Meghan Markle’s first appearance after Lilibet’s secret baptism in Montecito. The Duchess surprised the waiting photographers with disarming kindness.
Montecito – It was a picture that many fans have long missed. Because Prince Harry (38) had his memoirs “Spare” (Eng. “Reserve”), which became a bestseller since the beginning of January – unusual for the Sussexes – single-handedly promoted. Meghan Markle (41) has disappeared from the face of the earth. Even at the announcement of Lilibet’s (1) baptism, nobody saw her apart from the handful of invited guests. Now the radiantly smiling Meghan ran into a few waiting photographers as she left the Gracias Madre restaurant in West Hollywood in Los Angeles and surprised them with her reaction.
Wow performance by Meghan Markle in West Hollywood after a long media break
As Meghan Markle left a Los Angeles restaurant on Wednesday afternoon, she happily accepted a photographer’s compliment on her looks and had a few kind words in return. The press representatives had approached her. A male voice was captured in a video telling Meghan a “Happy International Women’s Day!” You look great by the way.” Before Meghan got into the waiting SUV, the Duchess turned to the group, happily returned the greetings and replied: “Have a nice day guys – thank you very much”.
To complement her big smile, Meghan wore a sleek £3,390 Max Mara black cashmere coat, £170 dark Valentino sunglasses, £540 Valentino white mules and a black jumper and a pair of cigarette trousers. The star of the outfit (and most expensive item) was a cute classic Chanel tweed handbag with a chain: the 19 Stitch Bag is a whopping $6,400.
Lilibet’s christening overshadows poor poll numbers for the Sussexes
Princess Lilibet Diana, who will turn two in June, was christened by Archbishop of Los Angeles Rev. John Taylor in Montecito on Friday (March 3). Lilibet’s title and that of her brother Archie, who turns four on May 6, have been updated on the Buckingham Palace website.
The christening attracted a great deal of public interest and, with its cute bonus, is likely to distract from her parents’ low popularity in Great Britain and, more recently, in the United States.
In an elegant dress, Meghan went about the work of her Archewell Foundation
Meghan’s companion was quickly identified and the reason for the meeting was revealed. The ladies arrived from the Archewell brunch, as Meghan was joined by Ashley Momtaheni Hansen, Head of Communications at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Charity Foundation. However, the photographers could not find out whether the business brunch or the confirmation of the baptism of her daughter Princess Lilibet Diana, which was announced just hours before, was the reason for the Duchess’s good mood. In any case, the Gracias Madre on the famous Melrose Avenue is known for its vegan and organic dishes and stocks 93 different types of tequila.
The Archewell Foundation’s website later confirmed that Meghan was also visiting the charity Harvest Home, which provides housing and emotional support to expectant mothers struggling with issues such as domestic violence, drug use and homelessness. Then it was on to opening a pop-up baby boutique. No doubt there is much to be settled before the royal couple embark on their journey to London for the coronation of Charles III in May. (74) appears despite the lack of official confirmation, although none of the Royal Family appeared at Lilibet’s christening. Sources used: dailymail.co.uk, mirror.co.uk
