1. Did they bring their film crew with them?

I don’t know much about these two, but it seems they are thirsty for attention and trying to become… what.. some type of
Royality in US? I recalled they flew down to Uvalde, TX for a photo op.

We have our own leaders in California, don’t need these two grifters They need to go back to the UK, he’s a prince there…not here. Something odd about them.

2. Freedom

They are free to volunteer and console whomever they want. It's called freedom and they've earned it. Hard to under why so many love to hate on people who they've never met and have done nothing that has impacted their lives, because Murdoch's hate fueled tabloids told them to

[Bread and Circuses]

4. No.

Hi,

I don’t know why you would make a statement inferring that I hate anyone. My point is that this UK prince seems to be seeking lots of press coverage for doing what many people do….without issuing press releases. Many VIPs have donated and doing things to help victims.
It looks phony to me, and I can voice my opinion.

Hope you have a nice evening.

[tintinvotes]

6. Freedom

Your comment about someone you don't know that has never done anything that impacts your life seemed hateful and inspired by the hatred that was fueled by Murdoch's tabloids. It's my opinion which I am also entitled to. I will and am having a wonderful evening, because I don't spend time hating and critiquing people I claim to know nothing about for volunteering and consoling people.

[Bread and Circuses]

14. Yikes

No words.

[Boomerproud]

23. You're the one who called them grifters.

5. Ugh.

20. yeah, she sounds like a real live publicity hound

Meghan Markle traveled to Uvalde, Texas to pay tribute to the victims of the Uvalde school shooting in person. Meghan took the trip in a "personal capacity as a mother," according to a spokesperson for the Duchess of Sussex told Town & Country, to "offer her condolences and support in person to a community experiencing unimaginable grief."

The Duchess of Sussex made a low-key appearance, not announced in advance and accompanied by a single bodyguard. While in Uvalde, she chose not to speak with any press.

She also stopped by the community center, dropping off donations of food and beverages for blood drive donors.

"I had no idea who she was. She just was carrying on a conversation like her and I knew each other for years," volunteer Gloria Contreras told BuzzFeed News. "We were just talking about, you know, the situation and what happened what we were doing here. I told her about us giving out water to the people and and feeding them."

"She was just really sweet," another volunteer, Georjean Burnell, added. "She just kind of walked in with her crew and started putting ice waters in the bucket with us and laying out chips for the people who were needing snacks before and after donating."

Burnell continued, "It's funny, we didn't even know it was her until after she left and now we're so sad. I mean, to be honest, we thought she was our neighbor."

Princess Diana went through the Ultimate Worst.

[nini]

18. Aloha Cha!

She did indeed and it’s not hard to see that history is repeating itself. The royals and British press have succeeded in keeping all that going.

[Cha]

Thank Goodness for People like Harry & Meghan

9. Oh geeesh 🙄 nt

[tintinvotes]

10. Freedom

It's not Harry and Megan's fault the skanky tabloid press stalks them for photo ops.

[Cha]

13. Thank you!

[sheshe2]

29. Just like they did with Harry's mom.

Their insane stalking and harassment killed her. She never asked for the limelight anymore than Harry and Meghan have.

[muriel_volestrangler]

34. If they're being stalked, then shouldn't DU stop adding to it by having threads about them?

Leave them alone to live their lives, not post updates on where they are today.

12. From their website

In the last few days, wildfires in Southern California have raged through neighborhoods and devastated families, homes, schools, medical care centers, and so much more – affecting tens of thousands from all walks of life.

A state of emergency has been issued.

If you feel compelled to help, here are some resources and ideas:

Support

Organizations such as José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen, which has been a longtime partner of The Archewell Foundation, are serving meals to both first responders and victims of the fire.

CAL FIRE and LA Fire Department Foundation and others are working closely to support firefighters who risk their lives, bravely showing up in these high-risk environments to help save homes, families, and communities in need.

Animal Wellness Foundation is continuing to house and care for animals evacuated by the fires while Compton Cowboys is providing emergency transportation services for horses.

Airbnb and 211LA have partnered to provide free, temporary housing for those who have been displaced.

Baby2baby is providing essential supplies including diapers, clothing, hygiene products, and emergency kits to families in need.

All Power Books and many others are staying open for emergency use, offering supplies and water for pickup while working tirelessly to distribute essentials to those affected.

Open your home
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. And be sure to check in with any disabled or elderly neighbors to see if they need help evacuating.

Give back
Some families and people have been left with nothing. Please consider donating clothing, children’s toys & clothing, and other essentials. The American Red Cross is on the ground helping those in need.

16. Sounds good to me. Archewell is a long-time partner with Jose Andres? Hard to argue with that...

Or so one would think.

The couple is acting like good neighbors should.

[Cha]

17. TY.. Harry & Meghan are Helping Getting Support tor

Victims of the LA Fires! They should be Thanked by those who Care about the Victims.. not Scorned.

24. I can't believe the hate leveled at them.

A lot of this is fueled by grifters on sites like Twitter who have made a cottage industry out of hating Harry and Meghan, Meghan especially, and I think we know why. These grifters, along with the UK tabloids like the Daily Mail, cater especially to racist, anti-American in case of the UK haters, women all upset because Harry didn't choose them or a white UK woman.

It's disgusting. The worst is the claim Meghan is a "narcissist." In all the interviews I have seen of her, I see absolutely NOTHING to indicate any kind of narcissism at all. She is sincere about what she believes in, as is Harry.

These grifters only prove the couple right for having left the UK. The grifters and the UK media are disgusting.

32. I was glad my English mum never had to see them whining on American TV during a pandemic

fucking disgusting

[Meowmee]

25. Good for them 👏🏻

[madaboutharry]

33. Los Angeles is Meghan Markle's hometown.

She grew up there. I don’t think it is exploitative or opportunistic for her to go there. She also probably still has friends and family living in Los Angeles. I would think it is somewhat personal. Besides Harry and Meghan have the resources to help people in an awful situation.

I never did get all the animosity directed at them.

[CatWoman]

37. my guess: too much tabloid nonsense

hating those two has become a cottage industry and people make a lot of money off the hate.

[B.See]

39. "I never did get all the animosity directed at them."

I do.

[Midnight Writer]

36. Wake me when our Godly televangelists, our tech bros, or our MAGA pols show up to help.
