Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have secretly donated to a country the Duke and Duchess hold close to their hearts after 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 and leaving a trail of destruction that killed around 50 people.
Melissa smashed both Jamaica and Cuba with tremendous force, and residents assessed their loss and the long road to recovery.
Jamaica’s Information Minister Dana Morris Dixon told a briefing that authorities had “fairly credible” reports of a potential five additional deaths but were not yet able to confirm.
Following this, Meghan and Harry released a statement through their Archewell Foundation, asking fans and friends for donations.
They said: “These communities need our support now. We have donated and are asking you to give whatever support you can, big or small, because every little bit helps.”
The statement added that Jamaica, a country the Duke and Duchess hold close to their hearts and last visited in 2024, has been particularly hard hit.
“Towns and villages that are normally vibrant and full of life have been torn apart. Whole neighborhoods remain underwater. More than three-quarters of the island is still without power, and for many families the issue is not just about rebuilding – it’s about getting through the day.”
