Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, attended a charity event with her husband Prince Harry to honor the late son of a close friend. The George Zajfen Tennis Tournament took place at the Los Angeles Tennis Club, dedicated to George Zajfen’s passion for tennis.
George, the son of Kelly McKee Zajfen and entertainment lawyer Julian Zajfen, tragically passed away in 2022 due to a sudden viral illness. Kelly, a longtime friend of Meghan even before her global fame, founded the Alliance of Moms to support expectant and parenting youth in LA’s foster care system.
The event raised funds to assist young mothers and enhance their future opportunities. During the tournament, Kelly, who is also a mother to daughter Lily, delivered a speech while Meghan, visibly moved, wiped away tears, with Harry standing supportively beside her.
Kelly expressed her gratitude to Meghan and Harry for their unwavering commitment to the community and friendship. She credited them for their support of The Alliance and for keeping George’s memory alive.
Meghan and Kelly’s friendship dates back almost two decades, with Meghan providing immense support, especially following George’s passing. The couple also made a significant donation to a GoFundMe page set up in George’s honor.
In an Instagram Q&A, Kelly shared heartfelt sentiments about Meghan, describing her as nurturing, loving, and an endless source of inspiration. Kelly expressed the overwhelming support she received from her community during the difficult times after George’s death.
The touching bond between Meghan, Harry, and Kelly showcases the power of friendship and support during times of loss and grief.
