Why Meghan Markle Should Make Red Carpet Return for Prince Harry

Meghan Markle should return to the red carpet and support Prince Harry as he accepts a high-profile award next month, as doing so could prove “beneficial” to her overall public image, an entertainment expert has told Newsweek.

Harry will be presented with the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the 2024 ESPY Awards on July 11 in Los Angeles, California.

The royal is being recognized for his military service and for his commitment to the world’s veteran communities through sport with his Invictus Games tournament.

Though Harry’s attendance at the event has yet to be confirmed, an in-person appearance with Meghan could add some extra glamor and interest to proceedings.

Entertainment expert and founder of MarkMeets Mark Boardman told Newsweek that the positive development for Harry could also work in Meghan’s favor, presenting the couple with the opportunity to reap the benefits of an uncontroversial outing to celebrate a good cause.

Given the positive context of the event, her presence would not only show her commitment to be at Harry’s side, but also potentially shift some public focus towards their shared philanthropic efforts. From a media perspective, another red carpet photography opportunity would secure more press coverage for the Duchess of Sussex and potentially some interview snippets to promote her latest ventures.”
