Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited the victims of the LA wildfires and reportedly Meghan felt "upset" over the backlash she received for helping those affected by the LA wildfires.

According to a UK newspaper, Harry and Meghan have also urged people to "open their homes" to those evacuated and "check in" on any of their "disabled or elderly neighbors" in a statement that included a list of fire service charities, animal groups, and other initiatives to support those affected.

But their appearance in Los Angeles sparked a fierce backlash led by Hollywood actress Justine Bateman, who dubbed them "disaster tourists" and accused them of a "repulsive photo-op".

An insider alleged that the criticism had touched a "major nerve" for the duchess, who reportedly feels that "she's still getting treated like garbage" even when she's trying to help.

The told Heat magazine: "For Meghan especially, it cuts extremely deep and touches a major nerve. This is her home city burning to the ground, she wants to help, and yet by doing that, she’s still getting treated like garbage.

"Harry is telling her how proud he is, that the only way to handle it is to turn the other cheek and keep their side of the street clean. But of course, it gets them down and hurts like hell for both of them, how could it not?"

The source added that the Sussexes are "stunned and appalled" at the negative reaction to their efforts and feel like they're being "unfairly treated".
