Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Join Efforts to Support LA Wildfire Victims
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a heartfelt appearance at a food bank program in Los Angeles, offering their support to the victims of the ongoing wildfires.
The couple, who reside in Montecito, made a surprise visit to the World Central Kitchen in Pasadena on Friday, where they assisted the charity working to aid those affected by the Eaton Fire.
In a video released by KCAL News, Meghan was seen sharing an emotional moment with a wildfire survivor. The Duchess, visibly moved, hugged and comforted the woman, who was clearly overwhelmed by the devastation.
Harry and Meghan were also spotted actively helping at the Pasadena Convention Center, where they worked alongside volunteers to support the community in need.
This gesture follows an emotional message the couple posted on their official website, Sussex.com, where they expressed deep concern for the communities ravaged by the wildfires in Southern California.
“We are heartbroken for the families affected by these devastating fires,” Harry and Meghan wrote. They also urged people to offer assistance to the victims, encouraging donations to charitable organizations and extending their homes to those in need.
“If a friend, loved one, or pet has to evacuate and you are able to offer them a safe haven in your home, please do. And be sure to check in with any disabled or elderly neighbors to see if they need help evacuating,” the couple shared.
It's worth noting that although Harry and Meghan have been living in Montecito with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, they have not yet received any warnings about fire danger in their area.
