Meghan Markle shines in gold alongside her mom and Prince Harry to accept award in NYC

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made their way to New York City for a special event.

Prince Harry and the former Meghan Markle attended the Ms. Foundation Women of Vision Awards: Celebrating Generations of Progress & Power at Ziegfeld Ballroom on May 16.

The royals, along with Meghan's mom, Doria Ragland, were first spotted entering through a Hertz car rental location before making their way inside the venue, which was adjacent to the rental location.

Meghan was one of six people who were recognized at this year’s Women of Vision Awards.

According to the organization’s website, the duchess was honored for championing human rights and gender equity as well as being an advocate for women and girls through her humanitarian and business ventures.

The event was held on Tuesday, a little more than a week after Prince Harry attended his father King Charles III's coronation on May 6.

The prince went to London while his wife stayed at home in California with their children, Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 1. Harry arrived solo at Westminster Abbey and left following the ceremony.

The coronation day also happened to be Archie’s fourth birthday.

King Charles and Camilla, the queen consort, later gathered on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, with Harry nowhere in sight. A source familiar with the coronation planning told NBC News that Harry was not invited to join the royal family on the balcony following the coronation.

Buckingham Palace declined to comment.

Harry and Meghan announced they would be stepping down as senior members of the royal family in 2020. They left London and moved to California. There has been a royal rift ever since, especially with the couple's bombshell sit-down with Oprah Winfrey, their Netflix docuseries, and Harry’s explosive memoir, “Spare,” released this year.
