Prince Harry made a very sweet gesture to an elderly victim of the Los Angeles wildfires during a visit with his wife Meghan Markle this weekend. The royal couple, who live in Montecito near Santa Barbara, around 90 miles away from LA, were seen comforting victims as they handed out food parcels with Jennifer Newsom at the Pasadena Convention Centre, which is being used as an evacuation centre, on Friday.

Meghan, 43, and Harry, 40, have rallied around victims by making donations to relief efforts through their Archewell Foundation and have opened their $29million Montecito mansion to loved ones who were forced to evacuate. They were joined by Mayor Victor Gordo to visit the victims and see the destruction of the fire first-hand.

At one point, Gordo said he lost track of the Duke of Sussex - before witnessing a very special act of kindness from the royal. According to local paper the Pasadena Star News, Harry offered an elderly man if he wanted something to eat - a sandwich, piece of fruit or some water.

When the man, who wasn't aware of who he was speaking to, said what he really wanted was a donut, Harry personally went out to fetch him one, and returned ten minutes later. “The gentleman said, ‘what I’d really like is a donut,’” Gordo recalled, per the Pasadena Star.
