Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly volunteered to deliver meals to people with critical illness as they settle into life in Los Angeles.
According to ET Online, the couple has volunteered to help Project Angel Food which helps those who are most at risk if they caught coronavirus.
It comes as WellChild revealed Harry spent time over the Easter weekend video calling families with sick children, as patron of the charity.
Richard Ayoub, Project Angel Food's executive director told ET: “They told us they heard our drivers were overloaded and wanted to volunteer to lighten the drivers' workload.
“I am blown away that they chose us. They care about our vulnerable population.

Meghan’s love for cooking and food is well known in her previous work. Before she became a duchess, she had a lifestyle blog called The Tig on which she shared recipes, and one of her earliest pieces of work as a royal was a cookbook launched with the survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy.
