Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made a surprise move to Los Angeles at the end of March, and it’s safe to say they picked the worst time to upend their lives. I mean, it’s always a good time to leave the royal family if you were as mistreated as Meghan and Harry were, but coronavirus definitely isn’t making this transition easy for them.
According to recent People reports, they “felt helpless reading about everything going on and wanted to get out and contribute” and now “only leave their house for charity work.”
Before Meghan and Harry stepped back from their @SussexRoyal Instagram account, they posted a prompt that encouraged their followers to express how they feel and to check in with their emotional well-being.
But although they may have initially felt “helpless,” the couple seems to have found their groove, and Meghan is reportedly taking this as an opportunity “to show Harry Los Angeles through the eyes of philanthropy.”
One of their recent charitable acts involved touring the Project Angel Food facility before they began assisting with food deliveries. The charity’s executive director told People, “They were interested in every single person they met” and added:
“They asked a lot of questions about the clients, about how the food is done, and how much food is made. We talked about how the meals are medically tailored and geared toward each client, they met with our chefs, and then we gave them all our social distancing protocols for the deliveries and they wore gloves and masks and they kept six feet away.”
It seems like the philanthropic couple are finding their footing quite well.
