The Duchess of Sussex surprised
US organization Moms Demand Action with special treats on Wednesday
as they campaign for safer gun laws in the US.
The 40-year-old sent donuts,
bagels, coffee and cookies along with other snacks according to founder of the organization
Shannon Watts who shared the details of Meghan’s personal correspondence on
Twitter.
Along with the treats, the
Duchess sent a letter headed with her monogram which featured the Coronet
of the Child of the Heir Apparent.
The note read: “Good
Afternoon Ladies. To each of you and your fearless leader Shannon, a huge thank
you for the work you are doing to keep our kids, families and communities safe.

Shannon took to Twitter to share the exciting news
“Please know that while
you may feel exhausted by your endless hours of dedication to this cause, I
hope you feel energized in knowing that the work you’re doing is vital and so
deeply appreciated.
“As a mom, and a friend,
thank you so much! Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.”
Sharing the special message on
Twitter Shannon wrote: “@MomsDemand volunteers and staff have been working
around the clock for weeks, so it was moving to receive such a supportive note
– and snacks! – from the Duchess of Sussex today,” with three red love
hearts.
The leader was so taken by the
letter and gifts, she even sent Meghan a uniform red T-shirt worn by the organization.
A follower asked: “The
Duchess needs a red shirt.” To which Shannon replied: “It’s on the
way!”
The cause is close to Meghan’s
heart as last month the royal made a surprise appearance in Uvalde after
the horrific mass shooting which killed 21 people including 19 children.
The wife of Prince Harry reportedly
entered the back entrance of Herby Ham Activity Centre to deliver two crates of
food, beverages, and desserts for blood donors.
Meghan donned a grey
t-shirt, jeans and a blue baseball cap for the visit and placed flowers at a
makeshift memorial outside the Uvalde courthouse.
She later looked around the
memorial which displayed white crosses bearing the names of the victims of the
truly tragic event.
