José Andrés commended Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for their heartfelt visit to LA wildfire victims, highlighting their genuine compassion.
The couple went to the Pasadena Convention Center, which was serving as an evacuation site for those affected by the Eaton fire. They were seen hugging and comforting people, making a real connection with the community.
Andrés, who runs World Central Kitchen, shared how important it is for public figures to show up during tough times. He said, “They show up,” and emphasized that their presence means a lot to those in need.
Despite some criticism from others, like actress Justine Bateman, who called them “ambulance chasers,” Andrés stood by the couple. He noted that they don’t have to help, but they choose to do so, which speaks volumes about their character.
Harry and Meghan also donated clothing and essential supplies to the donation center. Their efforts brought joy to many, including first responders and families who lost everything.
Pasadena Mayor Victor Gordo praised the couple for lifting spirits and being genuinely caring. He mentioned how they took the time to meet with affected families, showing their commitment to helping the community recover.
