The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been helping with rescue efforts while the terrible wildfires in Southern California continue to burn. But their latest trip to see the victims of the Eaton Fire has caused a big argument online.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle went to the Pasadena Convention Centre on January 10, 2025. There, they met Mayor Victor Gordo and spent time with firefighters and fire victims. The royal couple helped people by giving them food and other necessities and talking about how to help communities heal from the fires and wildfires.
Some fans have said that Meghan’s choice of jewellery for the visit was wrong. People online are upset about the former actress’s choice to wear a Cartier bracelet to the event, which can be seen in a video. Some users have said they don’t like it, calling it rude and an attempt to get attention.
Even though there was criticism, some people praised the couple for their efforts. Some users have supported Meghan’s jewellery choice by saying it has nothing to do with the couple’s charity work. Others have praised the couple for drawing attention to how badly people need help and support during the crisis.
Some critics say the couple staged the visit to get more attention, and the discussion has spread beyond social media. The couple’s visit has been publicly criticised by filmmaker Justine Bateman, who called it a “photo op.”
However, the couple is helping with rescue efforts in more ways than one. In a formal statement, they talked about how bad the blaze damage was and how people could help. They recognised that there was an emergency and asked people to help groups that were providing direct aid.
The couple has also asked people to let friends, neighbours, and pets who have been forced to leave their homes because of the fires stay with them. They have asked people to donate clothes, toys, and other necessities, and they have teamed up with groups like the American Red Cross and Airbnb to provide temporary housing.
Because of the trouble, Meghan has decided to push back the premiere of her new Netflix show, “With Love, Meghan.” The show will now start on March 4, 2025. It will include honest talks and useful advice for making everyday life more beautiful.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s work to help with rescue efforts has brought even more attention to the problems that people in Southern California are still having. People are arguing about what they did, but it has also brought attention to how badly we need help and unity during this disaster.
