TV presenter Lizzie Cundy was disappointed to discover that the Duchess of Sussex was wearing a dress similar to hers at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles gala last weekend.
The Duchess of Sussex swapped her usual slicked-back hairstyle for a wavier look when she attended the event on Saturday night, opting for minimal jewelry and more subtle makeup.
Wearing a red dress that she wore for the first time in 2021, Meghan joked to a child at the gala that it’s “surely past bedtime.” Then he said to his mother: ‘How old are they? Oh, very close to our children.’ Harry and Meghan’s son Archie is five years old and their daughter Lilibet is three.
When the duchess wore the Carolina Herrera dress at a 2021 gala, she wore heavy eye makeup.
Saturday’s solo appearance, in which she removed the train of her $5,990 (£4,568) dress to give it a simpler look, came as Harry embarked on a two-week ‘quasi-royal tour’ without her.
Lizzie told the Mail: “I would have worn a different one if I’d known,” says Lizzie, 56, who was wearing a £259 Pia Michi dress.
“There wasn’t a lot of warmth from the people when she arrived. He wasn’t there long; He seemed to be there for the photographs.

Lizzie was among the people who befriended Meghan before she met Prince Harry.
The couple were previously friends after they met at a charity gala in 2013, however Meghan became ‘ghosted’ by Lizzie after meeting Prince Harry.
Lizzie added: ‘Meghan needs LA more than LA needs her. The people of Los Angeles feel that she has deceived them.
‘Harry and Meghan were loved because they are part of the Royal Family, but they have spoken ill of the royals, who are loved in Los Angeles.
“It’s a shame because charity work is where she and Harry do great things.”
Speaking in 2021, she said: “We have a clip of her saying: ‘I want to be a London girl, I love London men and I love everything to do with London.'”
‘I was asked to look after Meghan when she came here. I wanted to meet someone.
But the presenter claimed Meghan then cut all contact with her, adding: “She cheated on me once the engagement came around.”

His contacts in California told the Mail that they believe the new ‘Harry solo’ is his idea. “I think he wants space,” one said.
A London source said: “I definitely feel he is improving his game to cement his position as a serious player on the international stage.”
“He’s always been desperate to be taken seriously.”
