Everything Meghan Markle and Prince Harry do follows a fair share of backlash, but that never brings any shortcomings in their philanthropic efforts. If anything, the consistent opposition strengthens their motive, and recently, the power couple made headlines after releasing a new statement, stressing the importance of playtime for children. Shortly after, they appeared in a video from Project:Camp LA. Project:Camp LA is a non-profit organization, providing pop-up day camps for the youngest victims of disasters.
After the ravaging wildfires in LA, the Duke and the Duchess were attacked from pockets of the globe over capitalizing on alleged “photo op” drives when they stepped out to help the affected. But since then, the lovebirds have neither stopped nor slowed down on their collective humanitarian efforts. “Children need more than just shelter—they need stability, support, and the space to play,” the statement, released through their Archewell Foundation read, highlighting Project:Camp’s work in these areas.
Having said that, how exactly have Archewell Foundation and Project: Camp joined forces to help these kids?
