Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Visit Uvalde Families Nearly 2 Years After Mass Shooting
HuffPost
Markle has kept in touch with families in the Texas city since the 2022 shooting at Robb Elementary School.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited families in Uvalde, Texas, over the weekend, nearly two years after the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School that left 19 children and two teachers dead.
On Saturday, John Martinez, whose aunt, Irma Garcia, was one of the teachers killed in the shooting, shared on X, formerly Twitter, that the royal couple came to his house to celebrate his mother’s birthday.
“MEGHAN MARKLE AND PRINCE HARRY CAME TO MY HOUSE !?!?!?! they’re such a beautiful couple and i’m so blessed, so glad they came to check up on the family,” he wrote.
Back in December, Martinez shared a video on X of Markle calling to check in on Irma Garcia’s children on Father’s Day. About 48 hours after Irma Garcia was killed, her husband, Joe Garcia, died of a heart attack.
Prince Harry and Markle also visited Layla Salazar’s family. Layla was one of the 19 children killed during the shooting.
