The event was meant to be a “heartfelt dinner” for Afghan women resettling in the US.
As per the Archewell website, the statement read, “This initiative, led by the partner organization Mina’s List, has spent the past year building community through storytelling and creating a safe space for women who have resettled in the U.S. from Afghanistan.”

The evening reportedly included a meal with open conversations centered around “gratitude and resilience,” as the Duchess shared her excitement for the future gatherings that were yet to come.
“The Archewell Foundation remains committed to uplifting women and fostering community through shared experiences, reinforcing the importance of unity and support during challenging times,” said the site.

Meanwhile, her husband was in Vancouver to promote the upcoming 2025 Invictus Games.
They are set to attend the sporting event together from Feb 8 to Feb 16. Meghan had previously hinted that their kids—Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet—may make an appearance.

Insider Angela Levin said last month that Meghan and Harry were “navigating their next steps” after the two hadn’t been seen out together in public for a period of time.
Meghan stayed home with their kids while the prince went on several trips abroad, with many flagging the “scheduling conflicts” as a way to control their public image.
“He’s got trouble with his visa,” said Angela. “They’re allowed to look again at what the problem is, and he might still not be able to stay there. Maybe that’s why they’re buying somewhere else.”

However, they did appear together earlier this month in a video in honor of Veteran’s Day, where Harry admitted the pair have been “at a crossroads” with work recently, according to the New York Post.
In the clip, they further discussed how they were prioritizing the online safety of children using the Archewell Foundation.

The couple’s nonprofit organization was founded in 2020 and had one mission: “Show up, do good.”
Its website read, “We are committed to uncovering and resolving the root causes of issues, prioritizing lasting solutions over temporary fixes.”

“Our work is underpinned by the core belief that mental health and our collective wellbeing are paramount. We prioritize solutions that consider families, youth, race, and gender, and strive to find joy and hope we all share for the future.”
Commenters wondered what a “professional separation” entailed for Meghan and Harry

The ROYAL connection - lead to more CAMERA COVERAGE - which is ALL this woman wants and Needs in her life. ONCE they split legally - America will no longer want her.

There wont be a divorce until she has found someone else. As a narcissist, she always requires a "fuel" source, preferably an intimate partner primary. Harry fulfils that role at present, and she won't let him go until she has a replacement, preferably (definitely) with more available money. Trouble is she has shot herself in the foot. She now has what she always wanted - world fame. There isn't a multi-millionaire or billionaire on the planet who would take her on now. Besides, she's too old. But her narcissism will refuse to believe that and she'll keep trying. But I think Harry is going to be stuck with her for good.

Wait, so this C-list-celebrity power-grubber hosted a Thanksgiving event.... for people from a culture who don't CELEBRATE Thanksgiving? Did she serve any traditional Afghan foods? I understand that these women live in America now and can adopt our traditions if they want to (my ex-boyfriend's parents, who immigrated from Taiwan/China in the 1970s, celebrate traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas) but because this is Markle, it feels like yet another disingenuous, gross attempt to be an actual humanitarian - like Princess Diana was. I'm also wondering if, because Markle realizes that her marriage to the prince didn't come with ANY of the power/fame that she was expecting it would, that's why this "professional separation" is now happening.
