Overview
- The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended a black‑tie gala in Victoria, British Columbia, for the David Foster Foundation’s 40th‑anniversary celebration on Aug. 7, marking a public fundraising appearance for the couple.
- Meghan wore a navy Greta Constantine gown and a pair of diamond‑and‑sapphire earrings that once belonged to Princess Diana, a choice widely reported as a personal nod to the late princess.
- The couple posed on the red carpet with longtime friends David Foster and Katharine McPhee and were shown in foundation social posts and in Meghan’s Instagram behind‑the‑scenes clips.
- The David Foster Foundation raises money to cover non‑medical costs for Canadian families whose children need life‑saving organ transplants and marked the weekend with a gala and a free concert at Victoria’s Inner Harbour.
- The appearance reinforced the Sussexes’ enduring ties to Foster and to Canada and came days after a private UK family visit that included meetings with King Charles III and a visit to Princess Diana’s resting place.
