Meghan Markle appears overlooked by David Foster at charity gala

The David Foster Foundation celebrated its 40th anniversary in Victoria, Canada, where Meghan Markle and Prince Harry arrived on the carpet. Video circulating online shows Markle extending her arm toward host David Foster, who passed by without a greeting, though he offered a smile to Harry. Foster’s spouse, Katherine McPhee, soon arrived and stood beside Markle, allowing the two couples to pose together for photographs.

Observers on social platforms split over the moment, some labeling it a snub and others calling it an innocent oversight. The Sussexes have maintained a long-standing friendship with Foster and McPhee, with Harry often describing their relationship as a father-son dynamic. McPhee has spoken publicly about the closeness of the families and Foster’s role in assisting the couple after they stepped back from royal duties. No comment was obtained from representatives of either party.
