The Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, displayed his dedication to charitable causes on Saturday night, attending a benefit concert in Santa Barbara. The event, aimed at raising funds for victims of the recent Los Angeles wildfires, was held at The Granada Theatre. This outing coincides with the launch of a new Netflix series by his wife, Meghan Markle, titled "With Love, Meghan," which aired on March 4.
The concert featured performances by renowned artists like Hootie & the Blowfish, Kenny Loggins, and Macy Gray. The proceeds from the event will aid the mental wellness of first responders in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, as well as musicians impacted by the fires. Prince Harry's presence at the event underscores his ongoing commitment to supporting communities in need.
In Montecito, where Prince Harry resides with Meghan Markle and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, the couple has actively participated in aiding fire victims. They previously made donations through their Archewell Foundation and reportedly opened their home to those displaced by the fires. The Palisades and Eaton fires, which began on January 7, wreaked havoc across over 20,000 acres north of Santa Monica.
The new Netflix series, "With Love, Meghan," marks the fifth production under the Sussexes' lucrative deal with Netflix, rumored to be worth $100 million. Although the exact payment for the show remains undisclosed, it adds to their growing portfolio of media ventures. Originally scheduled to debut in January, the series faced delays due to the wildfires and finally premiered in March.
The series' release was a heartwarming surprise for Meghan Markle, accompanied by a handwritten note from her family. As part of their continued efforts to give back, the couple also recently volunteered in Pasadena with Chef Jose Andres' World Central Kitchen.
