In a statement, the couple said: “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.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex continued: “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. 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.”
They currently risk having the power to their mansion cut off due to the ongoing fires. Firefighters are continuing to tackle the blazes as thousands of people flee the areas to seek safety. Electricity companies around Montecito, where the couple have lived in a “high fire risk” property since 2020, suggested on Wednesday that shut downs of power were possible. This raised the prospect of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex having to move to safety with their two young children.
