Anna Wintour vehemently refused to extend an invitation to Meghan Markle for the upcoming Met Gala, purportedly incensed by a jar of spoiled jam sent by Meghan Markle.
With this latest development, Meghan Markle's prospects of gracing the 2024 Met Gala with her presence seem to be dwindling rapidly. Anna Wintour, the esteemed editor of Vogue, is rumored to have barred both Meghan and Harry from not only the Met Gala but also from the coveted Vogue cover.
The Met Gala, scheduled for May 6th, is an annual fundraising event benefiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City. It signifies the grand opening of the annual fashion exhibit and is eagerly anticipated by enthusiasts of fashion and entertainment worldwide. Each year, the Gala adopts a specific theme, and attendees strive to adhere to it in their attire.
Despite persistent rumors, the chances of the Sussexes receiving an invitation to the Met Gala remain slim, especially after the incident involving the spoiled jam. A source close to an insider recently disclosed that Meghan's desire to attend the Gala seemed palpable, as evidenced by her dispatching a jar of spoiled strawberry jam to Anna Wintour. However, Meghan Markle finds herself conspicuously absent from this pinnacle social gathering, her aspirations dashed akin to a commoner's hopes for a fairy tale ending.
Anna Wintour, often dubbed the "queen bee" of Vogue and the orchestrator behind the velvet ropes of the Met Gala, reportedly greeted Meghan and Prince Harry with a frosty reception. Speculation swirls that Wintour's allegiance to the traditional royals, namely Prince William and Princess Kate, has contributed to the Sussexes' exclusion. Could it be that Meghan's relentless pursuit of the limelight and penchant for drama have finally taken their toll?
While it may seem logical for the Sussexes to stop by New York before heading to London, questions arise regarding Archie's significant fifth birthday celebration. If Meghan were to be invited to the Met Gala, it would entail a risk on their part, potentially exposing them as hypocrites for prioritizing a social event over their son's birthday, especially after the previous controversies surrounding royal events.
There are whispers that Meghan has been diligently leveraging her Hollywood connections to secure the elusive invitation, yet even the industry's heavyweights appear unable to sway Wintour's resolute stance. However, speculation persists that perhaps Anna Wintour could eventually be persuaded to extend an invitation to the Sussexes, especially if agents from WME, backed by Netflix or Sony, manage to negotiate their entry.
Regardless of the outcome, it's unlikely that Meghan would steal the spotlight at the Gala, considering recent guest lists and attendees. If the Sussexes were to attend, it would be intriguing to see where they are seated—perhaps next to the bathroom, given the perceived hierarchy of guests.
