A Los Angeles vegan dinner party attended by Meghan Markle has been harshly branded as "tasteless" and "vulgar" by restaurant critic William Sitwell. 'A Seat At The Table' was hosted by Emma Grede, the British chief executive of fashion brand Good American and a founding partner of Kim Kardashian's Skims.
William writes in the Telegraph: "I think I may have witnessed the ghastliest, most grotesque, most vulgar, most shallow, most revolting, most tasteless, most vacuous and most vainglorious dinner party in history. In short, the worst."
Held at designer Kelly Wearstler's home, it featured a vegan banquet and As Ever wine supplied by the Duchess of Sussex herself.
He further adds: "Because splashed all over Instagram and the like was endless posing before, during and after Wednesday's party, in a circle of self-congratulatory, vain adoration. It was all about telling the world they were there, and you were not."
Emma, however, who was seen sitting next to Meghan, described those in attendance in a speech as the "most incredible group of women", adding that it was a "night built around connection... where women came together to share stories, exchange lessons, and lift each other higher".
