Meghan Markle Makes Surprise Appearance at Children’s Hospital L.A. Gala

TLDR:

* The Duchess of Sussex, 43, was an unexpected, but incredibly glamorous guest at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles 2024 Gala on Saturday, Oct. 5.
* Meghan paid a surprise visit to the event, which takes place every two years and pays tribute to CHLA’s patients and hospital pediatric workers, which include some of California’s best physicians, researchers and caregivers, according to the organization’s [website](https://www.chla.org/event/general-events/chla-2024-gala). 
* The Duchess looked stunning in a red Carolina Herrera gown (which she previously wore to the Salute to Freedom gala in New York in 2021) as she walked the red carpet.
