A spokesperson for the mom-of-two shared with HELLO! that the unannounced trip was taken by Meghan privately in order to pay her condolences and support the local community.
Meghan was pictured at a makeshift memorial outside the Uvalde County Courthouse, not far from Robb Elementary School where 19 children and two teachers were killed when an 18-year-old gunman entered the school.
Meghan wore a simple white T-shirt and blue jeans, and covered her head with a baseball cap. She was joined by the head of her security team Alberto Alvarez. She reportedly ignored calls from the reporters on the ground, instead standing and kneeling in thought.
