Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were captured “touring” a spot in L.A

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle faced criticism from American filmmaker Justine Bateman after they were photographed helping victims of the Los Angeles wildfires. Bateman, best known for her role in Family Ties, accused the Duke and Duchess of Sussex of being “disaster tourists” and “ambulance chasers,” implying they were just seeking attention. She shared the footage on X (formerly Twitter), questioning their motives and suggesting the couple’s actions were driven by the desire for publicity.

In response to Bateman’s comment, a source close to the royal couple defended them, expressing that it was offensive to suggest their efforts were simply for a photo op. The source emphasized that L.A. holds special significance for Meghan, as it has always felt like “home” to her, despite living 90 miles away. They clarified that Meghan’s “heart is completely broken” over the loss caused by the wildfires and that the couple had been actively involved in relief efforts long before the media caught wind of their actions.

The source also pointed out that Harry and Meghan had not only donated money and supplies but had also spent hours volunteering with relief teams. They clarified that the couple had invested significant time and resources in helping the victims, underlining their genuine commitment to supporting those affected by the disaster.
