Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have secretly donated to a country the Duke and Duchess hold close to their hearts following devastating news from there.
The royal couple made the donations after Hurricane Melissa finally left the Caribbean on Friday after battering communities there for days, leaving a trail of devastation that killed about 50 people.
Melissa hit Jamaica and Cuba with enormous force, and residents were assessing their losses and the long road to recovery.
Jamaica’s Information Minister Dana Morris Dixon said in a briefing that authorities had “fairly credible” reports of possible five additional deaths, but had not yet been able to confirm them.
After this, Meghan and Harry issued a statement through their Archewell Foundations and asked their fans and friends for donations.
They said: “These communities need our support now. We have donated and we ask that you give whatever support you can, big or small, because every little bit helps.”
The statement further reads: Jamaica, a country the Duke and Duchess hold close to their hearts and last visited in 2024, has been especially hard hit.
“Cities and towns that were usually vibrant and full of life have been destroyed. Entire neighborhoods remain under water. More than three-quarters of the island remains without power, and for many families, the question is not just rebuilding, but surviving the day.”
