Meghan faces chilly reception at LA charity gala

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been trying to build a life away from the royal family for several years now. The couple has shared their private lives and feelings about their time with the royals through a book and a documentary series. Besides that, they aim to remain active socialites across the ocean.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle usually appear together during official outings, offering each other substantial support in front of the cameras. The former duchess recently attended the LA Children's Hospital gala alone, where she faced an unwarm reception.

This past weekend, Meghan Markle attended the LA Children's Hospital gala and encountered a very unpleasant situation. According to Richard Eden's article in the Daily Mail, celebrities present did not hide their dislike for Prince Harry’s wife. British television presenter Lizzie Cundy shared some behind-the-scenes details about the event.

There wasn't a great deal of warmth from people when she arrived. She wasn't there long – she seemed to be there for the photographs. Meghan needs LA more than LA needs her. LA people feel they've been played by her. I'd have worn a different one if I'd known - said Lizzie Cundy in an interview for the Daily Mail.

Meanwhile, a friend of the couple noted that if Meghan and Harry were still working as members of the royal family, they would be welcomed with open arms everywhere.

Imagine the difference if they were still working royals. They would be the center of attention wherever they went. They would be patrons of organizations and charities, not just guests turning up - said a former friend of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in a conversation with Richard Eden.
