The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited the Preschool Learning Center in L.A.
On August 31, 2020, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited the Preschool Learning Center in Los Angeles and spent a morning gardening with young students, which is an annual activity that the school does every year. August 31 is also the 23rd anniversary of the death of The Duke's mother, Princess Diana. In order to memorialize her, The Duke and Duchess planted forget-me-nots, the late princess's favorite flower, in the garden of the school.
The duke and duchess also planted a mix of petunias, California wildflowers, tomatoes, squash, sweet peas, and more. Afterwards, the couple read the students a few books about gardening, vegetables, and planting, including the children's classic Jack and the Beanstalk.
The Preschool Learning Center is part of the Assistance League of Los Angeles, an organization which aims to improve the living conditions of poor children in the community by means of philanthropy, dedicated service, and compassionate programming. With the Preschool Learning Center, the Assistance League works to provide high-quality child care to students between the ages of three and five who come from lower-income families.
