Meghan Markle’s New York City Visit: Style and Theatre

Meghan Markle recently traveled to New York City while her husband, Prince Harry, was away on a business engagement in Ukraine. The Duchess of Sussex enjoyed an evening in Manhattan, dining at the renowned Polo Bar with friends before attending a performance of the Broadway revival of Gypsy.

Stylish Evening Out

On her night out, Markle wore a stylish houndstooth pencil skirt by Carolina Herrera, complemented by a classic black button-up top and elegant stiletto heels. Sources indicate that she was accompanied by a significant security detail, arriving in a convoy of four vehicles, including an unmarked NYPD car, as she transitioned from dinner to the theater.

A Tribute to Princess Diana

The choice of houndstooth seemed to resonate as a tribute to the late Princess Diana, who often donned the classic pattern. This subtle fashion nod highlights Markle’s conscious blending of royal legacy with her contemporary style.

Appreciation for the Arts

After the performance, Markle took to Instagram to share her experience, posting several photos from the evening. In her detailed caption, she commended the exceptional talents of Audra McDonald, who stars in the Gypsy revival, and praised the entire cast for their remarkable work on stage.

“If you get a chance to see @gypsybway, you absolutely must,” she wrote. She expressed her awe at McDonald’s performance, noting that it left the audience “absolutely speechless” and that the energy in the theater was so powerful, a standing ovation could have continued indefinitely if the show had not concluded.

Celebrating Connections

McDonald also shared her excitement on social media, posting a series of photos from Markle’s visit, and commented on the pleasure of having her in attendance. The friendship is evident, as McDonald previously expressed admiration for Markle, acknowledging the challenges she faces in the public eye while highlighting her resilience: “I don’t know how she continues to walk through this world with the grace, strength and purpose that she does,” she remarked in an earlier interview with Vanity Fair.

Markle’s outing comes shortly after the launch of her As Ever brand, following a year of anticipation.
