The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a surprise visit to a meal distribution center set up for people affected by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. The royal couple was spotted at the Pasadena Convention Center, which has been repurposed as an evacuation site.
During their visit, Prince Harry and Meghan spoke with World Central Kitchen (WCK) founder José Andrés, volunteers, first responders, and victims. WCK, a longstanding partner of their Archewell Foundation, has been providing free meals to emergency crews and those impacted by the wildfires.
Pasadena Mayor Victor Gordo praised the couple, describing them as 'great people' who boosted spirits at the center. The Duke and Duchess quietly served food earlier in the day, wearing face masks to remain unrecognized.
The royal couple's visit included meeting families in impacted areas, visiting first responders to express gratitude for their efforts, and offering support to the community. They have donated clothing, children's items, and essential supplies, and opened their home to evacuees.
As wildfires continue to affect over 100,000 residents with evacuation orders in place, Prince Harry and Meghan emphasized the importance of offering safe havens to those in need. They shared resources for fire service charities, temporary housing initiatives, and encouraged donations to support those who have lost everything.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, now residing in Montecito, have shown their commitment to assisting wildfire victims and rallying support for the affected communities.
