Through the decades, members of the royal family have attended the Met Gala. In 1996, Princess Diana was spotted at the event wearing a navy gown designed by by John Galliano for Dior, and stunning pearl and sapphire choker; more recently, in 2018, Princess Beatrice wore a flowing purple dress to the \u201cHeavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination\u201d themed f\u00eate.<\/p>\n
However, two royals have yet to grace the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art for fashion\u2019s biggest night: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and royal fans will have to wait at least another year to see the Duke and Duchess of Sussex make their Met Gala debut. Despite the annual speculation they could attend, Meghan and Harry won\u2019t be in attendance at the 2026 Met Gala, which celebrates costume art.<\/p>\n
Last week, Meghan gave an interview to an Australian publication about her approach to fashion<\/a>. \u201cFashion is one of the most powerful industries,\u201d Meghan told The Weekly<\/a>. \u201cIt influences how we feel and what we project. And even if you don\u2019t say a word, you can convey something in what you wear. Over the last several years, I would hear about an incorrect designer getting credit for something I wore, either via affiliate links or press, and that never seemed fair.\u201d<\/p>\n She added, \u201cCredit where credit is due. These brands and designers work so hard and take great pride in their work, and I choose them for a reason. Either supporting a friend, being brand loyal\u2026 it\u2019s always been important to me that the correct designer is credited.\u201d<\/p>\n
