Prince Harry might have left his royal life in London, but public service has been ingrained in his blood because he is reportedly secretly volunteering in four-hour shifts in California.
Finding Freedom biographer Omid Scobie said that he's heard from sources close to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex of their secret charity work. In his podcast show, Scobie said that Prince Harry is specifically volunteering at an organization helping vulnerable veterans.
The source told Scobie that the charity receives Prince Harry well because he simply does not show up for the sake of appearances and keeps quite a low profile. The Duke of Sussex sometimes volunteers on a hot day and diligently has his cap and face mask on while hundreds of cars pass by the street.
Scobie wasn't clear about what type of volunteer work Prince Harry does. However, it sounds like he distributes meal packages and receives donated coats for the winter season from people who come into the unnamed charity's site.
His work is similar to what he did for Mission Continues Service Platoons in early November for the Compton Veterans and the Walker Family Events Foundation. Sources who were with the Duke of Sussex said that he's "humble and kind" in person as he packed food for distribution.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan are celebrating their first traditional American holiday, Thanksgiving, in their Montecito mansion with Doria Ragland, Meghan's mother. Scobie confirmed that the family of four, including Archie, will share a quiet and cozy home-cooked dinner with ingredients plucked from their garden.
This will be the second time Harry, Meghan, and Archie spend Thanksgiving with Doria. In 2019, the Sussexes were in Canada for a holiday, and Doria flew from Los Angeles to join them. According to royal expert Katie Nicholl, Meghan has been looking forward to this family celebration. The Duchess of Sussex is a "talented chef" who will likely work at the kitchen this Thanksgiving without any help from the staff.
It comes as Meghan's op-ed piece about her miscarriage in the New York Times received praises for breaking down the stigma and culture of silence. Netizens on Twitter thanked the Duchess of Sussex for telling her story to comfort other women who have experienced the same pregnancy loss.
Four months after losing their baby, sources told E! News that Meghan and Harry are doing fine and are in good health. They are looking forward to spending their first Christmas in their new home as well since the Sussexes will not fly back to London for the holidays amid the hassles of travel in this COVID-19 period.
