Meghan Markle Praised for Donating Her Clothes to LA Wildfire Victims

Meghan Markle has been applauded for donating her personal clothing to the victims of the Los Angeles wildfires. She collaborated with a local charity, Altadena Girls, founded by 14-year-old Avery Colvert, in order to assist teenage girls who lost their belongings in the devastating fires.

Meghan is so kind. All the girls that were coming in, they got to be styled by Meghan Markle,” shared Colvert, adding that the Duchess of Sussex was involved far beyond just a donation: She helped the teens pick out outfits, using stylist training to guide them. She even personally lugged bags of supplies to cars.

Besides her hands-on work, Meghan’s Archewell Foundation is still supporting the charity and even helped secure a permanent space for Altadena Girls. Still, some, including actress Justine Bateman, criticized Meghan and Harry, claiming they were taking advantage of the situation for a “repulsive photo op” and branding them “disaster tourists.”

This was Harry and Meghan, who were photographed in Pasadena, visiting the city’s mayor and sheltering evacuees in their grounds. They were also donating to the community what people needed, especially essential items.
