Meghan Markle was snapped enjoying a fun night out in New York while her husband, Prince Harry, travelled to war-torn Ukraine on Thursday. The Duchess of Sussex was snapped strolling around the Big Apple with a four-car motorcade on Thursday night as she headed out for a meal and a Broadway show and made a post about it on social media.
Meghan looked chic in a Carolina Herrera maxi houndstooth skirt, which she paired with a simple black shirt tucked in. She finished the look with a pair of black pointed heels and her beloved tennis necklace while her hair was styled in loose waves. In pictures published by Page Six, the duchess was seen being escorted by a four-vehicle motorcade to the theatre.
According to the outlet, included in the motorcade was an “unmarked NYPD car”.
Meghan went to the Majestic Theatre where she and her pals watched a revival of Gypsy starring Audra McDonald.
The outlet claimed the duchess, who was also snapped getting into the theatre, managed to go unnoticed by onlookers, who noted the security did seem “ramped up”.
The production of Gypsy posted pictures of the duchess meeting with the actors after the show.
Meghan gushed about meeting Ms McDonald for the first time in a new post on her Instagram following her outing. Sharing the same pictures as the production, including a clip of her meeting the cast, Meghan said: “If you get a chance to see @gypsybway, you absolutely must. Congratulations to the tremendously talented cast and crew for creating magic on that stage. And meeting @audramcdonald for the first time last night…. Her performance will leave you absolutely speechless. Full body chills. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house, and if the theater didn’t have to close for the night, the standing ovation would still be happening.”
Before the performance, Meghan was snapped visiting the Polo Bar for a meal with “a few friends”.
Meanwhile, her husband was miles away visiting Ukraine, as part of his ongoing work supporting injured veterans.
Harry met war victims at an orthopaedic clinic and rehabilitation centre in Lviv and was joined by people from the Invictus Games Foundation, including four veterans who have been through similar experiences to the civilians and ex-service personnel being rehabilitated at the Superhumans Centre.
