Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Face Backlash Over Wildfire Visit and Meta Criticism
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are facing significant backlash after their actions during the recent Los Angeles wildfires.
The couple drew criticism after being photographed embracing victims and assisting volunteers at the Pasadena Community Center. Some observers accused the Sussexes of turning the visit into a "publicity stunt," with actress Justine Bateman labeling it a "distasteful photo op" and dubbing them "disaster tourists."
The wildfires, which have caused devastation near Harry and Meghan’s Montecito neighborhood, also led to Meghan postponing the premiere of her Netflix series *With Love, Meghan*. Critics were quick to label the delay as "attention-seeking."
The controversy deepened when the couple issued a strong statement on their website, condemning Meta for relaxing its content moderation policies and ending third-party fact-checking. They accused the platform of enabling online abuse and hate speech, a move that sparked further debate across social media.
