Meghan Markle made a surprise visit Thursday to Uvalde, Texas, to pay tribute to the victims of a deadly elementary school shooting.

The Duchess of Sussex approached a memorial outside of the courthouse in the southern Texas town and laid a bouquet of white roses in front of a cross dedicated to 8-year-old Uziyah Garcia, the youngest victim in the attack. She was accompanied by a bodyguard, according to the Daily Mail.

The duchess and her husband, Prince Harry, live in Montecito, California, with their two children after the two stepped down as working royals in 2020. It is not clear if Harry accompanied his wife to Uvalde.
