The Duchess of Sussex was spotted volunteering at a Los Angeles charity supporting teenage girls affected by wildfires, just days after her previous community outreach efforts.
Meghan Markle, 43, arrived at Altadena Teen Girls on Monday carrying bags of donations from the Archewell Foundation, which she founded with Prince Harry.
The donations included clothing and beauty products aimed at helping young girls impacted by the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires.
Footage shared by the organisation showed the duchess arriving alone wearing her LA black cap, ready to support the local community initiative.

The charity visit marks Meghan’s second volunteer appearance in less than a week, as wildfires continue to affect the region.
Altadena Teen Girls was launched by 14-year-old Avery Colvert to help her community in the aftermath of the devastating wildfires.
The teenage founder established the organisation specifically to help girls who lost their homes in the Eaton Canyon fire.
“I started this to help girls affected specifically by the Eaton Canyon fire who lost their homes feel like themselves and feel confident again,” Avery told the Los Angeles Times.
“They’ve lost everything, and I want them to feel a sense of normalcy when nothing else in their life is normal,” she added.
The initiative aims to help young girls regain their sense of self and confidence during this challenging period.
During her visit, the duchess provided lunch for the volunteers and spent time engaging with families at the charity.
Meghan assisted girls with shopping and offered support wherever needed, demonstrating hands-on involvement with the organisation’s mission.
The charity later shared their appreciation on Instagram, posting: “Thank you to everyone who showed up on Monday, which was such a special day! We love you!”
The video showed Meghan chatting with Avery and other participants while delivering the donations.
Town and Country magazine reported that the duchess actively participated in conversations with families throughout her time at the centre.
This latest volunteer work follows the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s appearance at the Pasadena Community Centre on January 10, where they distributed supplies to fire victims.
