Meghan Markle recently showcased her commitment to philanthropy during a visit to a Children's Hospital in Los Angeles, demonstrating a return to the compassionate spirit she often displayed as a member of the royal family.
As part of the "Make March Matter" fundraising campaign, the Duchess of Sussex spearheaded a "Literary Healing" session on March 21, capturing hearts with her genuine interactions with the young patients.
Images and videos from the event circulating online depicted Meghan engaging in storytelling sessions with the children. Beyond reading, she spent quality time interacting individually with the young patients, offering hugs, signing autographs, engaging in conversations, and posing for photographs.
During her visit, Meghan also took the opportunity to express her gratitude to the hospital staff and reportedly made a generous contribution to support the cause.
Comparisons have been drawn between Meghan's recent charitable endeavors and the philanthropic efforts of late Princess Diana and the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, on various occasions.
Social media was abuzz with reactions to Meghan's hospital visit, with one user speculating humorously, "Is Meghan Markle stepping in for the royals during their absence? Cameras, reading to kids – what's next?"
For the occasion, Meghan chose an elegant ensemble featuring a sheer white button-down blouse paired with a cream-colored knee-length skirt adorned with floral prints. Her hair, styled with a middle part, cascaded gracefully over one shoulder, complemented by a black protective face mask.
While many praised Meghan for her compassionate engagement with the children, opinions were divided among internet users. Some lauded her for the heartfelt visit, while others criticized her for allegedly orchestrating a media spectacle.
