Harry and Meghan pay visit to charity in memory of Diana

Harry and Meghan have paid a visit to a school in California in honour of Harry's late mother, Princess Diana, on the 23rd anniversary of her death.

On Monday the Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited children at the Preschool Learning Center in Los Angeles, California, where they helped plant a garden.

The couple also chose to scatter Forget-Me-Not seeds - a favourite flower of Princess Diana.

Pictures were shared of the couple wearing masks and getting their hands dirty as they planted up the soil with a group of children aged from 3-5 years.

The visit was to highlight work done by the Assistance League of Los Angeles, a 100-year-old charity which helps provide vulnerable children with everything from food and clothing to pre-school learning programmes.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have volunteered at the Preschool Learning Center previously, which provides 'high-quality childcare to preschool children from low-income families to help them succeed.'

The school also has a connection to the Duchess of Sussex, as it's just a few blocks from where she attended middle and high school.

Harry and Meghan relocated to California in the spring after stepping down as senior royals. They have reportedly purchased a home in Santa Barbara and have begun working with and volunteering for a number of charities across the state, which is where Meghan grew up.
