Prince Harry posed for photos with the Los Angeles Fire Department and therapy dogs, following criticism from *Vanity Fair*, which labeled him and Meghan as the «most entitled, disingenuous people on the planet.»

Prince Harry recently posed for photos with therapy dogs Cruz and Taffy from the Salinas Fire Department, who have been providing vital support to first responders and residents affected by the California wildfires.

The Duke of Sussex was seen smiling as he interacted with the dogs and their handlers, expressing gratitude for their efforts.

The fire department shared four photos of the encounter on Instagram, highlighting Harry’s role in boosting the morale of the team.

The post emphasized how the royal, known for his advocacy work, met the dogs and their handlers as they helped combat the ongoing fires in Los Angeles.

The department also noted how the visit highlighted the importance of community collaboration in facing such devastating challenges, adding that meeting Harry was an inspiring moment for the crew.

This public gesture of support came after Harry’s wife, Meghan, expressed her heartbreak over the recent death of their rescue dog, Guy.

The couple, who also owns two other dogs, Mia and Pula, have been open about their love for animals.

However, the Sussexes continue to face criticism, with a *Vanity Fair* article recently calling them «the most entitled, disingenuous people on the planet.»

Despite this, Harry’s meeting with the therapy dogs and the South Dakota firefighters who are assisting with the wildfire response was well received.

In a separate development, Prince Harry also accepted a significant payout from the publisher of *The Sun* after the newspaper admitted to using unlawful methods to intrude into his private life, particularly during his younger years.

The apology, which included a payment of over £10 million, marks the conclusion of a legal battle that had been ongoing for years.

Outside the High Court, barrister David Sherborne acknowledged Prince Harry’s perseverance, stating that the historic admission of guilt was a direct result of his determination.

Harry and Meghan Markle, residing in Montecito, have been actively involved in aiding the California wildfire response.

On January 10, they visited a meal distribution site, providing support to local residents and emergency personnel.

However, their involvement was met with criticism from actress Justine Bateman, who labeled them as «disaster tourists» and accused them of seeking a «photo opportunity.»

According to a source, the couple found these comments upsetting, particularly Meghan, who has deep connections to Los Angeles.

In response, they have made donations of essential goods and collaborated with the Altadena Girls Fire Recovery Fund to help rebuild the community.

Moreover, the release of Meghan’s upcoming Netflix series, *With Love, Meghan*, was postponed to March 4 due to the ongoing wildfire crisis.

Allegations regarding the couple’s behavior towards staff, which surfaced in a *Vanity Fair* profile, were dismissed by the pair as «distressing.» Despite these claims, a source affirmed that their marriage is strong, and their bond remains unwavering.
