Duchess Meghan: award ceremony due to the protests

On Saturday, June 14th, Duchess Meghan (43) should actually be recognized for their work for the benefit of women at the “Night of Wonder” gala of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. But nothing becomes of it at first. Because the event is postponed due to the protests in the city.

“As an institution ‘of, for and with Los Angeles’, our responsibility is clear in difficult times: We want to serve as a community resource that focuses on healing and unity, not on celebration,” emphasized Dr. Lori Bettison-Varga, President and director of the museum in a statement. “Los Angeles needs our energy to support our neighbors and demonstrate the values ​​that make our city and our district strong.”

In the city there are massive protests against the migration policy of US President Donald Trump (78). Against the will of the democratic governor there, Trump sent the National Guard into the city. On June 10th, Mayor Karen Bass imposed a nightly lock for the city center.

Prince Harry’s wife (40) should be honored for her charitable commitment during the gala. In an earlier message, the museum had declared that it was “proud” to distinguish Duchess Meghan, who was born in Los Angeles. Your “work to promote the well -being of the community and to expand the opportunities – in particular for under -provoked communities” agree with the approach of the establishment of the next generation based on equality.

Duchess Meghan was originally supposed to give a speech on June 14th. In addition, other guests from cultural and philanthropic circles from Los Angeles were expected. The gala would be aligned for a later, not yet named time, it said.
