The Duke and Duchess of Sussex on Friday made a surprise visit to a meal distribution center set up for people affected by the wildfires that have devastated Los Angeles. Prince Harry and Meghan were spotted by a local news crew Fox 11 at the Pasadena Convention Center, which has been repurposed as a evacuation site. The couple spoke to World Central Kitchen (WCK) founder José Andrés and volunteers from the organization, as well as first responders and victims. WCK, which has been a longstanding partner of their Archewell Foundation, has been distributing free meals to emergency crews and people affected by the massive blazes. The pair were also seen hugging Pasadena Mayor Victor Gordo, who later described the couple to Fox 11 as “great people” who had “really buoyed the spirits.” Gordo said they had been at the center earlier in the day, when they quietly served food and were not recognized because they wore face masks. “They want to be as helpful as they can be and really they just wanted to be supportive,” Gordo said. He added that they “didn’t come out here for publicity” but rather “they came out here to work.”
