Megan Markle, who was born and raised in L.A, and Prince Harry have been called out for being “disaster tourists” despite anonymously volunteering and donating money to aid the victims of the deadly wildfires.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, the Duchess and Duke of Sussex, were hit with bizarre backlash from critics who branded them “disaster tourists” despite anonymously volunteering and donating money to aid the victims of the deadly Los Angeles wildfires.
Firefighters in Ventura County worked to contain a new brush fire in the Santa Clara River bottom today as powerful Santa Ana winds raised the risk of additional blazes across Southern California, currently facing some of the worst fires in the state’s history.
The strongest gusts of this latest wind event were forecast for Tuesday night, prompting Los Angeles County officials to urge residents to brace for potential power outages and prepare for possible evacuations.

Given that Markle was born and raised and currently lives in Los Angeles, it’s only natural that she would want to help out; she and Prince Harry have already made donations to disaster relief via the Archewell Foundation and have opened up their Montecito home to loved ones who’ve been forced to evacuate.

Additionally, Fox 11 Los Angeles filmed the couple at the Pasadena evacuation site, a visit that was praised by Pasadena Mayor Victor Gordo, who said “it’s great people, great personalities and great heart for them to come out here and meet with the first responders, meet with the people who were affected.”
