The Duchess of Sussex has posted a moving and emotional video thanking Billie Eilish for helping one young teenager who lost a prized tee-shirt during the Altadena wildfire.
A clearly overjoyed Meghan posted a rare video from her home in Montecito on Tuesday February 4, revealing how the Grammy award winner had sent in signed merchandise to be sent on to the 15-year-old fan who lost everything in the Altadena fires.
Using her celebrity connections, and notably thanking Maroon 5’s Adam Levine and his wife Behati, Meghan was able to get in touch with Billie and the package arrived at her home on Tuesday for Meghan to pass on to the family. Watch the video below:
In the video Meghan shared that she told the mom that she didn’t know Billie “but I’m going to figure out how to get you this shirt,” and so she “thought of everybody that I knew and I made a voice note and I was like, ‘Please can someone get this voice note to Billie Eilish? Here’s what I’m asking.'”
The note made its way to Adam and Behati, who Meghan said “helped get this over the line”.
Meghan then shared a look at the signed merch, including a vinyl of her new record, and clothing.”You guys, I don’t even know what all this stuff means, but it’s signed for her. Is that a lunchbox thing?” Meghan asked in the video as she held up items, joking: “This is when I feel really old.”
“This is going to mean so much to her… just thank you so much,” she concluded.
In the video, a bare-faced Meghan is wearing blue denim jeans and a black crewneck sweater, and she has her hair loose.
The video also gave a rare look into her home, revealing white-washed walls and exposed wooden beams, as well as a bronze chandelier, and wooden shutters that open to the garden.
She appeared to be in a study that had built-in white benches covered in neutral cushions.
