Prince Harry and Meghan Markle help out in aftermath of LA wildfires

This month has seen LA and parts of Southern California ravaged by wildfires.

In the aftermath of the fires, Prince Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, were spotted helping hand out food parcels to survivors.

Pasadena Mayor Victor Gordo, who accompanied the couple, gushed over their help.

“They really buoyed the spirits of the first responders,” he said. “We visited the command post at the Rose Bowl, and people were very happy to see them.”

Mayor Gordo then continued, saying: “They were not here for publicity, they came out here to work.

“They took the time to meet the people who were affected and spend time. They are just very caring people who are very concerned for their friends and neighbours.”

Kelly Osbourne hits out at celebrities amid wildfires

However, Kelly Osbourne, 40, has hinted she hasn’t been impressed with Harry and Meghan – and celebs in general’s reaction to the LA fires.

The star posted a now-deleted video ranting about celebs to her Instagram this week.

“Is it just me being my normal overthinking cynical self, or is it really disturbing to see all of these celebrities using other people’s pain and suffering as a photo op,” she said.

“To say, ‘Look I’m helping, I’m doing this, I’m doing that?’ I don’t believe you help so that you can get attention for helping. I believe you just help because you want to,” she then continued.

“No one asked you to come out and give hugs. Go home.”

The video, which was reuploaded to TikTok, saw people point at Harry and Meghan in particular.

“Well said Meghan and Harry brought a full film crew with them for their own benefit PR stunt,” one person commented.

“No I agree I saw Harry and Meghan the other day it was obviously for the cameras,” another said.

Hollywood star Justine Bateman also slammed the Sussexes. She said on X: “Meghan Markle and Harry are no better than ambulance chasers. What a repulsive ‘photo op’ they achieved. They are ‘touring the damage’? Are they politicians now?

“They don’t live here; they are tourists. Disaster tourists.”

Meghan delays launch of Netflix show

In other news, Meghan announced that the release of her new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, has been delayed.

The lifestyle series was meant to drop earlier this week. However, in the wake of the LA fires, the Duchess of Sussex announced it would now be airing in March instead.

“I’m thankful to my partners at Netflix for supporting me in delaying the launch, as we focus on the needs of those impacted by the wildfires in my home state of California,” she said in a statement.

Nick Ede, a brand and culture expert, said that the delay “needed to happen” in light of the fires.

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

“The move from Meghan and Netflix to change the date of her new TV show With Love, Meghan is a move that needed to happen,” he told Royal Insider.

“As a resident of California who is caught in the middle of one of the worst natural disasters they have ever experienced, it would have seemed tone deaf to have aired the show,” he then added.
