Meghan Markle hailed for ‘beautiful’ charity visit amid LA wildfires: ‘Our princess’

It comes after she and Harry received backlash for their last volunteering visit

In the latest Meghan Markle news, the Duchess of Sussex has been praised for a new visit amid the LA wildfires.

The wildfires have ripped through parts of Los Angeles and Southern California and, because of that, so many people have been left with nothing. But it seems Meghan, 43, is trying to help as much as she can.

This isn’t the first time Meghan has shown her support, as she and Prince Harry recently stepped out to volunteer help to those impacted by the fires.

However, their visit soon got blasted with backlash, completely overlooking the point.

Meghan Markle visits teen charity amid LA wildfires

But the criticism didn’t slow them down, as Meghan got straight back out there to provide help to different charities that need it.

In a short video shared by charity organisation Altadena Teen Girls Fire Recovery – which helps teenage victims of the Eaton Canyon Fire – showing the work they are doing to support the victims, Meghan was spotted.

That’s our princess. Always showing up to help.

The mum-of-two dressed very casually, with an LA cap, helping her blend in. But she brought many huge bags of supplies so that she could help.

The charity captioned their post: “And thank you to everyone who showed up on Monday. It was a such a special day! We love you!”

The Instagram post immediately became flooded with praise for Meghan, as news travelled of her support.

One commented: “Meghan continuing to show up and do good.”

Another penned: “Beautiful. Princess Meghan out helping, giving and supporting her community.”

A third hit back at all the negativity Meghan had been receiving. They wrote: “This is what Meghan has been doing since she was a child. Helping others! She did the same in Canada. Same in London. I’m so glad she is pushing towards being herself no matter what anyone has to say. Go on Meghan.”

“That’s our princess. Always showing up to help,” a fourth wrote.

Meghan and Harry face backlash over LA fires

Harry, alongside Meghan, made a surprise appearance in LA to meet the victims of the wildfires last week. The couple served food and donated toys and essential supplies to those who desperately needed it.

However, their appearance was quickly criticised by Hollywood star Justine Bateman who lashed out at the couple. She accused them of using the devastating situation for a “photo op”.

Meghan’s latest visit comes not only as she and Harry received unwanted attention on their last volunteer session, but also as she delays her Netflix series.

Real reason Queen Consort Camilla will change her royal title revealed: ‘It isn’t due to her popularity’

Queen Consort Camilla is set to undergo a major title change following the coronation in May, it has recently been reported.

Now, the real reason behind this change in title has been revealed by a royal expert – and it’s not due to her popularity.

Queen Consort Camilla to undergo major title change

Last week it was revealed that Camilla will undergo a major title change at the coronation.

As reported by The Mirror last Thursday (March 16), Camilla will be dropping the ‘Consort’ from her Queen Consort title soon.

Once the coronation is done, the 75-year-old will reportedly be simply known as Queen Camilla going forwards.

The news was revealed when the coronation edition of the bible was leaked.

In it, it reads: “To commemorate the Coronation of their majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla. In the Abbey Church of St Peter, Westminster. The sixth day of May 2023.”

When Camilla first married Charles, it was expected that she would become Princess Consort when Charles became King.

However, as per the late Queen Elizabeth’s wishes, Camilla’s title was changed to Queen Consort when Charles took the throne.

Now it seems as though another tweak is in order for Camilla’s royal title.

Why is Queen Consort Camilla changing her title?

Now, the real reason behind Camilla’s title change has been revealed – and it’s nothing to do with her popularity.

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliam spoke exclusively to ED! about the decision to change Camilla’s title and the reasoning behind it.

“Camilla’s history with titles is unique,” he said.

“She was Princess of Wales but chose to be known as the Duchess of Cornwall,” he then continued.

” It was the official position that when Charles ascended the throne she would be known as Princess Consort, until the Queen’s intervention in the eve of her Platinum Jubilee.”

“She is Queen Consort, but it is a heavy handed title,” he then said.

Camilla title change not down to ‘popularity’

The royal expert then continued, saying: “None of the previous three Queen Consorts used it, Alexandra, Mary and Elizabeth were all known as Queen.”

“In the age of social media and the net bad habits such as calling Catherine – Kate Middleton persist,” he then said.

“It also makes sense to make a title easier to use, which is why the change is likely,” he then continued.

Richard then revealed at this point that the title change has nothing to do with popularity.

“It isn’t really linked to her personal popularity,” he said.

However, there is also another reason behind the change, according to the royal expert.

“Queen Consort Camilla sounds clunky so it will probably change,” he revealed.
