Duchess of Sussex to join global powerhouses at TIME100 Summit amid royal family tensions
Meghan Markle is set to reach a new milestone this month as she prepares to take the global stage at the TIME100 Summit—despite her ongoing feud with the royal family, particularly with Kate Middleton.
The Duchess of Sussex will appear at the prestigious event on April 23 in New York City, where she’ll join a lineup of influential figures including Demi Moore and Ryan Reynolds. The event will spotlight leaders and changemakers from around the world.
According to TIME’s website, “The fifth-annual TIME100 Summit will feature leaders from the global TIME community to spotlight solutions and encourage action toward a better world. Speakers for the day-long event include: Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and founder of As Ever, actor and producer.”
This marks another step forward for Meghan, who appears to be enjoying a powerful return to the spotlight in 2024 with several new projects in motion. She and Prince Harry were previously featured on the cover of TIME magazine’s 100 Most Influential People issue in 2021.
The summit will be followed by the TIME100 Gala on April 24, hosted by rapper Snoop Dogg, though it remains unconfirmed if the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will attend.
As royal tensions continue to simmer, Meghan’s upcoming appearance signals her growing influence and independence—separate from the monarchy she left behind.
