Meghan Markle turned heads on Saturday as she attended the LA Children’s Hospital gala, stepping out in a striking red Carolina Herrera dress.

Meghan Markle, 43, chose to recycle a revealing red dress which she previously wore to a New York City gala in 2021 to honour military personnel on the eve of Veterans Day and Armistice Day.

The glamorous event on Saturday night, held at LA Live’s event deck, featured performances by Demi Lovato and appearances from Hollywood stars like Kaley Cuoco and Jamie Lee Curtis.

However, Prince Harry was noticeably absent as he continued his solo tour of South Africa.

Rumours of the couple spending more time apart have circulated recently, as Harry has made several solo appearances, including a visit to Lesotho, the United Kingdom and to New York City.

People magazine reported that both Harry and Meghan are now focused on individual goals, with the Prince concentrating on his patronage work while Meghan pursues her own ventures.

However, sources deny any major tension between the couple, saying they remain strong despite differing priorities.

A source close to Harry told the Daily Mail that his increased solo activities, including his trip to Lesotho, could be part of his efforts to rebuild his image. “I believe he wants space,” the insider said.

They added: “This definitely feels like he is upping his game to cement his position as a serious player on the international stage.

“He’s always been desperate to be taken seriously and people I know say his fall from grace will really have got to him.

“It is a surprise that he went to Lesotho without Meghan. There may be a good reason she can’t leave the kids, but she’s never been to Lesotho and that surprises me – it is like a second home [to Harry].

“He first went there as a teenager and the royal family there is like his second family.”

It has also been claimed that disagreements between the couple have emerged over how to raise their two children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three, according to The Sun.

While Harry prefers keeping them out of the public eye, Meghan reportedly wants them to attend more local events.
