AceShowbiz - This past weekend, Prince Harry attended a benefit concert at The Granada Theatre in Santa Barbara, California. The sold-out event was organized by the nonprofit One805, which aims to support first responders in Santa Barbara County.

Throughout the evening, Prince Harry engaged with first responders from various police and fire departments, acknowledging their relentless efforts during the devastating wildfires that swept through Los Angeles and Santa Barbara earlier this year.

The firestorm, which began on January 7 and wasn't contained until January 31, resulted in the loss of at least 29 lives, tens of thousands of evacuations, and the destruction of thousands of structures.

Performances by Hootie & the Blowfish, Kenny Loggins, and Macy Gray highlighted the concert. The event also featured an auction where a guitar signed by Prince Harry and the musicians sold for $9,000 (£6,900) to benefit Musi-Cares, aiding musicians and the mental wellness of first responders.

Meghan Markle, who resides in the nearby community of Montecito with Prince Harry and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, didn't join him at the event.

She previously made a trip to World Kitchen Center in Pasadena with Harry to help and distribute supplies to Eaton Fire victims on the early day of the blazes but haters bashed and accused her of seeking attention.

Meghan also delayed her Netflix series "With Love, Meghan" out of respect for the wildfire devastation. The Duchess described the series as a "love letter to California," emphasizing her commitment to aiding recovery efforts.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are well known for their charity works through their foundation Archewell. Since 2021, Harry has served as Chief Impact Officer for BetterUp, a coaching and mental health platform.

Harry and Meghan have previously participated in fundraisers for One805, including the One805LIVE! Concert hosted by Kevin Costner in September 2024, where Harry honored a local pilot.

In addition to providing immediate relief, the Sussexes opened their Montecito home to evacuees, and Meghan sent gifts to young wildfire victims, demonstrating their continuous support for those affected. Their hands-on approach and charitable contributions reflect their dedication to the community they now call home.

Amid their philanthropic endeavors, Meghan celebrated the release of her Netflix series, which has been renewed for a second season. The series explores her lifestyle brand "As Ever," a passion project that blends creativity with business acumen.

Prince Harry's presence at the benefit concert further solidifies his and Meghan's unwavering commitment to the well-being of their community. Through their various initiatives, the couple continues to bring attention and resources to those in need.
