awe-inspiring.

Overseen by BAFTA-winning film director Stephen Daldry, the event has been described as a celebration of the British performing arts.

It will feature a performance by rapper Stormzy, launch London Fashion Week, and raise millions for organizations including the National Theatre, the Royal Opera House, and the Royal Ballet.

However, one prominent figure will be conspicuously absent from this star-studded affair – .

Rumors have been swirling that would not receive a Vogue cover or an invitation to the Met Gala.

This year's Met Gala also did not extend an invitation to the Duchess.

Kinsey Schofield, speaking to the Express, discussed Meghan's absence from the fashion extravaganza, suggesting that Anna Wintour may have intentionally excluded her.

Schofield stated that the Vogue editor holds great admiration for the monarchy and may have refrained from inviting Meghan to avoid diverting attention from ' coronation.

“I don't know if Meghan would be invited to the Met Gala at this point,” Schofield expressed.

“The Sussex brand has turned quite toxic in the States for a number of reasons.”

The Met Gala is notorious for its secrecy and extravagance, with celebrities often sneaking selfies in the bathroom due to its discreet nature.

Not only would all eyes be on Harry and Meghan, potentially overshadowing other attendees, but there is also concern that conversations had with the couple may be repeated.

Furthermore, the Sussexes' tendency to focus on the negative has not left a favorable impression on everyone.

Schofield further discussed Wintour's affinity for the monarchy, suggesting that she ensured the event would not detract attention from Britain's new monarch's coronation.

“Anna Wintour has always had great admiration for II and the monarchy,” Schofield continued.

“I don't think Vogue's Queen would want to taint ' coronation celebration with such a disruptive appearance.”

So far, Harry and Meghan have not received invitations to any events in Hollywood as they attempt to reshape their public image.

However, their efforts may not yield the desired outcome.

In a recent interview, public relations expert Edward Coram James explained that the couple appears to struggle with the conflict between desiring a private life and seeking attention.

When the narrative does not align with their intentions, they attempt to regain control forcefully, demanding the perspective, storyline, or exposure they desire.

Unfortunately, this approach only reinforces the perception that they are attention seekers.

Coram James emphasized that actions speak louder than words, and if they truly want to dispel this notion, it would be wise to lay low for an extended period of time rather than engaging in high-profile publicity campaigns.

In conclusion, Anna Wintour's exclusion of Meghan Markle from the British Met Gala reflects the tensions surrounding the Sussexes' public image.

As the fashion world eagerly awaits the event, it remains to be seen how Harry and Meghan will navigate their desire for privacy while still seeking attention.
