Meghan Markle Expected to Receive Honor at Los Angeles Natural History Museum Gala

Meghan Markle is set to be honored at the Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County's Night of Wonder gala on June 14 for her work championing community wellbeing, especially for underserved women and expanding educational opportunities. The event, taking place at the museum's Exposition Park location, will feature immersive exhibits, live music, and a farm-to-table dinner inspired by the museum's nature gardens, with Meghan expected to deliver a speech. Lori Bettison-Varga, the museum's president and director, highlighted that Meghan's mission aligns with the museum's equity-focused approach to science literacy through STEM and STEAM Pathways programs. The gala coincides with King Charles' official birthday celebrations in London, where other senior royals will be present, underscoring Meghan's prominent role on the West Coast. Meghan and Prince Harry, who have lived in California since 2020 with their children Archie and Lilibet, have remained active in public life and philanthropy. The honor reflects Meghan's longstanding dedication to uplifting young women and fostering inclusive communities through initiatives like their Archewell Foundation's Welcome Project.
