Meghan Markle‘s so inspired by stories of compassion she’s witnessing through the pandemic, she decided to make a surprise appearance to honor those very heroes.
The Duchess of Sussex made an unscheduled appearance on CNN’s ‘Heroes’ special Sunday night to thank “individuals (who) stood up and made sure the most basic needs of our communities were met. They made sure those around them did not have to suffer in isolation.”
It’s the first time Meghan has made a public statement since her op-ed in the New York Times last month, revealing she’d suffered a miscarriage in the summer. She and Prince Harry — who left their royal roles in March — have kept a low profile since moving to California, but still found ways to help here.
TMZ broke the story … the couple quietly delivered quality food to needy folks back in April. Then, at the start of the school year, they dished out school supplies to students in need.
Meghan seems especially thankful to those who fed kids in need of a meal in the absence of a school lunch meal. During Sunday night’s telecast she said, “When kids’ lunch programs came to a halt, we saw our neighbors make sure that those children received the nutrition they need.”
