Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a touching surprise visit to the sister of a teacher who was killed in a school shooting, before singing Happy Birthday to her in a heartwarming video.

Heroic Irma Garcia sacrificed her own life during the killing at Texas’ Robb Elementary School in May 2022 in a bid to allow her young students to get to safety.

In a tragic twist two days later, Irma’s husband, Joe, died from a broken heart. 

Irma’s nephew, John, 22, took to social media to share photos of the royals’ visit to his social media as the overwhelmed relative said he could not believe how the Sussexes were so ‘loving and supportive’.

He said that having Harry and Meghan come into their home ‘felt like having family and friends over’ and that they fit ‘right in’. 

John said the couple had even surprised his mother with a birthday cake – as videos showed a glowing Meghan smiling warmly as she held the white desert.

She and Harry – who were stood in the kitchen among their family – led the singing as they joined the heartwarming scene.

Meghan lit the candles on the cake and began the countdown for singing happy birthday before saying ‘with everyone singing too,’ to which a family member responded ‘It’s you first and then we’ll go after!’ 

The Duchess, 42, donned black skinny jeans and and a long-sleeve blouse, which she paired with gold jewellery. 

The actress looked in high spirits as she held the decorated gateau, presenting it to John’s mother, with her husband Prince Harry smiling in the background. 

And as they shared ‘intimate memories’, John said they shared ‘tears of joy’ with the Montecito pair. 

‘Meghan Markle singing my mom happy birthday was the cutest most adorable thing ever, she even bought her a cake,’ Ms Garcia’s grateful nephew wrote. 

Speaking to HELLO!, John added: ‘It truly meant the world that Harry and Meghan showed up to visit the family, there were lots of tears of joy and heartfelt moments.

‘They were the kindest, most humble people ever, it was like having family and friends over, having an amazing time together.

John explained that the pair had ‘kept in touch’ with the Garcia family every month since the senseless shooting. 

‘They keep in touch every other month, sometimes a little longer, but with their busy lives, them visiting truly felt more special,’ he said.

Meghan visited Uvalde just two days after the shooting where paid her condolences and laid a bouquet of white roses tied with a purple ribbon at the cross for 10-year-old Uziyah Garcia.

A spokesperson for the Sussexes told the outlet that Meghan went there unannounced to privately pay her condolences.

After the visit, it is believed the Duchess went to the Herby Ham Activity Center, delivering crates of food and drinks to blood donors.
