Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, attended a Thursday night event in Beverly Hills for the Alliance for Children's Rights, standing by her close friend Kelly McKee Zafjen. Markle was seen in a strapless navy Ralph Lauren gown, accessorized with Chanel earrings and gold bracelets.
This event celebrated Zafjen's extensive work with the Alliance for Moms, an organization she co-founded in 2014. The Alliance for Moms supports pregnant and parenting teens within the foster care system, assisting the Alliance for Children's Rights. Meghan presented an award to Zafjen, acknowledging their nearly 20-year friendship and shared commitment to philanthropy.
The gathering also served as a tribute to Zafjen's late son, George, who tragically passed away at age nine from Covid-19 and viral meningitis. Meghan had previously supported Zafjen's fundraising efforts in October 2025 for the Alliance for Children's Rights. Prince Harry had joined her at a tennis tournament named in George's honor.
Zafjen expressed deep gratitude for Meghan's unwavering support, sharing that Meghan has been a constant presence, particularly since George's passing. Zafjen, who is expecting a baby boy this spring, reflected on finding joy amidst grief, highlighting the enduring nature of hope and love.
