The Duke and Duchess of Sussex appeared at the George Zajfen Tennis Tournament in Los Angeles on Saturday in honour of Kelly McKee Zajfen's late son George. The event for the Alliance for Children's Rights was in remembrance of George, who died aged just nine in July 2022 after being found unresponsive in their family home.
Meghan is known to be good friends with Zajfen, co-founder of the alliance which supports pregnant and parenting teenagers in the foster care system in Los Angeles. In an Instagram post yesterday, the day of Harry's birthday, model Zajfen and her family thanked the Sussexes for their support at the competition on Saturday. Alongside five photos, they wrote at the end of a long message: 'Extra special day too.
..HAPPY 40th Birthday H! May this trip around the sun be the best yet.
