Prince Harry and Meghan Markle make surprise appearance in LA to meet wildfire victims & donate toys as 200k evacuated
PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle made a surprise appearance in Los Angeles to meet the victims of the devasting wildfires.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also served food and donated toys to the victims outside the World Central Kitchen in Pasadena.
It comes after Harry and Meghan, who live some 90 miles away from the chaos, broke their silence on the “apocalyptic” wildfires that have ripped through multiple mansions in Los Angeles.
They said on their website: “In the last few days, wildfires in southern California have raged through neighbourhoods and devastated families, homes, schools, medical care centres, and so much more – affecting tens of thousands from all walks of life.”
The Sussexes added: “If a friend, loved one, or pet has to evacuate, and you can offer them a safe haven in your home, please do.”
Harry and Meghan’s 16-bedroom mansion, which also boasts a two-bedroom guest house, experienced a power cut during the wildfires.
It is believed Harry and Meghan contributed clothing, children’s items, and other essential supplies.
The Sussexes also invited into their home friends and loved ones who had been forced to evacuate, it is understood.
WORST FIRE IN LA’S HISTORY
Raging wildfires have through Los Angeles – killing ten people and destroying 10,000 homes.
Out-of-control flames have been tearing through neighborhoods for days as fierce winds threaten to fuel the towering infernos.
Palisades – the largest fire of all seven currently burning – has destroyed more than 5,000 homes and structures in its path.
A bushfire is said to have started the wildfire in the Palisades on Tuesday, which had grown to more than 15,000 acres by the next morning.
