Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been photographed for the first time since they moved to LA as they delivered food parcels to people unable to go outside due to coronavirus.
The couple wore facemasks and gloves as they dropped off packages on behalf of the Los Angeles-based nonprofit Project Angel Food to people with chronic illnesses.
The couple, who were casually dressed in jeans, t-shirts, baseball caps and trainers, were caught on CCTV as they buzzed the front door at the Sierra Bonita Community Apartments in West Hollywood.
The people they were delivering to had no warning of their famous helpers, and have revealed the kind words the couple said before handing over the food.
They delivered food to two residents, including Daniel Tyrell, 53, who came down from his fourth-floor apartment to pick up the delivery at the main entrance.
Daniel, who has issues with high blood pressure, said: “My phone rang and a lady said, ‘Hi this is Meghan from Project Angel Food.
“I said, ‘Oh, do you want to meet me downstairs? I didn’t realise it was the Meghan at this point. So I walked down the external staircase and I saw the two black SUVs on the road outside so I knew there was something going on. I went down to the front door to let them in. I recognised him first because of his reddish hair.
“Then I looked at her and put it together. Harry didn’t introduce himself or anything. They both said here’s the food and thank you, hope you’re well and that you’re fine. They handed the food over and I said thank you, too. I didn’t let on about it, I didn’t want to make them uncomfortable or anything.”
The couple arrived in their black SUV and were followed by another car containing their protection officers.
However they approached the front door alone.
Daniel added: “To have someone come and deliver the food is amazing, it makes us here feel that somebody cares outside. It’s also good for me and us here to have the people contact, too, because “So for Harry and Meghan to do this is amazing. I have been a client of Project Angel Food for two years and I am on a blood pressure diet, which helps me. There’s two or three people in the building that get for from them. We’re here and self-isolating.”
