Breaking News: Prince Harry & Meghan Markle issue rare joint statement in California wildfire apocalypse…. Check In For More Details
Prince Harry and Meghan have issued a rare statement as they volunteer to help with the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made an urgent appeal as wildfires ravage Los Angeles, causing widespread destruction.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who reside in Montecito, California, are preparing to leave their home if necessary, planning for the worst, but at the same time, they are offering their services to those in need. The Sussexes have encouraged people to “open their homes” to those forced to evacuate and to “check-in” on vulnerable neighbors, including the disabled and elderly.
Through their website, Sussex.com, they shared links to charities they have previously supported, which may act as a resource to those in need or looking to help.
The statement read: “In the last few days, wildfires in Southern California have raged through neighborhoods(sic) and devastated families, homes, schools, medical care centers(sic), and so much more affecting tens of thousands from all walks of life.”
They continued: “A state of emergency has been issued. If you feel compelled to help, here are some resources and ideas.”
The statement continued with a three-prong plan on how to help those who may be in a vulnerable position:
1) “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.”
2) “And be sure to check in with any disabled or elderly neighbors(sic) to see if they need help evacuating.”
3) “Please consider donating clothing, children’s toys and clothing, and other essentials. The American Red Cross is on the ground helping those in need.”
The rapid flames have devastated homes and businesses, forcing residents to evacuate smoke-filled canyons and scenic neighborhoods, including those where many celebrities such as the Sussexes reside.
These towering fires, which started on Tuesday, were fueled by the powerful Santa Ana winds, reaching gusts of over 70 mph in some areas.
Although the winds subsided on Thursday, the National Weather Service cautioned that even the reduced gusts could still rapidly spread the fire.
