Even though a lot of people are still scratching their heads over why she was even there in the first place, Meghan Markle says there’s a reason why she decided to travel to Uvalde, Texas in an unannounced visit. Here’s what you need to know.
According to reports, the director of a community center in Uvalde, Texas said that Meghan Markle told her that she held her kids a little tighter when she learned about the Texas shooting that left 19 school children and two teachers dead. Last week, the Duchess of Sussex visited the Herby Ham Activity Center, which hosted an emergency blood drive to help victims of the shooting.
Here’s Why Meghan Markle Visited Uvalde Following The School Shooting
Director Sue Rankin told Buzzfeed that Meghan simply wanted to come to Uvalde and show her support. “She wanted to come by and just see everything that was going on with the blood drive and to help. Her whole thing was she wanted to help,” Rankin said.
“She was going to be incognito, he told me that she was going to be wearing a T-shirt and ripped blue jeans and a hat and a mask and no one was going to — he didn’t want anyone to know who she was because she did not want the press attention.”
If that weren’t enough, Meghan also stopped by the local grocery store and picked up food platters for some of the center’s volunteers.
“She went and picked up trays and trays of sandwiches and snacks and everything for the people who were coming in and giving blood. It was for our workers. It was for myself,” Rankin said. “It was for anybody that wanted to, you know, have lunch.”
“There was no ‘Look! It’s Meghan Markle!’ Nothing. And she introduced herself as Meghan,” Rankin said. She said, ‘My name is Meghan,’ and didn’t go into any more detail. She started passing out sandwiches to the people who were donating [blood] and it was, she was delightful.”
