Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are closely monitoring the wildfires affecting Southern California, particularly in Los Angeles. While their Montecito residence in Santa Barbara County is currently not under immediate threat, the couple has proactively opened their home to friends and loved ones who have been forced to evacuate due to the fires.
In a recent visit to the Salinas Fire Department, Prince Harry met with firefighters and their therapy dogs, Cruz and Taffy, to show support and boost morale during these challenging times.
As of now, Montecito remains outside the current evacuation zones, and there have been no official reports indicating that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex need to evacuate. However, residents are advised to stay informed through official channels, such as the Montecito Fire Department, for the latest updates and safety information.
