The Duke was pictured chatting to emergency responders and viewing brush trucks and rescue ATVs, as well as thermal search-and-rescue drones. Watch Duty, which is a real-time wildfire tracking and alert platform, has partnered with Harry and Meghan's charitable organization, Archewell Philanthropies, to support emergency responders on the front lines.
Harry's outing comes a year after wildfires destroyed more than 18,000 homes and burned over 57,529 acres, forcing more than 200,000 people to evacuate their homes in two areas of Los Angeles County. The Sussexes traveled to Los Angeles at the time where they visited a meal distribution site at the Pasadena Community Centre, and donated clothing, children's items, and other essential supplies to those affected.
The High Court case, brought by Harry and six others against Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL), is reportedly scheduled to begin on January 19, 2026.
Despite Prince Harry meeting with his father, the King, for the first time in 19 months in September 2025, the monarch is expected to be in Scotland for his traditional post-Christmas stay for much of January, and will not see his youngest son.
The Telegraph has reported that royal sources acknowledged Charles did not wish to be linked to any court proceedings, and will give his son a wide berth on this occasion.
