Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a rare public appearance Wednesday night at the Intrepid Museum’s Salute to Freedom Gala in New York City, which honors military veterans ahead of Veterans Day and raises money for the museum’s educational programs.
Markle looked to Carolina Herrera for the gala, wearing a bright red gown from Wes Gordon’s pre-fall 2022 collection. The satin dress featured a slight plunging neckline and a flowing train. Markle complemented the look with a poppy flower pin to pay respect to the U.K.’s Remembrance Day, which takes place today. Markle finished the look with matching satin pumps by Giuseppe Zanotti, diamond earrings and a sleek bun.

It’s about the camaraderie we share…the laughs, the comfort, the pain, the challenge, and yes, the banter.”
