Meghan Markle's Inspiring Return to Public Life

0:00On March 20th, Meghan Markle stepped out for a charity gala in Los Angeles, her first public event since parting ways with Netflix to run her, lifestyle brand, as ever, on her own. She was there to honor her close friend Kelly Zotchfin, who got recognized for her work with the Alliance for Children's Rights at their 34th, annual Champions for Children Dinner. The night at the fancy Beverly Wilshire Hotel, included Meghan on the red carpet, giving a speech and sharing a lighthearted behind-the-scenes video. In it, she playfully caught some women filming a TikTok dance in the ladies' room and joined the fun. Meghan and Kelly have been friends for more than 20 years, both living in California. Kelly sadly lost her 9-year-old son George to a viral illness four years ago, and Meghan, along with Prince Harry, donated $5,000 to A Day. Fund in his memory, signing it from their kids, Archie and Lillibet. Those from the event showed Meghan hugging Kelly, who is now expecting a baby boy, and cradling her baby bump on the red carpet.

She shared sweet clips of four-year-old Lillibet and six-year-old Archie helping out, showing she's blending family, business, and causes she cares about.
