Meghan Markle and Prince Harry put on a united display at the Ripple of Hope Award Gala after the bombshell trailer of their upcoming Netflix documentary was released.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were honored at the prestigious ceremony, and held hands as they arrived on the red carpet for the exclusive bash.
Smiling widely for the cameras, Meghan looked sensational in a white, off-the-shoulder gown, paired with black heels and minimal jewelry.
Meanwhile Harry opted for a smart black blazer and trousers, coupled with a white shirt and navy tie.
They were joined on the night by Alec Baldwin – who was hosting proceedings – as well as Gayle King, Keegan-Michael Key, Don Lemon and the Kennedy family.
This marked the couple’s first appearance following the second teaser for their controversial Netflix series, ahead of volume one dropping on Thursday.

The six-part special will show Meghan and Harry offering their side of the story after their controversial exit from the Royal family in 2020 and their subsequent move to the US.
In the latest teaser, the former Suits actress’ rise to popularity was unpacked after her engagement to Harry was announced, as well as the sudden change in public opinion.
‘I realized, “They’re never gonna protect you,”’ she cryptically told the camera.

‘Across six episodes, the series explores the clandestine days of their early courtship and the challenges that led to them feeling forced to step back from their full-time roles in the institution.
‘With commentary from friends and family, most of whom have never spoken publicly before about what they witnessed, and historians who discuss the state of the British Commonwealth today and the royal family’s relationship with the press, the series does more than illuminate one couple’s love story, it paints a picture of our world and how we treat each other.

‘From the critically-acclaimed, two-time Academy Award-nominated and Emmy-winning director Liz Garbus, Harry & Meghan is a never-before-seen look at one of the most-discussed couples in history.’
Unsurprisingly, the first glimpse at the series hasn’t gone down too well with some – Piers Morgan described it as ‘vomit-inducing’.
Harry & Meghan volume one lands on Netflix on Thursday.
