while Megan Markle was busy making a scene at a local bookstore with Oprah talk about reaching for the stars there was another event happening that had the glitterati buzzing the third annual caring for women dinner hosted by the caring foundation and guess what Megan wasn't on the guest list the event held at the pool in Midtown Manhattan was the epitome of higher Society glamour co-chaired by heavyweights like Salma haak Pinel franois Henry pinnel Kim Kardashian donala bace and Naomi Watts the evening aimed to support Charities dedicated to ending violence against women and girls it raised a staggering $3 million are some that frankly Megan may have struggled to assemble considering her current status Gail King the knight's master of ceremony set the tone comparing it to the Met Gala for social causes and it's no wonder that stars like Leo DiCaprio and a slew of aists including Viola Davis Dakota Johnson and Carrie Washington graced the occasion the dinner was the definition of star studed with names that scream high profile and high influence yet where was Megan marle oh that's right while the crema creme were mingling and raising Millions Megan was busy trying to make a splash at the bookstore event you'd think with all the talk about using fashion and high-profile appearances to raise funds for a foundation that Megan would have been a shoe in for an invite but no the invite must have gotten lost in the mail or perhaps it was never sent the event was a glittering Affair where the Power Players rubbed shoulders from Hollywood royalty to influential billionaires so what does it say when someone like Kim Kardashian known for her own brand of influence has more clout in Hollywood than Megan marle it's a sign that Megan star might be dimming say what you will about the C Jenners but they know how to play the game they understand the importance of media presence and the need to bounce back from missteps lessons Megan could certainly benefit from speaking of missteps let's talk about the other notable absence Oprah Winfrey Oprah's absence is telling after her Infamous PR blunders including her Maui fires Fiasco it's no wonder she's sticking to smaller more controlled events her presence would have likely stirred up more controversy than Goodwill and honestly after her past the fact that she's now reduced to hosting Bookshop openings speaks volumes about her current standing but let's focus on Megan the fact that not even a friend prianka choa Jonas could secure her an invite to this prestigious event speaks volumes Megan and Harry have become social priers struggling to gain entry to the elite circles they once thought were their domain from high-profile garas to local bookstore openings the STK contrast in Megan's event attendance is almost tragicomic it seems the harles have failed to anti up when it comes to the big ticket fundraising events the true alist crowd understands how these events work paying thousands for a seat making substantial donations and bringing serious clout Megan and Harry on the other hand seem to prefer showing up as guests rather than making significant contributions the top tier crowd has figured them out and it's not pretty so while Megan and opro were left out of this glittering Suare it's a clear sign that their influence might be waning the real high rollers of Hollywood are moving on and it seems that Megan for all of a grand Ambitions might just be stuck in the background watching from the sidelines as others take Center Stage
