Meghan Markle\u2019s royal husband went alone to another function to address suspicions about their marriage on the same day that she attended a special banquet where her appearance drew harsh criticism.\n
On December 4, prominent public people attended the renowned Paley Honors Fall Gala in Beverly Hills, California, looking dapper. Among the celebrities on the A-list guest list was 43-year-old Meghan Markle. Despite her sophisticated glam look, her physical features did not impress netizens.\n
The Duchess of Sussex wore a stylish strapless dress with a slit on one side and a long train that followed her around the red carpet for the glamorous event.\n
\n
She accessorized her look with gorgeous diamond jewelry, such as her wedding ring, a gold bracelet, and an eye-catching necklace.\n
The 43-year-old finished off her appearance with an updo that left a few stray strands on one side to frame her face and open-toed, strapped heels. She also used minimal makeup to draw attention to her beauty.\n
At the event, the Duchess of Sussex was joined by the renowned actor and filmmaker Tyler Perry, 55, who was honored with a tribute during the gala.\n
The organization\u2019s website provided details about the event, including information on how to purchase tickets and tables, stating, \u201cThe Paley Honors Award, presented by The Paley Center for Media, is the organization\u2019s highest honor.\u201d\n
