Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry visited a preschooler learning center in Los Angeles. That's why critical voices report on Twitter.
During their charity outreach, Prince Harry, 35, and Duchess Meghan, 39, presented themselves really down-to-earth on Monday (August 31): The photos show how they kneel and sit on the floor and, among other things, petunias and California wildflowers set the earth. After gardening, Harry and Meghan read books about gardening, vegetables and plants to the children. A charity event that brings both good PR – but, as so often, also criticism.
Extra sausage for Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan?
The visit is being questioned by parents who are banned from entering their children's schools due to Covid-19 guidelines. Under a post from the charity organization that runs the education center, one user wrote: "I couldn't even hold my daughter's hand and take her to school last week (…). These two just show up and break the rules whenever you feel like it? " "Exactly, I can't bring my child a pencil right now. NO visitors. No exceptions," agrees another.

A third observer says, "Weren't you concerned that Harry was wearing his mask incorrectly, so close to young children? Have the parents / guardians of these children been warned that you will endanger them?" Dissatisfaction is also evident in this comment: "It's not safe to go back to school, but it is safe to team up with strangers for a photo opportunity."
Another harsh tweet reads: "All kids in Southern California study online. These poor kids are in preschool because their parents have important (systemic) jobs. And then they're exposed to outside people who come to their school for a photo ( …). "
Royals draw attention to charity organizations
The fact is: whenever and wherever Harry and Meghan appear, reports are made. Accordingly, the couple draws media attention to the charities, projects, programs, etc. that they support. Under the tweet about the visit, there are also some donation offers to the learning center. Behind one of the many criticized "photo opportunities" there is also a benefit for the charity.
The Assistance League of Los Angeles is an organization that works to improve the lives of disadvantaged children in the community. In the Pre Learning Center, high-quality childcare is to be offered to schoolchildren between the ages of three and five.
