The Duchess of Sussex emotionally paid tribute and offered flowers at the Texas school where 19 children and two teachers were killed in a massacre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meghan Markle laid a bunch of white roses with a purple ribbon at a line of crosses in Uvalde dedicated to the victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Los Angeles Times, the flowers were placed near Uziyah Garcia’s cross, which had the words “you will be missed” written on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
