## Interview Excerpt
**Host:** Welcome back to the show. Joining us today is royal commentator Lady Penelope Worthington to discuss the latest news surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Meghan Markle was recently spotted hosting a Thanksgiving dinner for Afghan women, her first public appearance since rumors of a professional separation from Prince Harry began circulating. Lady Worthington, what are your thoughts on this seemingly independent move by the Duchess?
**Lady Worthington:** Well, it certainly is an interesting development. While the Sussexes have always presented a united front, this dinner for Afghan women, while undoubtedly commendable, does seem to signal a shift in their dynamic. Meghan’s choice to host this event solo, especially amidst these separation rumors [[1](https://www.hola.com/us/royals/20241127732717/meghan-markle-thanksgiving-always-pretty-low-key-holidays-kids-experience-magic-traditions/)], is certainly raising eyebrows and prompting much speculation. It suggests a desire for Meghan to forge her own path, separate from Harry, at least professionally.
**Host:** Do you think this dinner signifies a more permanent split in their professional endeavors?
**Lady Worthington:** It’s too early to say definitively. This could simply be a sign of the couple evolving and pursuing their own interests. Remember, they’ve always been passionate individuals with a desire to make a difference. Perhaps this is simply a new chapter in their journey.
**Host:** Meghan has described her holiday celebrations as “always pretty low-key” [[1](https://www.hola.com/us/royals/20241127732717/meghan-markle-thanksgiving-always-pretty-low-key-holidays-kids-experience-magic-traditions/)]. Do you think this solo appearance could suggest a change in that approach?
**Lady Worthington:** It’s possible. This Thanksgiving event certainly felt different than their past celebrations, which often involved both Harry and Meghan. The absence of Harry at this particular event, combined with the rumors of a professional split, does suggest that their family traditions may also be undergoing some adjustments.
**Host:** Thank you for sharing your insights, Lady Worthington. This certainly is a story to watch as it unfolds.
