LA fires: Harry and Meghan among California’s famous residents set to flee homes as wildfires rage
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to flee their £11million mansion as raging wildfires continue to devastate parts of Hollywood.
The worst blazes in the history of Los Angeles have already claimed the homes of scores of A-listers including Anthony Hopkins, Billy Crystal and Paris Hilton. Tonight the fires were still some way from the Duke and Duchess’s Montecito home but sources said they are ready to go into “crisis mode”.
Their security team has been co-ordinating an evacuation plan while packing essentials for their children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three. A neighbour said: “It’s not chaos here yet but the fire is moving fast and we are not taking any chances.”
The couple and their neighbours have been given public safety survival kits containing a solar charger, flashlight, protective equipment, ice, water, snacks and safety pamphlets. Tonight they posted on their website: “A state of emergency has been issued. If you feel compelled to help, here are some resources.” They then provided several links.
