Meghan Markle Faces Criticism for Publicizing Gift to Teen Wildfire Survivor

The Duchess of Sussex teamed up with Billie Eilish to replace a prized concert T-shirt lost in the California wildfires, sparking mixed reactions online.

Meghan Markle shared an Instagram video detailing her efforts to replace a 15-year-old's Billie Eilish T-shirt, which was destroyed in the Eaton Fire in Los Angeles.
The Duchess reached out to her network, including Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo, to connect with Billie Eilish, who sent a package of signed merchandise for the teen.
While some praised Markle's gesture as thoughtful and kind, others criticized her for publicizing the act, accusing her of seeking attention and self-promotion.
Markle and Prince Harry have been actively involved in wildfire relief efforts, including visiting affected areas, donating supplies, and supporting local charities like Altadena Teen Girls Fire Recovery.
The video marks one of Markle's early posts on her recently reactivated Instagram account, which has drawn significant public and media attention.
