  • Meghan Markle showed her support for a group of women campaigning for safer gun laws.
  • The Duchess of Sussex sent the group treats to keep them fuelled, with a signed note thanking them.
  • Meghan's support comes after she visited Uvalde to pay her respects to the victims of an elementary school shooting.

Meghan Markle showed her support for a group of women campaigning for safer gun laws with some "delicious and appreciated" treats to keep them fuelled.

Shannon Watts of Moms Demand Action revealed on Wednesday that the organisation had received a personal note from the Duchess of Sussex, thanking them for their efforts.

"@MomsDemand volunteers and staff have been working around the clock for weeks, so it was moving to receive such a supportive note - and snacks! - from the Duchess of Sussex today," Watts shared on Twitter along with a photo of the note.

She revealed what the snacks included in a second tweet, writing, "Lots of questions about the snacks! Donuts, bagels w/the works, coffee, cookies, etc..."

Meghan's note was embellished with her gold royal monogram – a simple cursive 'M' topped by a crown.

"Good afternoon, ladies!" the mom of two wrote. "To each of you and your fearless leader, Shannon, a huge thank you for the work you are doing to keep our kids, families, and communities safe."

She continued, "Please know that while you may feel exhausted by your endless hours of dedication to this cause, I hope you feel energised in knowing that the work you're doing is vital and so deeply appreciated. As a mom, as a friend, thank you so much!"

Meghan's support comes after the podcast host visited the Texas town of Uvalde to pay her respects to the victims of an elementary school shooting that left 19 children and two teachers dead.
