Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited the World Central Kitchen in Pasadena, California, to help distribute food and supplies to victims of the California wildfires.
On January 10, the couple were pictured on site, thanking first responders including Los Angeles County firefighters and police, and were pictured with the Pasadena Mayor, Victor Gordo.
The Mayor told Fox 11 News: “It’s great people, great personalities and great heart for them to come out here and meet with the first responders, meet with the people who were affected. It’s very important.”
He added that Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, “really buoyed the spirits of the first responders”.
The wildfires in Southern California, have tragically claimed the lives of eleven people. Law enforcement officials expect the death toll to rise once weather and fire conditions allow dogs and detectives into the burn zones.
Harry and Meghan previously issued a statement and urgent plea for help on their website: “In the last few days, wildfires in Southern California have raged through neighborhoods and devastated families, homes, schools, medical care centers, and so much more – affecting tens of thousands from all walks of life.”
The couple, who live in Montecito, California, also posted a series of links on their Sussex.com website to various charities people can help with, and urged people to “open their homes” to those evacuated.
