Meghan and Harry Extend a Helping Hand
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been hands-on, assisting communities impacted by the severe wildfires that have swept across Southern California. The royal pair made their second appearance in Pasadena within a week, on Friday, January 10, 2025, prompting various reactions online.
During their visit, the couple engaged in discussions about community recovery and the broader wildfire relief efforts, while providing food and essential supplies to those in need. Their earlier visit was more understated, focused on delivering meals to displaced residents.
Meghan’s Jewelry Sparks Debate
This latest visit, however, stirred up some controversy online due to Meghan’s choice of accessories, particularly a Cartier bracelet captured in a video from the event.
Social media platforms buzzed with opinions regarding Meghan’s jewelry. Some users were openly critical. One comment read, “Photo ops … she shows up wearing 50k in Cartier jewelry lol.”
Another user remarked, “She had to wear a Cartier bracelet for that? Fake.” A third added, “Wearing her best Cartier love bracelet jewelry to help out!”
Others felt that the focus should be on the mission rather than appearances. “It’s not time to look perfect or prim and proper. If you want to help, you leave jewelry at home and try not to get in the lens of the camera,” wrote another.
Support for Meghan and Harry
Not everyone shared this critical view, with some praising Meghan and Harry for their goodwill. A supporter commented, “They’re always so caring and helpful to others.” Another simply said, “Very nice of them.”
Despite the debate around Meghan’s accessories, the couple’s dedication to helping those affected is undeniable. They discussed the extensive damage caused by the wildfires and suggested aid solutions in an official statement.
“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,” their statement detailed. They acknowledged the severity of the situation and urged the public to support organizations providing direct assistance.
