HELL FIRE

PRINCE Harry and Meghan are preparing to flee their £11million mansion as wildfires continue to devastate parts of Hollywood. The worst blazes in the history of Los Angeles have already claimed the homes of scores of A-list stars including Anthony Hopkins, Billy Crystal and Paris Hilton. Last night the fires were still some way from the Duke and Duchess's Montecito home but sources said they are ready to go into \"crisis mode\". Their security team has been co-ordinating an evacuation plan while packing essentials for their children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three. A neighbour said \"It's not chaos here yet but the fire is moving fast and we are not taking any chances.\" The couple and their neighbours - who are in a high risk area - have been given survival kits containing a solar charger, flashlight, protective equipment, ice, water, snacks and safety pamphlets. Last night they posted on their website to offer support, saying: \"A state of emergency has been issued. If you feel compelled to help, here are some resources.\" They then provided several links. The National Guard has been called out to help fight the fires sweeping the city where insurers say damage has already exceeded £8billion.
