Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been actively providing aid to those impacted by the devastating wildfires that have ravaged Southern California.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made their second visit to Pasadena in a week on Friday, January 10, 2025, sparking mixed reactions online. During their visit, the couple engaged in discussions about community recovery and wildfire relief while distributing food and essential supplies to victims. Earlier that week, they had discreetly delivered meals to individuals displaced by the fires.

However, their latest appearance stirred controversy on social media, particularly directed at Meghan Markle’s choice of accessories. Critics took issue with her decision to wear an expensive Cartier bracelet during the visit, with some accusing her of prioritizing appearances over the gravity of the situation.


Social media platforms were inundated with opinions, both critical and supportive. One user commented, “Photo ops … she shows up wearing 50k in Cartier jewelry lol [sic].” Another remarked, “She had to wear a Cartier bracelet for that? Fake.” A third user added, “Wearing her best Cartier love bracelet jewelry to help out!”

Others chimed in, critiquing the appropriateness of wearing high-end jewelry during such an occasion. “It’s not time to look perfect or prim and proper. If you want to help, you leave jewelry at home and try not to get in the lens of the camera [sic],” another comment read.

Despite the wave of criticism, many supporters came to the couple’s defense. One user praised their efforts, writing, “They’re always so caring and helpful to [sic] others.” Another expressed, “Very nice [of] them.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, undeterred by the online backlash, maintained their focus on the cause. In an official statement, they shed light on the severity of the wildfires and urged the public to contribute to relief efforts.

“In the last few days, wildfires in Southern California have raged through neighborhoods and devastated families, homes, schools, medical care centers, and so much more – affecting tens of thousands from all walks of life,” the statement read. The couple emphasized the urgency of the situation and encouraged support for organizations providing direct assistance.

While opinions about their public appearance varied, the couple’s dedication to aiding wildfire victims underscored their commitment to humanitarian efforts.
