Fans Praise Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's 'Act of Kindness' Amid LA Fires: 'Princess Diana Is Smiling'

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are just some of the many celebrities lending a helping hand amid the devastating fires in Los Angeles.

The royals were spotted on Jan. 10 volunteering and visiting with members of the community who were affected by the Eaton fire, which has destroyed over 14,000 acres in Southern California and, as of the morning of Jan. 11, had only been 15% contained according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

A video of the couple showing their support at the Pasadena Convention Center, one of the places where Chef Jose Andrés’ World Central Kitchen has been providing meals to evacuees, made the rounds on social media, prompting fans to respond.

“Princess Diana would have absolutely loved her daughter in law 😍,” wrote one on Instagram, while another agreed, commenting, “Princess Diana is smiling.”

Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana, is celebrated to this day for her charitable works across the world.

While some commenters accused the royals of showing up to gain publicity, writing that they “Made sure the cameras were rolling,” others disagreed. “Did people forget she’s from Los Angeles? Why so much hate,” wrote one commenter.

“I’m sure people will criticize Harry and Meghan. However, reaching out to the people who loss everything from the fires was an act of kindness. 🙏❤️,” said another.

On Jan. 9, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s website shared ideas on how to help those impacted by the California wildfires. “If a friend, loved one, or pet has to evacuate and you are able to offer them a safe haven in your home, please do,” the post urged. “And be sure to check in with any disabled or elderly neighbors to see if they need help evacuating.” 

The two have reportedly opened up their Montecito, Calif. home to loved ones who had to evacuate their homes amid the fires.

The post also gave information on charitable organizations that are on the ground helping evacuees, like Chef Jose Andrés’ World Central Kitchen.

Andrés’ organization has been on-site in Southern California helping to feed first responders and victims amid the destruction. In a Jan. 10 interview with MSNBC, he said “in the worst moments of humanity, the best of humanity shows up,” detailing how local restaurants and volunteers stepped up to help humanitarian efforts in the area.
