Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made a donation to a family who recently tragically lost a son.

Kelly McKee Zajfen, 42, announced the tragic passing of her child on Instagram at the weekend.

“My sweet baby boy,” she wrote. “I have little ability to breathe. Walk. Function. Sit. Stand. You were the light of my life. Your smile made the room so bright and your heart was the most perfect and sweetest.”

“You left this Earth and left behind so many people who loved you. I don’t know how I’m able to go on. How I can function. How I can be the light and have joy ever again but I’m going to try. Try hard for your beautiful twin sister.”

As a result, a GoFundMe page was created by family friend Kate Jefferson.

Consequently, Harry and Meghan made a donation of £5,000 on the page earlier this week.

Furthermore, on the GoFundMe page, Kelly’s sister wrote: “My name is Kate and I’m raising funds for the Zajfen family so that they may grieve the loss of their sweet angel boy, George.

“He was the happiest, kindest boy that walked the earth. George’s heart was compassionate, his smile contagious, and his love for his twin sister and parents was palpable. This unexpected loss is beyond devastating and the Zajfen family will need time to even begin to heal.”
