AceShowbiz - Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are actively helping those impacted by the deadly wildfires ravaging Southern California. On Friday, January 10, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex was seen visiting the World Central Kitchen in Pasadena, California, to distribute food and supplies to victims of the Eaton Fire.
They have been discreetly supporting wildfire relief efforts while witnessing the harrowing stories and strong community spirit. The couple donated essential supplies, served meals with World Central Kitchen, and connected with affected families and elderly individuals. In their official website, they thanked first responders, including L.A. County firefighters and police.
Earlier in the week, Meghan and Harry delivered food "anonymously" to displaced families. "No one knew they were serving food with masks," Pasadena Mayor Victor Gordo said, explaining that the couple wanted to work and avoid publicity. They visited families in the impacted areas and met with first responders to personally express their gratitude.
Through their Archewell Foundation, the couple has contributed monetary donations and plans to continue supporting recovery and rebuilding efforts. They have also opened their Montecito, California, home to evacuees.
In a statement, Meghan and Harry described the destruction as catastrophic and encouraged personal acts of generosity, such as housing evacuees, checking on neighbors, and donating essentials. They highlighted organizations actively aiding victims, including World Central Kitchen, Animal Wellness Foundation, Compton Cowboys, Baby2Baby, and Airbnb.
