The royal's latest red carpet moment comes just as her husband Prince Harry made his own separate appearance in New York City.

Harry attended The New York Times Dealbook Summit 2024 on December 4, where he commented on rumours that the pair are on the brink of divorce.

Speaking on stage to DealBook founder Andrew Ross Sorkin, the Duke of Sussex addressed the pair's separate public appearances being the topic of headlines.

"Apparently we've bought or moved house 10, 12 times. We've apparently divorced maybe 10, 12 times as well. So it's just like, what?'," he said at one point.

"It's hard to keep up with, but that's why you just sort of ignore it.

"The people I feel most sorry about are the trolls. Their hopes are just built and built, and it's like, 'Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,' and then it doesn't happen. So I feel sorry for them. Genuinely, I do."
