Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are volunteering to help those in Los Angeles recover from the coronavirus pandemic.
What’s going on:
- According to Entertainment Tonight, Markle and Prince Harry have joined Project Angel Food to deliver meals in West Hollywood, California, to about 20 people who currently have critical illnesses.
- Markle and Prince Harry first helped the group on Easter Sunday by delivering some food. They elected to help again this week amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
What they’re saying:
- Richard Ayoub, Project Angel Food’s executive director, told ET: “They told us they heard our drivers were overloaded and wanted to volunteer to lighten the drivers’ workload.
- “I am blown away that they chose us. They care about our vulnerable population. Our clients are most at risk to contract the coronavirus, having compromised immune systems including heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, and most are over the age of 60.”
- The Deseret News has reached out to Project Angel Food for comment.
More time in quarantine
- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been spending their time in quarantine at their new house in Los Angeles, according to Today.com. The couple has been enjoying their time with Archie, the couple’s 11-month-old son.
- Prince Harry held a 30-minute call on Easter with a nurse and two British parents to spread positive messages about family, according to Today.com.
- He said: “There’s ... a lot of positives that are happening at the same time and being able to have family time — so much family time — that you almost think, ‘Do I feel guilty for having so much family time?’ You’ve got to celebrate those moments where you are just on the floor rolling around in hysterics. Inevitably, half an hour later, maybe a day later, there’s going to be something that you have to deal with, and there’s no way you can run away from it.”
