George and Amal Clooney at an event
Hollywood power couple, George and Amal Clooney, added a touch of glamour to a Buckingham Palace dinner party, showcasing their close ties to the British Royal Family. Amal, a renowned human rights lawyer, captivated onlookers in a flowing white gown designed by Stella McCartney. She and George, a celebrated actor and filmmaker, shared lighthearted moments with Prince Charles during the Prince’s Trust charity dinner.
The Clooneys, who have established a residence in the UK, have developed a close relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, attending their fairytale wedding in 2018. Amal has become a source of support and guidance for Meghan, a soon-to-be mother, even co-hosting her star-studded baby shower in New York City alongside tennis icon Serena Williams.
Both Amal and Meghan are making significant contributions on the global stage. Meghan, a vocal advocate for female empowerment, eloquently addressed the issue on International Women’s Day, stating, “If things are wrong and there is a lack of justice and there’s an inequality and someone needs to say something and why not me?”
George Clooney has also demonstrated his support for Meghan, criticizing the media’s relentless scrutiny of the Duchess of Sussex. He expressed concern over the intense pressure she faces, stating, “She’s a woman who’s seven months pregnant who’s being pursued and vilified and chased in the same way Diana was.”
Despite the negativity, Meghan remains resilient, emphasizing the power of choice in media consumption. “You make a choice in what we click on, we make a choice in what we read, we make a choice in what we engage in,” she asserted.
The Clooney-Markle friendship exemplifies a new era of celebrity alliances, one marked by shared values and mutual support.
