The Duchess of Sussex has posted a new video opening a special gift donated by singer Billie Eilish for a family whose home was burned by the Los Angeles wildfires.

Posting to Instagram, Meghan explained how she got in touch with a mother and daughter whose home was “left in ashes” by the blazes that destroyed more than 12,000 homes.

Among the 15-year-old’s possessions burned in the fire was a Billie Eilish T-shirt that had been left in the washing machine.

In the video, Meghan opens a package to reveal the singer had signed a box full of merchandise for the 15-year-old.
