Full Summary — powered by AI

During a red-carpet appearance at David Foster’s 40th-anniversary charity gala in Victoria, Canada, on Friday, August 7, 2026, Meghan Markle was reportedly “snubbed” by the event’s host, Grammy-winning musician David Foster. Social media clips circulating online show Foster walking past Meghan as she extended her hand to greet him, with some viewers interpreting his actions as a deliberate snub. Despite the viral clip, Meghan and Prince Harry were later seen posing for photos with Foster and his wife, Katharine McPhee, on the red carpet.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the black-tie gala, which celebrated four decades of the David Foster Foundation’s work. The foundation provides financial assistance to Canadian families with children undergoing organ transplants. Meghan and Harry have a long-standing friendship with Foster and McPhee; Foster reportedly helped the couple find their Canadian rental home in 2019. McPhee has previously described Foster’s relationship with Prince Harry as “beautiful” and like that of a “father and son.”

For the event, Meghan wore a black gown by Canadian fashion label Greta Constantine and accessorized with Princess Diana’s diamond-and-sapphire earrings. Prince Harry wore a classic black tuxedo. Meghan also shared a selfie with Prince Harry from the event on her Instagram, along with other glimpses of their Canadian trip, including a video of them greeting bagpipe players. The gala was part of a weekend of celebrations for the David Foster Foundation, which also included a free public concert on Saturday, August 8, in Victoria’s Inner Harbour.
