Meghan Markle recorded a new video, which she posted on Instagram. In it, she shared how she and her husband, Prince Harry, helped those affected by the wildfires in Los Angeles and thanked Billie Eilish for her help to a 15-year-old girl. This is reported by the People.
In the video, she appeared without makeup and a sweatshirt with the names of her children—Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet—written on it.
Meghan spoke about a 15-year-old girl who was very upset because a T-shirt she had brought back from a Billie Eilish concert had burned in her Los Angeles home.
“I don’t know Billie Eilish, but I’ll figure out how to get you that shirt. Please, can someone pass my request on to Billie Eilish? That’s what I’m asking,” Meghan said previously.
Through mutual acquaintances—including Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine and his wife, Behati Prinsloo—Meghan was able to secure some Billie Eilish merchandise as gifts.
In a video, Meghan Markle praised singer Billie Eilish for “coming to the rescue” after the devastating wildfires in L.A. and also thanked Adam Levine and his wife for introducing her to the singer.
According to The People, Harry and Meghan distributed food and essential supplies to those affected alongside the nonprofit organization World Central Kitchen.
They also spoke with victims and their families, expressing gratitude to firefighters and rescue workers for their efforts. A video of Harry and Meghan aired on FOX 11 Los Angeles YouTube channel.
The Duke and Duchess’s efforts were highly praised by Pasadena Mayor Victor Gordo. He stated that their participation boosted the morale of both the rescue workers and the victims.
Gordo also emphasized that Harry and Meghan tried not to draw too much attention to themselves, distributing food while wearing masks and focusing on helping people.
Despite this, the couple faced accusations of exploiting the tragedy for publicity. On the internet, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are being called “Disaster Tourist” amid California wildfires.
Under the Fox 11 Los Angeles YouTube video, some commenters suggested that Markle and her husband could not pass up another opportunity for self-promotion: “The Queen of drama has arrived,” “She’s trying to boost ratings for her upcoming Netflix show,” “Hello, peasants, here’s a hug,” and “Meanwhile, Taylor Swift donated $10 million.”
Even more negativity was directed at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on X (formerly Twitter): “Grief Grifters Prince Harry & Meghan Markle SOLD their photos to multiple media outlets including TMZ,” “Will Harry & Meghan be donating the money they have made off these photos to the victims?”
However, supporters of the Duke and Duchess defended them, pointing out that the amount they may have donated remains unknown. Additionally, Meghan and Harry provide tangible help in other ways—for example, they opened their Montecito home to evacuees.
Insiders previously commented on the rumors of a possible divorce of the couple, stating that Meghan and Harry will not divorce because it is “beneficial for them to stay together.”
