The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, have come under fire after their surprise visit to a meal distribution centre for people affected by the wildfires in Los Angeles.
While the couple sought to offer support to victims and first responders, their actions drew criticism on social media, with many accusing them of using the tragedy for self-promotion.
On Friday, the couple visited the Pasadena Convention Center, which has been converted into an evacuation site for people affected by the Eaton fire. There, they met with residents, volunteers from World Central Kitchen (WCK), and first responders, as per CNN report.
The WCK, which the couple has partnered with through their Archewell Foundation, has been providing free meals to those impacted by the fires.
While their visit was praised by local officials, including Pasadena Mayor Victor Gordo, who described them as “great people” focused on helping, many social media users criticised the couple for acting like they were still royals.
