Meghan Markle is set to be the highlight of the Natural History Museum’s Night of Wonder gala, where she will be recognized for her community-focused efforts.
According to PEOPLE, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, will receive this honor at the event hosted by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHMLAC) on June 14.
Interestingly, this date coincides with Trooping the Colour in the UK — the traditional military parade celebrating King Charles’ official birthday. Several senior royals are expected to attend that event in London.

These causes closely reflect the museum’s mission to make science, nature, and education accessible to everyone.

The evening will feature immersive displays, live music, and a garden dining experience.
Guests will include prominent figures from Los Angeles’ cultural, scientific, and philanthropic circles.
