Meghan Markle cancels Jimmy Fallon appearance and trip to NYC for UN General Assembly

 

Meghan Markle has canceled several planned appearances in New York that had been set for the day after Queen Elizabeth's likely funeral date, as the Royal Family enters the official morning for the monarch. The Duchess of Sussex had been scheduled to appear on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on September 20, the same day she and Prince Harry planned to visit the UN General Assembly in Manhattan. Both appearances have now been nixed, and Markle plans to delay releasing the next episode of her podcast Archetypes, which had been set for release next Tuesday on Spotify, sources told Page Six on Friday. 

By happenstance, the Queen's death on Thursday came as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were in the midst of an European tour on a public relations blitz.  Now, their plans have understandably been put on hold as they mourn leading up to and following the Queen's state funeral.

The funeral is expected to be scheduled for September 19 at Westminster Abbey in London, but the official date has not yet been announced.

It's unclear whether Markle has already booked another date to appear on The Tonight Show. 

'I don't even know what she was going to talk about [with Fallon], but that's obviously canceled now,' one source told Page Six.
