Meghan Markle gave a statement in celebration of her Thanksgiving event last week, where she appeared without her husband Prince Harry.
The two are reportedly in the middle of a professional separation, with some saying their work relationship has been “in a very bad state” since last month.

But Meghan didn’t let that stop her as she hosted an intimate gathering for the Southern California Welcome Project through the Sussexes’ Archewell Foundation.

The event was meant to be a “heartfelt dinner” for Afghan women resettling in the US.
As per the Archewell website, the statement read, “This initiative, led by the partner organization Mina’s List, has spent the past year building community through storytelling and creating a safe space for women who have resettled in the U.S. from Afghanistan.”

The evening reportedly included a meal with open conversations centered around “gratitude and resilience,” as the Duchess shared her excitement for the future gatherings that were yet to come.
“The Archewell Foundation remains committed to uplifting women and fostering community through shared experiences, reinforcing the importance of unity and support during challenging times,” said the site.

Meanwhile, her husband was in Vancouver to promote the upcoming 2025 Invictus Games.
They are set to attend the sporting event together from Feb 8 to Feb 16. Meghan had previously hinted their kids — Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet — may make an appearance.

Insider Angela Levin said Meghan and Harry were “navigating their next steps” last month after the two hadn’t been seen out together in public for a period of time.
Meghan stayed home with their kids while the prince went on several trips abroad himself and many flagged “scheduling conflicts” to be in control of their public image.
“He’s got trouble with his visa,” said Angela. “They’re allowed to look again at what the problem is, and he might still not be able to stay there. Maybe that’s why they’re buying somewhere else.”

However, they did appear together earlier this month in a video in honor of Veteran’s Day, where Harry admitted the pair had been “at a crosswords” with work recently, according to the New York Post.
In the clip, they further discussed how they were prioritizing children’s online safety using the Archewell Foundation.

The couple’s nonprofit organization was founded in 2020 and had one mission: “show up, do good.”
Its website read, “We are committed to uncovering and resolving the root causes of issues, prioritizing lasting solutions over temporary fixes.

“Our work is underpinned by the core belief that mental health and our collective wellbeing are paramount. We prioritize solutions that consider families, youth, race, and gender, and strive to find joy and hope we all share for the future.”
