Prince Harry and Meghan reportedly make generous donation to grieving family
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reportedly made a substantial donation to help a grieving family.
The couple's generous act was seemingly revealed on a crowd-funding website and appears to have been made in their children's names.
It follows the tragic death of a nine-year-old boy, whose connection to Prince Harry and Meghan is unclear.
Prince Harry and Meghan are believed to have given $USD5000 (approx. $7000) to the Zajfen family, from Los Angeles, after the death of their son George.

The donation was made under the name "Archie & Lilibet".
Meghan's first husband Trevor Engelson and his wife Tracey Kurland also donated $1,000.
The mother of George, Kelly McKee Zajfen, paid tribute to her "sweet baby boy" on Instagram on Friday. It's not known why her son passed away.
"My world is shattered into a million pieces," Zajfen wrote on her account, _heartmom_
"I have little ability to breathe. Walk. Function. Sit. Stand. You were the light of my life.

"Your smile made the room so bright and your heart was the most perfect and sweetest.
"You left this Earth and left behind so many people who loved you. I don't know how I'm able to go on. How I can function. How I can be the light and have joy ever again but I'm going to try."
George has a twin sister, Lily.

According to multiple outlets, Zajfen is the co-founder of Alliance of Moms, an Los Angeles "community of philanthropists who support pregnant and parenting teens in LA's foster care system" and also runs an eco-conscious children's clothing brand.

A friend of the family, Kate Jefferson, starting the online fundraiser with a goal of $USD75,000. In two days it has already reached $55,000.
"No parent should lose a child, and no child should have to endure the loss of their twin," Jefferson wrote on the page.
"Our hearts are broken for Kelly, Julian, Lily and their entire family. The pain that their friends and online community feels is immense, and we want to help unburden the Zajfen family in any way that we can while George's funeral and celebration of life are being planned.
"Kelly and Julian are two of the most giving, philanthropic humans and now it is our time to give back to them."
