Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stood alongside the embattled California governor’s wife as they served meals to the survivors of the Los Angeles wildfires.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stood next to the wife of the Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom who has come under increasing pressure from the likes of President-elect Donald Trump for his response to the raging wildfires.

The royal couple, who live near Santa Barbara, around 90 mfiles away from LA, were seen comforting victims as they handed out food parcels with Jennifer Newsom at the Pasadena Convention Centre, which is being used as an evacuation centre, on Friday.

But they masked pair appeared to be overlooked by the FOX LA anchor who made no mention of the duo with the segment being focussed on Newsom.

Meghan, 43, and Harry, 40, have rallied around victims by making donations to relief efforts through their Archewell Foundation and have opened their $29million Montecito mansion to loved ones who were forced to evacuate.

The fires that have ravaged the city have killed 16 people and burned through almost 14,000 acres. Around 4,000 to 5,000 structures have also been damaged or destroyed including the homes of Hollywood A-listers.

US President Joe Biden has chillingly predicting the death toll is likely to rise after he described the terrifying situation as ‘like a war scene’.

LA County Fire Chief Anthony Marrone has warned high winds and low humidity means the fire threat will remain high until Wednesday.

Meghan and Harry were spotted hugging their ‘favourite’ celebrity chef José Andrés, the founder of World Central Kitchen, who has teamed up with the couple through their Archewell Foundation since 2020, which is distributing free hot meals to the public and emergency crews in the wake of the wildfires.

The Duchess shared a lemon olive oil cake recipe to Andrés’ The World Central Kitchen: Feeding Humanity, Feeding Hope in 2023.

Meghan, who was dressed in a light blue shirt and blue LA baseball cap, and Harry, who donned a black baseball cap and black polo shirt, also took time to speak with the Mayor of Pasadena Victor Gordo.

The couple were keen to provide any support they could, according to the Mayor, saying they were ‘great people’ with ‘great personalities’.

‘They really buoyed the spirits of the first responders. We visited the command post at the Rose Bowl and people were very happy to see them,’ the Mayor added.

It comes ahead of the premiere on Wednesday, January 15, of the Duchess’s new Netflix cookery show With Love, Meghan.

The interaction was broadcast live on FOX LA, with news anchor Susan Hirasuna later being slammed online for describing Meghan as ‘Princess Markle’. She also received criticism for saying Meghan was ‘hanging out with the commoners’.

Speaking to FOX LA, Mayor Gordo said: ‘They (Harry and Meghan) want to be as helpful as they can be and really they just want to be supportive.’

He added that the couple visited some of the burnt out houses in Pasadena and Altadena and spoke to those who had lost their homes.

‘They took the time to meet the people who were affected and spend time. They are just very caring people who are very concerned for their friends and neighbours,’ the Mayor said.

Ms Hirasuna then asked: ‘I saw Meghan Markle stoop down and take the lid off of a plastic bin. Do they want to really get down and dirty?’

Do you believe celebrities’ involvement in the wildfire relief is genuine or a publicity stunt?

Genuine

PR move

A mix of both

He said Harry and Meghan made an earlier appearance at the centre on the same day, during which they were ‘anonymously’ serving food to victims who were unable to recognise the pair with their masks on.

‘We went to visit some of the families in the impacted area and view firsthand some of the impacted area and then they wanted to go visit the first responders and personally thank them for their efforts to help our families and their neighbors,’ the Mayor added.

Jennifer Siebel Newsom, California‘s First Partner, was also pictured speaking to the couple along with Chef Andrés.

Earlier in the broadcast, Ms Hirasuna described Meghan as ‘Princess Meghan’, which led to some disgruntled viewers to criticise her reporting.

Many took to social media to point out her mistake, clarifying that Meghan is the Duchess of Sussex, rather than a Princess.

Earlier in the broadcast, Ms Hirasuna described Meghan as ‘Princess Meghan’, which led to some disgruntled viewers to criticise her reporting.

Many took to social media to point out her mistake, clarifying that Meghan is the Duchess of Sussex, rather than a Princess.

One person YouTube saying: ‘Dear Ma’am, Markel is not a princess. She is a duchess and not allowed to use the title. Just FYI.’

Another commenter added: ‘AGAIN SHES NOT A PRINCESS!!!’, while a third wrote: ‘Stop calling her Princess, that’s not her title!’

Elsewhere on Instagram, users described the coverage as cringe, after Ms Hirasuna also said the couple was ‘hanging out with the commoners’.

One person wrote: ‘Absolute cringeworthy – the newscaster. Princess. Commoners. Geez.’

Another person added: ‘I imagine Harry & Meghan are very moved by the deviation (sic) so close to home. The commentators coverage of this is extremely cringe.’

A third person also criticised Ms Hirasuna for making the ‘rude remark’.
