Sussexes statement about Californian wildfires

[PrettyFlyforaMaiTai]

Meghan and Harry have released a statement in regards to the California wildfire via their Sussex.com website.

It reads:

”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.
A state of emergency has been issued.
If you feel compelled to help, here are some resources and ideas:
Support
Organizations such as José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen, which has been a longtime partner of The Archewell Foundation, are serving meals to both first responders and victims of the fire.
CAL FIRE and LA Fire Department Foundation and others are working closely to support firefighters who risk their lives, bravely showing up in these high-risk environments to help save homes, families, and communities in need.
Animal Wellness Foundation is continuing to house and care for animals evacuated by the fires while Compton Cowboys is providing emergency transportation services for horses.
Airbnb and 211LA have partnered to provide free, temporary housing for those who have been displaced.

Baby2baby is providing essential supplies including diapers, clothing, hygiene products, and emergency kits to families in need.
All Power Books and many others are staying open for emergency use, offering supplies and water for pickup while working tirelessly to distribute essentials to those affected.

Open your home
If a friend, loved one, or pet has to evacuate and you are able to offer them a safe haven in your home, please do. And be sure to check in with any disabled or elderly neighbors to see if they need help evacuating.
Give back
Some families and people have been left with nothing. Please consider donating clothing, children’s toys & clothing, and other essentials. The American Red Cross is on the ground helping those in need.”

How do you possibly recover from this?

I keep thinking it's not only their own home they have lost, which is bad enough, it's your entire neighbourhood, school etc

Evidence???!

I think her point was that Catherine went to an engagement wearing shoes?!😂

Why does this matter so much to you??!

How do you know she was pretending??

I don’t think the night shift have arrived yet .

I have read people have been stopped from going back to their own properties yet the pound shop royals aka Harry and Meghan can go where they wish on their tours. No wonder folk are furious.

@mainecooncatonahottinroof "How do you know she was pretending??"

Because she would not have been allowed to move boxes in those shoes. Health&Safety"

Right....

@Viviennemary "I have read people have been stopped from going back to their own properties yet the pound shop royals aka Harry and Meghan can go where they wish on their tours. No wonder folk are furious."

It's extremely unlikely that H&M would
be allowed to go anywhere where they might be in any danger. And, it seems that's the only reason peope are not allowed to go back to their homes.

So what if she was pretending? It was a publicity shot for the charity. Do you think that people in adverts actually do all the things they are doing or are they possibly “pretending” too?

Allowed by whom??

No it’s not. It’s because police services are stretched and they can’t at the moment accompany everyone back to their streets/homes.

They can’t just let anyone in and leave them to it, there’s looters attacking properties.

They can’t just let anyone in and leave them to it, there’s looters attacking properties.

Exactly.
Let's hope the owners didn't leave any emerald tiaras or particularly nice lip gloss lying around.

If they are so stretched why are they allowing H& M look round. They dont live there and are unaffected personally by the fires. They represent no-one. It is totally unnecessary and unacceptable on every level.

"So what if she was pretending?"

Somebody asked me how I knew she was pretending. That's the question I was answering!

OK, but it came across like you disapproved of the fact that she was pretending 🤷‍♀️

Ive noticed Scobie isnt commenting or retweeting anything on H&M more recently.

You know when organisations have ceremonial tree planting? Do you think the dignitary invited for publicity purposes, wearing a smart suit/high heels, is required to get stuck in digging a big hole, hefting the tree into it, filling it in and is then rewarded with a mug of builders with 5 sugars and a digestive biscuit? Or do you think they are invited to pose for the picture to help the organisation's publicity drive, and that's a perfectly valid reason to be there, holding onto a shovel, in high heels?

He said about a year ago that he was retiring from royal reporting, and seems to have stuck to that

I think he popped up recently to say something about their Xmas card? Think he is also living in LA now.

He's writing a book/script about an American woman working for the British Royal Family in their communications team, called Royal Spin. He absolutely has not left his royal writing days behind. He's just pivoted.
