This is the touching moment Meghan Markle called Prince Harry ‘my love’ before singing Happy Birthday during a surprise visit to the family of a teacher killed in a Texas school shooting.

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.

Footage shows the Duchess of Sussex sharing a heartfelt moment with Harry as they stood in the kitchen of the family’s home to celebrate a birthday.

Meghan is seen holding a cake with candles for the mother of Irma’s nephew, John, before she turns around to Harry to check he is still there and calls him ‘my love’.

Harry and Meghan were visiting Uvalde in Texas for a local event to support families who were affected by the mass shooting. The event was planned by KABOOM! – an organisation which made a commitment to the community following the 2022 shooting.

John, 22, shared photos of the royals’ visit to their house, adding that 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 surprised his mother with a cake – as videos showed a glowing Meghan smiling warmly as she held the white dessert.

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, 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.

‘They fit right in, we laughed a lot and shared intimate memories together.’

John explained that the pair had ‘kept in touch’ with the Garcia family regularly 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.

On the May 24, 2022, 19 children and two teachers were killed after a gunman walked into Robb Elementary school in Texas and began firing.

One of the children, aged 10, aspired to be a lawyer and another wanted to be a marine biologist
