Meghan Markle’s roses for the victims of the Uvalde massacre

Also Meghan Markle wanted to pay homage to victims of the Uvalde massacre. The Duchess arrived by surprise in the small town of Texas where an 18-year-old named Salvador Ramos (later killed by the police) shot to death twenty-one children and two teachers in Robb Elementary School. Wearing jeans, t-shirt and cap, Prince Harry’s wife went to the memorial improvised outside the Uvalde County Courthouse, with flowers and candles at the foot of wooden crosses, each marked with the names of the deceased. The Duchess she gathered in prayer for several minutes and has placed a bouquet of white roses on the cross of the youngest victim of the massacre: Uziyah Garcia, 8 years old. Accompanied by bodyguard Alberto Alvarez, who once looked after Michael Jackson’s protection, Meghan, whose visit seems to have remained secret, then strolled among the crosses ignoring the troupe of journalists surrounding the memorial. According to the British press, however, it is not excluded that Neftlix’s cameras were filming itwho is filming a docuseries on the life of the Sussexes after the farewell to the royal family.

After visiting the memorial, the Duchess went to the Herby Ham Activity Center, a blood collection center, and left bags of food there for donors. “Two big bags full of sandwiches, drinks and desserts,” according to BuzzFeed News. “I had no idea who he was. But she stopped to chat with me as if we had known each other for years»Said Gloria Contreras, a volunteer from the Herby Ham Activity Center. “We talked about what happened, about my work as a volunteer, but also about my personal life, about my family, about my son, about how warm and kind everyone is in small towns like Uvalde”.

Markle arrived in Texas, surprisingly, just two days after that his father Thomas was hospitalized, paralyzed and unable to speak, of a suspected stroke. The 77-year-old fell ill on May 24 at his home in Rosarito, Mexico. The ambulance rushed him, with an oxygen mask on his face, to a hospital in Chula Vista, California. A place a few hours drive from Montecito, where he lives the duchess daughter with whom he has not had relations for years. Since the man ended up in the hospital, everyone has been wondering: Meghan will visit him? For now we only know that the Duchess preferred to fly to Texas to pay homage to the victims of the Uvalde massacre. And that she has not been seen at her father’s bedside.
