David Foster<\/strong><\/a> is setting the record straight about viral rumors that he snubbed Meghan Markle<\/strong><\/a> at his charity gala over the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the host of the David Foster and Friends foundation event, I had already greeted our friends, the Duke and Duchess, at the entrance 10 minutes before the red carpet encounter,\u201d Foster, 76, told People<\/em><\/a> on Wednesday, August 12. \u201cThey both, graciously and selflessly, gave their time and went beyond to engage with everyone. Harry and Meghan are dear friends of mine. Anyone watching can see there was no awkward moment and certainly no snub.\u201d<\/p>\n

He went on, \u201cIt\u2019s sad that certain media chose to deceive a red carpet encounter for clickbait. They turned simple \u2018positioning\u2019 to get the best photo into a hurtful lie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Foster spoke out following a social media discourse about an interaction between himself and Meghan, 45, at the 40th anniversary gala for his David Foster Foundation on Friday, August 8. In a video clip<\/a> circulated online, Foster appears to walk right past Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry<\/strong>, on the red carpet without acknowledging them.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tMeghan Markle wears plenty of high-end items, but her knit sweaters take rich mom to a whole new level. The only downside? Her exact designs tend to cost between $300-$1,000 (if not more), which isn\u2019t exactly ideal. Still, we had to get the look; in the process, we discovered 13 sweaters that channel her exact [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Foster and his wife, Katharine McPhee,<\/strong> returned to the royal couple a few moments later to take pictures with them.<\/p>\n

Meghan previously shared a behind-the-scenes look<\/a> at her and Harry\u2019s date night at the charity gala over the weekend in Vancouver, British Columbia. In addition to posing for a selfie, Meghan and Harry, 41, also posted a sweet video of themselves greeting members of a bagpipe and drum band backstage.<\/p>\n

The duo were among numerous A-list guests at the David Foster Foundation 40th anniversary gala, along with Bill Gates<\/strong>, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine<\/strong> and Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger<\/strong>, among others. The Times Colonist<\/em> reported that the fundraiser earned more than $14.5 million in donations after four separate people made $1 million pledges.<\/p>\n

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been longtime friends of both Foster and his wife, McPhee, 42, as they have supported each other at various events over the years. Meghan and McPhee also attended the same high school.<\/p>\n
