The fires of Los Angeles are the most publicized disaster of the beginning of the year. Thousands of hectares have indeed gone up in smoke. These mega fires forced tens of thousands of people to leave their homes as a precaution. Among these inhabitants caught by the speed of the flames notably featured the famous royal couple formed by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The son of King Charles III and his wife actually live near Montecito since their departure from England. A carefully considered choice on the part of the couple, who could no longer bear living in the too-tight confines of British royalty. Very attached to their new life on the west side of the United States, they wanted to lend a hand to the volunteers to help the victims.
Prince Harry and Meghan at the bedside of the victims
We were able to see Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle near Pasadena. A city adjacent to Los Angeles owhere many disaster victims have taken refuge to try to escape the flames. Their presence was obviously widely commented on on social networks. It is indeed quite rare to see personalities of such standing put oneself at the service of the population. Victor Gordo, the mayor of Pasadena, was particularly complimentary of them.
“They are great people, great personalities with big hearts who came here to meet with first responders and meet those affected. This is very important. They boosted the morale of the first responders. They want to be as helpful as possible […]. They are just very caring people. who care about their friends and neighbors.”
The couple strongly criticized
This decision by the royal couple to help the victims of Pasadena has, however, encountered some detractors. As always, it's difficult to please everyone. Some saw it as a gesture of political recovery, thus removing all humanity from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. This is particularly the case of the actress Justine Bateman qHe became known in particular for his role in Family Ties.
She did not mince her words when commenting on the royal couple's move on her X account. « Meghan Markle et Harry nThey are no better than ambulance chasers. What a disgusting “photoshoot” they did. They are “surveying the damage”? Are they now politicians? They don't live here, they are tourists. Disaster tourists ». Hoping that the firefighters will be able to put out these fires as quickly as possible.
