The mother of two styled her dark locks in loose waves and opted for a minimal makeup look.

Prince Harry was notably absent, and this has become an increasing trend as insiders claim the couple are going “their own ways” when it comes to professional work.

Once inseparable, the duo often attended public events together. Their recent solo appearances have also fueled rumors of potential marital issues .

According to Larissa May, the founder of #HalfTheStory, and a guest at the event, Meghan opened up about being a victim of bullying.

"We did an activity where we talked through a bunch of scenarios, and Meghan talked about being one of the most bullied people in the world," May revealed to Vanity Fair . "We had girls wave these little emoji signs and talk about how each one of these scenarios would have impacted them emotionally."

She added, "With Stephanie and Meghan, we talked about what it really means to grow up in this digital age."

Back in September, both Harry and Meghan told CBS Mornings about their wish to bring awareness about the dangers of cyberbullying.

Meghan shared, "Our kids are young; they’re three and five. They’re amazing. But all you want to do as parents is protect them,” Meghan said. “And so, as we can see what’s happening in the online space, we know that there’s a lot of work to be done there, and we’re just happy to be able to be a part of change for good."
