In a heartwarming pre-Thanksgiving activity, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry spent time with their four-year-old daughter, Lilibet, helping bake cookies and prepare meals for the less fortunate in Los Angeles.
The Duchess of Sussex shared glimpses of the family volunteering at Our Big Kitchen Los Angeles, a nonprofit dedicated to feeding local communities struggling with food insecurity.
Photos posted on Meghan’s Instagram showed the couple grinning, kneading dough, chopping vegetables, and assembling meal packages with the help of other children.
Meghan captioned the montage simply: “Show up. Do Good.” — a motto aligned with the Sussexes’ Archewell Foundation, highlighting the importance of giving back.
A Hands-On Holiday Effort
In the pictures, Meghan could be seen shaping cookies while wearing a branded Archewell apron, smiling as she guided little Lilibet.
Meanwhile, Harry was captured dishing up portions of mince, rice, and peppers into tupperware containers.
Other snaps featured volunteers chopping fresh peppers and dozens of packed meals ready for delivery.
It was a full-on family effort, and the couple appeared genuinely engaged in making the holiday a little brighter for Angelenos in need.
Meals Reaching Local Communities
Archewell Foundation explained that the meals prepared would be distributed to local schools, shelters, senior centers, and other community organizations across Los Angeles.
The organization emphasized the broader mission: “Each year, OBKLA provides more than 70,000 nourishing meals while fostering a sense of care, connection, and belonging.”
The meals from this session went to groups such as Los Angeles Mercy Housing, Pico Union Project, and PATH, ensuring that vulnerable populations have something to celebrate this season.
Thanksgiving Prep Sparks Social Media Buzz
Earlier the same day, Meghan shared a video of herself preparing a Thanksgiving turkey at home.
While the clip showcased her seasoning the bird with a mix of herbs and spices, viewers immediately noticed she kept her rings and bracelets on while handling raw meat.
The unusual choice prompted a flurry of comments from fans and critics alike, with many expressing concern about hygiene.
Comments ranged from: “Guaranteed spread of bacteria,” to “Who wants crap getting stuck in your ring’s setting?”
Despite the scrutiny, Meghan’s holiday activities reflected a dual focus: taking care of family traditions and giving back to the community.
Spreading Holiday Cheer
From baking cookies to preparing wholesome meals, Meghan, Harry, and Lilibet demonstrated that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
Through their work with Our Big Kitchen and Archewell, the Sussexes aim to bring joy and nourishment to those facing tough times, emphasizing the spirit of the season while keeping their daughter involved in hands-on giving.
