 Meghan Markle  paid a special visit to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles last month. Patients and staff were treated to a “Literally Healing” story time with the Duchess of Sussex as part of the hospital’s annual Make March Matter campaign, which builds awareness and support for children’s health in Los Angeles.

Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s mom, who is a children’s book author herself, had the children laughing and singing as she read patient-favorite books, including Rosie the Riveter, Pete the Cat, and I Saw a Cat. 

In a video, Meghan was seen holding Rosie Revere, Engineer, telling the group, “This is one of my favorites.” During the visit on March 21, Meghan also helped kids with STEAM activities tied to each book and took polaroid pictures with the children.

The hospital visit took place the same day Meghan and Harry hosted an event in honor of The Kinsey African American Art and History Collection at the Kinsey Collection Exhibition at Sofi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The Duchess’ mother Doria Ragland, as well as Beyoncé’s mom Tina Knowles were among the guests at the event.
