Meghan Markle has more solo appearances ahead.

The Duchess of Sussex released a statement over the weekend about the Thanksgiving dinner she hosted last month without her husband, Prince Harry.

“This initiative, led by the partner organization Mina’s List, has spent the past year building community through storytelling and creating a safe space for women who have resettled in the US from Afghanistan,” read a post on the nonprofit organization’s website.

Markle, 43, “expressed .. deep appreciation to the attendees for sharing their personal stories and experiences” during the “shared meal that encouraged open conversation centered on gratitude and resilience.”

This underscored her “excitement for future gatherings that continue to strengthen these connections.”

Archewell noted that participants received “new cookware for the upcoming holiday season.”

The statement concluded, “Through her work with The Archewell Foundation, The Duchess remains committed to uplifting women and fostering community through shared experiences, reinforcing the importance of unity and support during challenging times.”

The event marked one of many recent appearances by the “Suits” alum sans Harry.

Markle was filmed dancing with friends at a haircare line launch in Los Angeles earlier this month and walked the Children’s Hospital LA Gala red carpet by herself in October.

Harry, who has been doing the same, sent invitations last Wednesday for a solo Christmas charity event with Scotty’s Little Soldiers.

The couple has been married since May 2018, with the former actress sharing their “low-key” Thanksgiving traditions during an interview with Marie Claire at her Thanksgiving event.

“Like any other family you spend time having a great meal and then what do you do? Play games, all the same stuff, someone brings a guitar — fun,” she said. “Every single holiday is a new adventure.”

Markle added that she loves “being so close” to her mom, Doria Ragland, while living in Montecito, Calif.

The “Deal or No Deal” alum and Harry, 40, share two children: son Prince Archie, 5, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 3.
