Meghan Markle and Prince Harry make speech at glitzy exhibition featuring black art and history
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made a speech during an exhibition about black art and history.
The couple were pictured at the Kinsey African American Art and History Collection’s event on Thursday evening
In an Instagram video from the event by screenwriter Matheos Coelho, the Duchess of Sussex said: “I thought oh my gosh, the extension of that can mean you’re vocal about your success, they’ll see you and say you deserved it.
And hopefully you get to that place… so a huge thanks to the Kinsey family of course for not just having this incredible…”
TV personality, Shaun Robinson, thanked Meghan and Harry for their support at the event by sharing an image of the couple on social media.
She posted: “Thank you Duke & Duchess of Sussex and @thearchewellorganization for supporting the @kinseycollection.”
Meghan wore a Carolina Herrera floral-patterned cape worth £4,800 with flowing black trousers and pumps.
Meanwhile, Harry, 39, wore a smart, navy suit with an open-neck shirt and patent black shoes.
The event was held at SoFi Stadium which is close to the couple’s Montecito mansion where they live with their two children.
The Kinsey Collection “assists academic and cultural institutions with increasing public awareness about African American history and culture.”
The pair behind the collection, Bernard and Shirley Kinsey, have been working for five decades on the world’s largest collection of black art.
One of the items in the collection is a letter from human rights activist Malcolm X to author Alex Haley from 1963.
