# David Foster denies ‘snubbing’ Meghan Markle, Prince Harry 2026-08-13T03:14:11+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Music producer David Foster has rejected claims that he snubbed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry at a red carpet event for his charity foundation in Canada. Foster told People magazine he greeted the couple privately 10 minutes before the cameras started rolling and called the viral video a 'hurtful lie' created by media seeking clickbait. The couple posed together with Foster and his wife Katharine McPhee and shared a laugh. The 76-year-old producer, who lent the couple his Vancouver Island mansion in 2020, said Harry and Meghan are dear friends. McPhee has described the bond between her husband and Prince Harry as 'father-and-son-like'. The event marked 40 years of Foster's foundation supporting families needing life-saving transplants. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: charity event, David Foster, Entertainment News, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, red carpet Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/david-foster-denies-snubbing-meghan-markle-prince-harry/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
