With Prince Harry’s memoir Spare flying off shelves and his documentary with Meghan Markle soaring to the most-streamed spot on Netflix, the former Royals have begun to enter into their celebrity era.
But it seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will now look to cement their A-list status in Hollywood by making their debut at the showbiz and fashion extravaganza that is the Met Gala this year.
It will be a first for both Meghan, who did not merit an invite when she was an actress on Suits and Harry, who will be the first royal to ever attend the bash if they do get the greenlight.
Coveted invites are sent out by a select committee, headed up by Vogue supremo Anna Wintour, with only the top ranking stars of screen, fashion and music meriting a pass.
Back in 2020, Harry and Meghan announced that they would be stepping away from their royal duties to carve out a new life for themselves in California.
Now, royal commenters are holding out that the pair might be on the guest list for more celebrity events this year, including the highly coveted Met Gala - which is set to take place on the 1st May this year at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City.
Speaking of their recent appearance at Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi’s vow renewal in Montecito, California, the Royally Us podcast hosts Christine Ross and Christina Garibaldi believe this may not be the only time that Meghan and Harry find themselves on a celebrity guest list this year.
Christina said to listeners: “It was definitely an A-List Hollywood guestlist and I think that’s where Harry and Meghan want to find themselves — on that A-List Hollywood circuit.
She continued: “I think this is the first of many times we’re going to see Harry and Meghan in these A-List circuits. I would keep an eye out on things like the Met Gala, the big red carpets this year, to see where they are going to find their place in the celebrity minefield.”
Christine then added: “I totally agree with you. I think they are going to be making their Met Gala debut this year, for sure.”
The fact they have been tipped to attend the Met Gala this year is an interesting observation, as the Met Gala is set to take place in the beginning of May - just five days before the Coronation of King Charles III on 6th May 2023.
Speculation over whether Harry and Meghan will be invited to the coronation has arisen since the pair rocked the Royal family with the release of their Hollywood-based projects and told personal stories of their relationship with the likes of Prince William, Kate Middleton and King Charles himself.
