When devastating wildfires swept through Southern California in January, 14-year-old Avery Colvert knew she had to do something. What she didn’t expect was for Meghan Markle and the Archewell Foundation to lend a helping hand in what Colvert says has turned her charity, Altadena Girls, from a temporary relief effort into a full-blown nonprofit organization.

When Avery's stepdad told her that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s foundation wanted to get involved, Colvert says she “just started to break down crying.”

“Meghan is so incredibly kind,” the Altadena Girls founder continues. “She was so excited to help.”

Colvert says she finds the claims “ridiculous.” “They’re like, ‘Oh she came in and she just dropped her stuff off and left. People weren’t there,” she shares, explaining that Meghan “came in with bags of clothing from her own closet” and “was there for multiple hours in a day.” The duchess even “got stylist training” so she could help girls choose outfits and accessories.

“For all the girls that were coming in, they got to be styled by Meghan Markle,” Colvert continues, noting that some clients “came in and just completely broke down” when they saw the duchess there.

The Archewell Foundation’s support “has continued beyond just that day…They’ve continued to open lots of doors for us & make connections.” When it came to Altadena Girls’s new permanent space, which opened in Pasadena last week, Archewell even helped them “to secure the building.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: A Powerful Couple Making a Difference in 2024 In 2024, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have continued to wield their influence and power to make significant positive changes in the world.

"'That experience of knowing what life, post-injury, is like gives people so much hope. And hope, hope, hope is a huge part of this,' Prince Harry tells PEOPLE.

"For Meghan, a pivotal moment during the trip featured a panel discussion about women and leadership alongside the director-general of the World Trade Organization, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

"Dr. Okonjo-Iweala recognizes the pressure Meghan is under in the public eye, telling PEOPLE: 'She’s a role model for young women. She’s a woman who is not in an easy position, and people are looking to see how is she managing and navigating this. That’s one of the things she brings: inspiration. You can see in spite of that, she’s a cheerful, warm personality, and everybody in the room took to her.'

"That evident good cheer stands in contrast to Meghan and Harry’s last visit to Africa in 2019. Back then, the duchess was asked if she was 'okay,' and her answer ('Not many people have asked') betrayed that she clearly wasn’t. Both Meghan and Harry were in a challenging place, and within months they announced their radical withdrawal from royal life. Now, almost five years later, it’s clear their spirits have lifted.  "'We’re just doing great. And happy to be watching our family grow up and evolve. Of course, I'm happy. We're really happy,' Meghan tells PEOPLE.

Opinion: Why Meghan Markle Stays Living Rent-Free in Some White Women’s Heads

Despite her grace, intelligence, and success, Meghan Markle has become a lightning rod for criticism rooted in racism, sexism, and the discomfort of white women grappling with their own privilege.

“Before Meghan became the Duchess of Sussex, she was a woman forging her own way. Her passion for connection & advocacy was evident in her humanitarian work & The Tig, which celebrated food, travel & culture”

“The online hate, however, reveals a bigger problem: Meghan isn’t just criticized for what she does—she’s criticized for existing in spaces where women like her have traditionally been unwelcomed.”

“Meghan Markle doesn’t just live rent-free in her critics’ heads—she thrives there. And that’s what makes her unstoppable.”

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, Prince Harry and Meghan The Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently visited with a local youth group, AHA! Santa Barbra to learn firsthand about this generations experiences, with social media and societal pressures and how it affects their mental well being. The couple engaged with these amazing youth in candid conversation, working to find solutions together. 

During this hour long session The Duke and Duchess of Sussex spoke with teens ages 14-18 about the opportunities social media can provide for connection and community, as well as the ways in which it also raises issues of insecurity, peer-pressure and potential for self-harm among other risks.
