It is not currently known if Meghan and Harry will attend the TIME100 Gala, which will take place the following day on April 24.

The gala will be hosted by Snoop Dogg, who is also one of this year's cover stars.

TIME Studios and ABC will air footage from inside the gala, titled "TIME100: The World's Most Influential People," on Sunday, May 4.

The prestigious magazine has also revealed its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world for 2025, with five different personalities gracing the worldwide covers.

Serena Williams, former tennis player and entrepreneur, is among those featured on the covers, alongside actor and producer Demi Moore, artist Snoop Dogg, singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, and Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis.

Meghan's invitation to speak positions her among what TIME describes as the "world's most influential people" despite her absence from this year's cover selections.

The Duchess of Sussex along with her husband, Prince Harry, were previously included on the front cover of Time Magazine in 2021.
