MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: Clips of a Prince Harry lookalike became the topic of conversation for many eagle-eyed viewers of the big fashion event, the Met Gala.

However, the probability of spotting the Duke of Sussex at the star-studded event might have been close to zero because he is currently attending the Invictus Games in the UK, which he co-founded in 2014.

Recently, a 2019 interview with the lead chairperson of the Gala, Anna Wintour resurfaced in which she stated that she would love to have Harry's wife, Meghan Markle at the Met Gala. However, she would like the Duchess of Sussex to leave Harry at home.
