Meghan has been a strong support for Kelly during their friendship, especially after the loss of George.
In October, Meghan and Prince Harry attended the George Zajfen Tennis Tournament in Los Angeles. The event took place in support of the Alliance for Children’s Rights, an organisation dedicated to providing legal aid, safe housing, education, and family support for vulnerable children and youth.

She wrote: “The George Zajfen Tennis Tournament was nothing short of extraordinary. Our incredible community showed up with so much love, heart, and spirit… all in honour of our beautiful boy.”
Kelly added: “Meg & H, you continue to amaze me with your commitment to community and your fierce loyalty and love in friendship.
“I’m always in awe of your ability to show up for others, for this cause, and for our family. Thank you for holding Georgie in your hearts and helping us carry his light forward.”
