Meghan Markle suffered an incredibly awkward moment on her "mom's night out" during the week, with the actress-turned-Duchess recovering quickly and proving she is effortlessly gracious.

While posing up a storm on the red carpet for the paparazzi and photographers that stood before her, Meghan was interrupted by an assistant who walked over to her mid-pose. But ever the professional, Meghan gently brushed the assistant aside before she continued to pose for the photographers and beam for the cameras.

It is thought that the assistant was trying to move Meghan along after she posed for the cameras, with Meghan keen to continue posing.

The clip of the exchange has circulated social media, with fans and critics quick to weigh in on the moment. "Yikes," one person penned on X, formerly known as Twitter. While another added: "I have secondhand embarrassment, again. Cringey."

Meghan looked sensational at the gala, with the Montecito-based Duchess donning a beige-hued gown. She wore her hair tied up and off of her face, with a minimal yet incredibly chic makeup look accentuating her natural beauty.

While at the event, Meghan teased some exciting projects that she and her husband Harry have in the pipeline amid their £80million ($100million) Netflix deal.

"We have so many exciting things on the slate," she gushed to a reporter. "I can't wait until we can announce them, but I'm just really proud of what we're creating," she revealed before heading inside for the gala.

Meghan then seemingly hinted at how she's happy to be back in the public eye when she said: "I think the more we support each other it just amplifies the work, amplifies our community and I’m just thrilled to be back in it and to be able to sit in this room and be in such good company tonight."

Meghan also hinted at how her doting husband Harry is feeling about their partnership with Netflix when she said: "My husband is loving it too which is really fun."
