The Gracie Awards have removed Meghan Markle's name from the list of winners for the 48th annual awards ceremony. This is in response to the recent car chase incident involving Markle and her husband, Prince Harry. In a statement, the Gracie Awards said that they "cannot in good conscience award an individual who has been found to have misled the public about such a serious issue."
The car chase incident occurred on February 20, 2023, in New York City. Markle and Harry claimed that they were being chased by paparazzi, but video footage of the incident showed that they were not being chased. Instead, they were driving erratically and blocking traffic.
The Gracie Awards are presented by the Alliance for Women in Media, and they honor outstanding achievement by women in the media industry. The awards are named after Gracie Allen, a pioneering comedian and actress.
The decision to remove Markle's name from the list of winners has been met with mixed reactions. Some people have praised the Gracie Awards for taking a stand against misleading behavior, while others have criticized the decision as being unfair.
It is still unclear whether Markle will be able to attend the Gracie Awards ceremony, which is scheduled to take place on June 25, 2023. However, it is clear that the car chase incident has had a significant impact on her reputation.
