Meghan Markle, the wife of British Prince Harry, went to Uvalde on Thursday to pay tribute to the memory of the victims of Tuesday's killing in a school in this town in Texas (United States).
The 40-year-old duchess, in jeans, a t-shirt and a cap, gathered in front of a makeshift memorial on which she laid flowers.
She then walked around this space, in the central square of Uvalde, where there are white crosses on which are written the names of victims of the massacre, where 19 children and two adults were killed.
