Gayle King looks gorgeous in a green gown at Misha Nonoo’s Rome wedding alongside pal Meghan Markle

Gayle King looked gorgeous in a green off-the-shoulder gown as she headed to Villa Aurelia to attend the high society wedding of designer Misha Nonoo and oil tycoon Mikey Hess in Rome on Friday.

The 64-year-old journalist – who’s on Weight Watchers – flaunted her statuesque 5ft10in figure in the ruched dress, which she paired with green cha cha heels and a rainbow-colored clutch.

Other A-list wedding guests included Paul McCartney and wife Nancy Shevell, Katy Perry and fiancé Orlando Bloom, James Corden and wife Julia Carey, the Kushner brothers and their wives Ivanka Trump and Karlie Kloss, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, Wendi Deng Murdoch, and Scooter Braun.  

But the most high profile guests at the lavish nuptials were Gayle’s close friends the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry Windsor and his Valentino-clad wife Meghan Markle.

Last month, King passionately defended the Royal couple’s use of polluting private jets as she has unrivaled access while making documentary about their four-month-old son, Archie.

‘Harry and Meghan are entitled to go on vacation. Elton John offered to fly them on his private plane to his private home,’ the Manhattan-based presenter told ET.

‘Elton John also said that he had paid the cost of the carbon footprint for whatever was taken up in that and so the fact that they are being hammered because they took a friend’s private plane who took care of all the costs is ridiculous to me.

‘Do you think any of the royals are flying commercial on a regular basis? I’ll go first. No. So why are Meghan and Harry being singled out? I just think people think that they are easy targets.’

Gail continued: ‘I think people don’t really appreciate and understand what the two of them have together. And I think, dare I say, that people are a little jealous out there and there are a lot of haters out there. 

‘But what I hope is that it doesn’t change them, because they are both trying to do good in the world, want to do good in the world and they are really good people.’ 

Harry and Meghan celebrated the Bahrain-born, London-raised 33-year-old bride’s special day because it was Misha who arranged their first blind date in London back in 2016.
